A Pink and Silver Card

Hello friends!  Today I have an elegant card to share with you using the April Creative Cafe' Kit - Petticoat Fashion plus the add-on stamp set, The Greatest Gift Of Life from The Rubber Cafe'. I really love the color combo of pink with silver/gray so I went with the very pretty patterned paper included in this kit to make my card.

This card measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" or A2 size.  I cut the gray textured cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11" and folded it at 5 1/2" to create the base of the card.  I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4" and the pink/silver doily paper to 3 3/4 x 5" and adhered that to the white layer.   I die cut a small doily from the gray cardstock to layer the sentiment on.  Here is how I did the sentiment.

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock using gray ink.

Stamp one of the swirls in the stamp set around the sentiment using black ink.  I started at the top and stamped around my sentiment.

 

Then using scissors trim around the swirls and layer this onto the card!  I added the gray seam binding to finish this card.  Love theses colors!!  

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

I really like the sentiment stamped in gray instead of black. I'm thinking I need to get a good gray ink pad for those times when black is too stark. Such a pretty card!

Karen, I love the Gray Flannel Memento Ink Pad. It's the perfect gray.
