MIM #196: Colorful Card Corners


Well happy new year! This is the first card I'm sharing for 2015...I have really enjoyed perusing various blogs and seeing the "Favorite Cards of 2014" posts, so I'm considering doing one of those this week. Stay tuned! :) Back to this week's MIM, where Danielle Flanders challenges us to create a focal point in the corner of our card. Here is my attempt:

 When I saw the challenge, I immediately grabbed my new to me Garden Grace stamp set from PTI. I couldn't find a more perfect set as part of it is made for embellishing card corners!
I started with a white card base and then used my horizontal cutting plate to cut  (like butter, might I add) Aqua Mist cardstock. Then inked up the first part of the two-step stamp with Hawaiian Shores and the second with Aqua Mist. The leaves were inked up with Memento's Bamboo Leaves and Pear Tart. Finished it off with a double ended banner from Tag Sale 10 and some enamel dots et voilà!

Have a great week and craft on!
