This particular card took me a while to get exactly right. I fussed and fussed and moved things around...trashed a whole sheet and a half of cardstock!
Lookie:
Ingredients: Stamps - Perfectly Penned, Bordering on Romance; Paper - Twitterpated DSP, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzaz, Riding Hood Red; Ink - Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze; Other - Twitterpated buttons, Baja Breeze 1/8" taffeta ribbon, Cherry Cobbler marker, 1" square punch, Paper Daisy, Bojo Blossoms punch, Signo white gel pen.
Once I got this done, I was STOKED, because it is GOJUS!!! (YILM!) I love the handkerchief edge on the front of the card...I tried to resist doing that, but I. Just. Couldn't. Resist!
Isn't this a great way to use up scraps of designer paper? Ta!
Beautiful Jan, great job.

So very cute! I love the idea of using up scraps of DSP (probably because I never DO use up those little pieces, but I can't throw them away!)

I love it. My sister is a quilter will have to give it a try for a card for her. Keep up the great work. Barb

Gojus, indeed! And we all have that elusive pile of scraps that "someday" we'll use. Thanks for a cute idea.

Great card Jan--I tried quilting-but my brain could not get all the measuring--now I can just make this card without all the math!!! Love the handkerchief hem--your colors are remarkable. Love it!!!
