Today's featured stamper StamperPam has such a happy gallery filed with lots of bright colors and patterns ... just my style. I've had her blog in my daily reads for some time.
My inspiration was her Present for Mom and MIL. I changed up the color palette using my new Charlotte Scenic Route paper (from Frugalities). I had to lengthen the design to fit the stickers I wanted to use (finished card is 4" x 8 1/2" for a business size envelope).
Another reason I liked this card is that it works for No Time To Stamp's Scalloped Edge challenge. I love making scallops with my Stampin' Up slit punch. To keep the scallops lined up evenly on each side of the card, I punch a strip an inch or so longer than what I need and then center it on the card and trim each side to match. I didn't have a white pen, so I used a silver sharpie for the dots.
Thanks Pam for the inspiration.
Beautiful card! Love the color combo! :-)
