My husband and I visited Arizona last November for the first time, and fell in love with it; in fact, we’re returning for a month in February/March! I had time to play with the new Desert Details bundle yesterday, so I created one more slimline card (see my last post) using these beautiful products with a Southwestern flair.
Do you love our vase? We purchased this in Scottsdale last November. It is horsehair pottery. The hair of a horse’s mane is fired in a kiln along with the clay. We just loved it, so it had to come home with us. Here are some measurements for you:
- Basic White Card Base: 8 1/2″ by 6″, scoring the 6″ side at 3″,
- Colored Cardstock panel: 8 3/8″ by 2 7/8″
- Designer Series Paper panel: 8 1/4″ by 2 3/4″
Once I got all the base layers adhered, I just had to build my card front as shown. I stamped two flowers with Cajun Craze ink on Basic White cardstock, as well as one of the sentiments from the stamp set onto a diecut circle. I also cut a narrow band of cardstock about 1/4 inch or so by 3″, and three patterned Southwestern-y diecuts in three different patterns from the DSP.
I trimmed excess papers off the side, and then added some Festive Pearls in metallic silver and some Linen Thread.
The Delicate Desert papers add such beauty to these cards. I love the warm colors of Gray Granite, Cajun Craze, Soft Succulent, and Pale Papaya. The possibilities are endless with bundle, as you will see over the next week as I share more samples!
Remember depending on the envelopes you have you can make your slimline cards any size you want, and then just cut your layers 1/8″ smaller for each layer.
