There are 2 awesome things about this card, it's super flat for mailing and you can easily mass produce it since it's all stamping in the same color ink. I made 4 of these cards total in a very short amount of time to send off to family.
To create this gorgeous card I used Stampin' Up Craft Ink in Whisper White and stamps from SP & Company.
I started by stamping the corners using the stamp set Stitchery Doo. That set is mainly stitching lines - which I LOVE, but this wonderful design is on there too. Doing the corners first will help everything else line up easier.
After the corners were in place I wanted to stamp the sentiment to create a sort of border effect. The sentiment is very elegant and swirly, it's from Ultimate Sentiments I. I stamped it so that it is upright at both the top and the bottom of the card. On the sides I had it face inward.
The last step was stamping the flourish in the middle. I saved this for last because I thought it was easier to see where to place it with the border elements all in place. If you didn't want such a flat card this center flourish would be lovely heat embossed or layered onto a scalloped circle and popped up. The flourish is from the set called Flourishee.
