Organic Outline Card and Envie

Here is another project that I was able to squeeze in during naptime. When I first saw the Organic Outlines stamp set, I was really drawn to it because of the funky design but I wasn't sure how I would be able to use it. I went ahead and ordered it anyway. When I had my opportunity to stamp, I pulled out the stamp set, some new patterned paper, and a couple of the new In Colors and got started!

This layout is CASEd from a card I saw on Splitcoast. For this version I switched up the colors, the papers, and the greeting. The card base is Kiwi Kiss (LOVE it!) and the image is stamped in Baja Breeze and then matted in Basic Grey. The patterned paper is Urban Garden - not only is the color combo super-chic, this patterned paper coordinates with a number of new stamp sets like Upsy Daisy and Kindred Spirits. I used this retired birthday sentiment for the greeting because I thought it really fit the look of the card. I used some Basic Grey taffeta ribbon as well as one of my mini library clips for some extra umph!

One thing I really love to do is stamp the envelope to coordinate with the enclosed card. This stamp set is PERFECT for that - the outline looks fabulous when its stamped on the envelope.
