Today I decided I wanted to create a simple card that
featured two colors that are perfect together, gold and black. I thought the Bamboo Beauty stamp set was the
perfect set to showcase these stunning colors.
Here is what I came up with…
I think this card is simply elegant. This is an excellent example of how less is
more. The Gold Stampin’ Emboss powder
really makes the stamp set pop. Oh, and
the little symbol on the side represents “friendship”. So, let’s get started shall we.
The card base is Basic Black cardstock that is cut 5 ½
x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then cut a
second piece of Basic Black cardstock to 2 ¼ x 5”. I stamped this piece with the bamboo from the
stamp set and the friendship symbol using Versamark ink and then added Gold
Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. Once that was done, I cut a piece of Gold Foil
to mount it on that measured 2 ½ x 5 ¼”.
I added the two layers to the base using Dimensionals. Three little Gilded Gems finish off the front
of the card.
For the inside I stamped the sentiment “The Bamboo
that bends is Stronger than the Oak that Breaks” which is a Japanese Proverb
and one of the little bamboo branches onto a piece of Basic White cardstock
that measured 4 x 5 ¼” using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I also added another of the bamboo branches
onto the envelope.
This was a fast and simple card that really stands
out. I hope you enjoy this card I
certainly enjoyed making it. As always you
