I’ve had the High Tide set for a while now and it just hasn’t made it to the top of the stack. I can’t explain that – it’s a great set and has some awesome sayings. I decided to use the same layout again and this saying was just the right shape for the card! Do you do that? Sometimes select a sentiment because it fits in the space correctly? It always makes me laugh when I do that.

This uses a large piece of paper from the Delightful Daisy DSP – 5 /14 by 4 inches on a night of navy base. I then made the top pieces – a piece of whisper white which “looked right” – 1 3/4 inches to be precise and stamped the awesome sentiment in more night of navy on one side so that the beautiful crushed curry mini chevron ribbon bow would fit. I also used crushed curry as the matting for the piece of whisper white; despite the yellow in the DSP actually being daffodil delight, it’s been watered down to get the watercolor effect and the actual card stock is just a touch too much in my opinion. Crushed curry works nicely – and of course goes well with the lovely ribbon.
