A sketch challenge is not often where I start for a card design, but as soon as I saw the sketch from The Paper Players, I knew just what I wanted to do.
One of my recent purchases from The Greetery was the Tile Style stamp set. It’s a beautiful set of tiles in two sizes. I used three of the larger ones for this card. The tiles were stamped and then die cut with one of the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Labels.
I embossed the blue panel with a Stampin’ Up embossing folder and added it to a white card base. I purchased the embossing folder several years ago from eBay, and never had the packaging so I don’t know what it’s called. The Thinking of You White Gold Foiled Greeting Tab from Memory Box worked perfectly for the sentiment. The gold foiling prompted me to use two gold hearts die cut from Simon Says Holiday Shapes. They were added with tiny pieces of dimensional tape.
It’s always good to have another encouragement card in the stash.
This is beautiful, Karen! The brilliant blue contrasted with the white makes me think of certain places in Greece, I love it. Your tiles are gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players!
Such a lovely card – the stamped tiles are gorgeous. The shades of blue are perfect.
Well, you just can’t beat classic blue and white, especially in the form of such lovely tiles. It was indeed a perfect way to use the sketch. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players.
Those ties remind me of Delft ware – such a classic and elegant colour combo and just perfect for the sketch. Love the embossed background detail too. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Quite unusual, and very realistic tiles. There is a real Mediterranean vibe to them!
Looking at the tiles, one would think they are from real porcelain! How gorgeous, Karen, and they work so beautifully for this sketch. The mystery ef is a good one; I like the look of the vertical embossed stripes. So happy to see your card in the PP gallery, thanks for playing along with us this week!
I love these tiles, reminds me of Dutch tiles, so clean and pretty! The background is perfect, as are your little embellishments! Just lovely! Thanks for playing with our sketch challenge at the Players this week!
