Succulent Garden Center Step Card

 

We are featuring unusual shaped card on today's Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog post.  I had received a center step card in a recent card swap and wanted to try my hand at creating one of my own.  I found an excellent tutorial on Splitcoaststampers and you can access it HERE.

 

 

 I selected 2 patterns of the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper to cover the strips created on the card.  It creates such a nice contrast to mix the patterns, don't you think?  The Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon coordinates well with the bold prints.

 

 

For the focal point, I began by stamping the greeting in Tip Top Taupe ink onto Whisper White card stock.  I die cut the greeting with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The edges were stamped with flowers in Mint Macaron and Sweet Sugarplum inks, stamping off first to lighten the colors.  I layered the greeting on to a die cut oval of Mint Macaron card stock before adhering to the front of the card with dimensionals.

You'll find the complete list of supplies below.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
