Sweet Sahara Sand

I've fallen in love with one of our lovely neutral colours lately - Sahara Sand. It's a beautifully soft grey-taupe that can be used easily in both masculine and feminine cards and blends exceptionally well with other colours. For this simple, versatile card I layered Sahara Sand card stock with "Delicate Dots" Designer Series Paper from our Sale-a-Bration campaign, then created another smaller layer of Whisper White and Sahara Sand card stock with the corners notched using the Ticket Corner punch. To add a bit of pizazz I stamped and cut out a flower from the Polka Dot Punches set and anchored it using a Filigree Designer Brad, then tied 1/4" white grosgrain ribbon around one of the clips from our Clips Assortment for a pretty little bow. The verse comes from the Best Wishes & More stamp set.

I think it would make a lovely birthday or thank you card, and with just a bit more "dressing up" might also make a lovely congratulations card for a wedding. The versatility of a card like this makes it a great one to make and keep on hand for those last-minute occasions where you wish you had time to create a home-made card but don't. It will be featured in an upcoming class on my summer schedule - keep checking back to Summer's Creative Corner for details!
