I used the hostess set Very Vintage to stamp my background here and used Cherry Cobbler Ink. To keep it simple I used the same colour card stock.
So I created a random stamped background on half my card front and masked the lower half off. After stamping was complete I ran my card front through my big shot using one of the Delicate Lace Edgelits dies. Such a mouthful of a name but way worth it because the set is absolutely stunning.
I tidied up my join where the stamping ends with a 3/4" strip of the same card. I added a faux dot stitched edge using a white gel pen. As the card is a busy pattern I opted for a clean and simple sentiment from the same stamp set and simply punched out using the Classic label punch.
I love the simple, timeless look of this card and particularly love the detail in this floral stamp. I really enjoyed making this card for the blog hop and urge you to hop along following the links to see some great inspiration.
