Beautiful Summer Smooches

When I started on the Color Challenge at Create with Connie and Mary, I began on a card and it was NOT going in the same direction I was. So I put it down and came up with something else. Later I came back to it to see if I could finish what I had started. I wanted to create a 3D frame on the front of the card and use the new Summer Smooches stamp set I just bought. Here is the result...

To create the scalloped frame I stated with a piece of card stock 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". I used the scallop border punch to create the border then scored 1/2"  and 3/4" in from each edge. I used my square punch to trim the extra piece from each corner then folded the edges. I also added some Crystal Effects to the vase and flowers to give them dimension as well.

Here is a close up of the frame and vase... 

This card was a little out of my comfort zone but I am pleased with the wasy it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by!

  6. FABULOUS use of the colors! It is surprising how sometimes you look at the colors and think they just won't work and then they pull together so wonderfully like in your card! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
