Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The new Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection includes patterned paper featuring florals in muted tones, along with stamp and die bundles that feature both floral and foliage elements, and sentiments that can be the focal point of your designs.
 

A rectangle of the Very Vanilla floral pattern from the Brushed with Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 4¼" x 5½" was adhered to a folded Crumb Cake card base (with the fold at the top). The long sides of a smaller rectangle of the dotted patterned paper from the same DSP (measuring 4¼" x 2½"; approx. ½" taller than the final layer) were torn to expose the white core of the paper along those edges. This layer was then adhered to the centre of the card front.

The three 'because' dies from the Words of Beauty Dies were used to cut the three layers of the focal point sentiment, which were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Adhesive Sheets could also be used). Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Paper was used for the base layer, Crumb Cake Cardstock was used for the middle, and Petal Pink Cardstock die used for the top. The completed layered element was added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

The middle-sized label die from the Words of Beauty Dies was used to cut a label from Very Vanilla Cardstock. The 'You've Been on My Mind' stamp, from the coordinating Words of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on the label using Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Ink™. Very Vanilla Baker's Twine, from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, was wrapped around the card front three times, and tied to the right side of the dotted DSP layer. The stamped label was added with Stampin' Dimensionals, over the knot securing the twine.
