This card was made using the Hand Penned Memories and More cards & envelopes. They corrdinate so nicely with the Hand Penned suite. I used the Curvy dies to cut the designer paper and then stamped a flower to add to the card. I used a Stampin Blend marker to add some highlights to the flowers. This made them stand out more. The sentiment is stamped in black ink.
I will have to say that I thought the 6" card length was a weird length, so I cut 1/2" off of the side to make the card a standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4." They still fit into the envelope with a little extra room. Have you used the Memories and More card fronts? Did you think the size was just a bit too large?
The card idea is from Nicole Stalker.
Up next is a pretty purple card using the Hand Penned. I found the idea to use a vase from LeAnn Pugliese. I cut out a vase shape from silver cardstock and embossed it using the Tasteful Textile folder. Don't you think it adds so much to the card?
I never used to like making cards with purple, but since we've added the Highland Heather to our cardstock choices, I think I really like the purples now. I used the background stamp from the Very Versailles set for the right side of the card and added the pretty cardstock to the left side.
I stamped the flower image and a couple of other smaller flowers for the background. I think this is my favorite Hand Penned card so far. For the first card, the edging is cut with the strip in Penned Flowers and in the second card, I used the Scalloped Contours edge. Which one do you like better?
