Card Zen by Jen : Reflected in Nature

This Reflected in Nature monochromatic card is my contribution to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights and my team member appreciation card for December.

I would be honored if you would take a second to vote for my card. The top 10 will get to participate in the Winner's Circle and I so want to be there!!!

As we near the end of the July-Dec 2021 catalog, I am drawn to some of the overlooked stampsets that will be retiring such as Reflected in Nature and Well-Defined. And sadder yet, the designer series paper "Peaceful Place" will also retire. Have you seen it? Absolutely beautiful, and it can be paired with any colors, or keep it monochromatic, like this.

Items needed:

Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Basic White
Peaceful Place DSP
Stampsets: Well-Defined, Reflected in Nature
Ink: Smoky Slate, Tuxedo Black Memento
Glittered Organdy Ribbon

Directions:

~Cut the Smoky Slate cs to 4¼" x 5½" for the base. Cut another piece 3¼" x 8' for the easel, scored at 4" and 6".

~Cut two pieces of the DSP to 4" x 1½". Adhere to the base as shown. Then adhere the Smoky Slate cs centered to the base so that it will act as an easel.

~Stamp the reflected cabin scene in Smoky Slate on a piece of Basic White, then fussy cut around the image. Adhere it to the Basic Black cs (cut to 3¼" x 3⅛"). Center it on the folded Smoky Slate piece. ADHERE ONLY BELOW THE FOLD.

~Wrap the ribbon and tie a bow.

~Stamp your sentiment from "Well-Defined" onto Basic White cs, then die cut it using the smaller label die from the "Seasonal Labels Dies."

~Adhere the label to the inside of the card with dimensionals, just high enough to not be seen when you close the card.

Join my team before the end of December and you will get this card from me!

Don't forget to get these stamps and paper before they are gone - which is January 3rd or when they are sold out, whichever comes first. If you order through me using my current Host Code (shown on the right of this screen), you will get my customer appreciation card for December!
