The other day I was looking through the Perennial Essence Designer Paper and was reminded how beautiful it is so I came up with this Thinking of You Card With Perennial Essence Paper. It’s a basic simple card design, you can make this card with an even easier look. It just depends on how you want to design your card.
The Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper is designed with handpainted impressionistic images. While you might think that isn’t your cup of tea, when you see the paper it really is beautiful and the paper has so many coordinating colors. For this card, I chose the beautiful white flowers that coordinate with Petal Pink, for one color. I used Petal Pink as the card base with a layer of Whisper White in between the colored cardstock and the designer paper.
The Perennial Essence Designer Paper is even discounted in price in the Last-Chance Products! Usually, you can count on almost all designer paper to be retired to make room for new patterns in the new catalog!
Before adhering the designer paper to the cardstock, I adhered some Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic Edge Ribbon around the side of the designer paper. I tied the bow separately and stuck it on with Mini Glue Dots. That’s a little easier getting it oriented exactly how you want it rather than tying it onto the ribbon.
For the greeting, you can choose almost anything! If you are lucky enough to have a mother or grandmother to send a Mother’s Day card to, this card would be lovely. Actually you could even use this greeting if you didn’t have a Mother’s Day greeting. And with the world in the situation it is in right now, this card and greeting is perfect to send to almost anyone in our lives, because who are we not thinking of with all of our heart? This greeting is in the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I am so glad this set is carried over to the new catalog!
The greeting is stamped on Whisper White Cardstock in Petal Pink Ink and die cut with one of the rectangle dies in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. As I write this, these dies are “Unorderable” but they should be available soon. And they will be in the new catalog! I like these dies! Then the greeting is layered on another Petal Pink die cut from the same set. And I couldn’t resist adding a little bit of bling in the empty space! I added two Petal Pink Rhinestone Jewels to the top and bottom of the die-cut. These pink rhinestones of various shapes are in the Last-Chance products at a discounted price!
Mother’s Day is coming May 10th so get ready by making a card like this Thinking of You Card With Perennial Essence Paper or change the greeting for almost any other occasion.
