I saw a beautiful gray and black fabric on the
Designers Guild website that inspired today's card. The Decorative Label punch creates a decorative design on both the card's bottom edge and the main white element on the card front. To create this look on a card, insert the punch only partially into the cs and press the punch, then simply align the punch across the cs, each time punching while "eyeballing" the spacing so the punch is always lined up with the same spot on your punched cs. Give it a try on some scrap card stock until you have an appealing border! It's fun! If you would like a detailed instruction post, let me know.
The main white element on this card is stamped with the Parlor Prints background stamp in the current Stampin' Up IB&C. It is a lovely vintage print. Stamping in Basic Gray and then sponging the white cs with Blushing Bride ink gives it a distressed, vintage appearance.
The message element consists of a stamp from the Petite Pairs stamp set, along with one of the stamps from the Four Frames stamp set. The "frame" can be stamped once or layered for a jazzed up message piece like I've done here!
