Paisley & Perfect Presentation

Here is another card from the October Stamp Camps. This one features the Paisley background stamp, which happens to be one of my favorites. You can pair it with really dainty florals for a soft, feminine card or project...or you can use it with more rustic colors for a masculine look! Here, we are going to be using for a Christmas card.

The Paisley background is stamped on to the Ballet Blue card front with Ballet Blue Classic ink. The Christmas tree is stamped in Wild Wasabi on Whisper White and then matted on Wild Wasabi. The Real Red strip of cardstock is layered over the card front and secured with Real Red brads. Finallly, JOY is stamped on to the strip of Real Red with the White Craft Pad.

Do you notice something a bit different about this card??? NO RIBBON! Can you believe it?!? I actually finished a card without a single stitch of ribbon, hemp, or fiber! Don't worry, it wasn't for a lack of trying - I was out of the Wild Wasabi double stitched ribbon!
