When C.C. Designs came out with their super awesome Take a Seat set, I just had to have it. There are very few stamps that I feel I must have like right now, but this was one of them. I think it had to do with the armchair and the enormous paper piecing potential it presented. And the awesome stone wall.
But once I got the set and cut out the stamps, I didn't know what to do with them. The images are just...so...huge. It's like they take up the whole entire space of a normal sized card.
The challenge was to make a long card, and lo, it solved the dilemma I was facing with the images taking up the whole entire card face!
I used PTI True Black and Simply Chartreuse cardstock, embossing the SC paper with Birds & Swirls embossing folder. For the scallops in the sketch, I used my brand spankin' new MFT open scallop border die. I laid a black strip of paper across the middle, but it looked so plain, so I topped it with a sheer purple ribbon that I had lying around. All this was finished off with 2 PTI Simply Chartreuse buttons.
As for the sentiment, Verve's Circular Sayings are seriously my go-to set of sentiments. So simple, yet so pleasing to the eye and fits many card situations!
