Papertrey May Blog Hop
Inspiration source: this summer campsite.
Don't you wish you owned this darling camp trailer? I do!
My goal was to create a masculine graduation card.
My goal was to create a masculine graduation card.
The following elements inspired my card:
Adorable retro camper
Gingham tablecloth
Round paper lanterns
Green grass
All stamps and dies used are from Papertrey Ink.
I rounded the corners of the A2 white card adding score lines to mimic the camper. A grassy green frame was created from the Mix & Mat: Herringbone die minus the interior die. The frame was textured with the linen impression plate and each corner highlighted with copper die cuts. The larger die from Tag #12 was cut from Chicken Scratch Gingham paper and the inner white circle stamped with sentiments from two different sets, Stylish Sentiments: Birthday and Zappy Birthday. To hide the hole in the gingham tag, a Zappy Birthday copper thunderbolt die cut was added. I used a striped paper die cut from the Envelope Envy kit to dress up the inside of the envelope. This card is on its way to Colorado for my cousin's high school graduation.
Love the way you used the design elements from the inspiration photo to create a masculine card!
