I love it when a card is simple! I got my inspiration from this week’s sketch at MOJO Monday, and this Congrats card came together very quickly. Here’s the sketch:
I hope my rhinestones count as the horizontal element 🙂 I didn’t need any additional greeting, thanks to the big greeting from the set Bravo, which will be available June 2 from the new Annual Catalog. That “Con-grat-YOU-la-tions” is one of my favorite new greetings. It’s big and fun, so it’s a great sentiment for a focal point.
The circles are from the February Paper Pumpkin kit. I stamped them in Wisteria Wonder, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Sky and Smoky Slate. You could use another background stamp, and if you really want circles as shown here, make a mask for your stamp.
And just a little tip if you are wrapping your ribbon or twine around the whole card front, or even just the mat – cut a little notch with a circle punch or a hole punch to keep the ribbon where you want it. This is an easy step that results in a more polished look.
You can see more samples for this sketch at MOJO Monday.
