Modern Happiness

I can’t say it enough–I LOVE this Urban Oasis DSP. Even though this particular pattern is rather subtle, it’s simultaneously very striking and graphic.

The card base is Going Gray cardstock, layered with the chevron print Urban Oasis DSP. This flower is from Pick a Petal stamp set. I stamped it in Black on a 3″x4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the center first, then stamped the petals in clock formation to ensure they were evenly spaced. Start at 12 o’clock, 3, 6, and so on. I watercolored the petals with Baja Breeze and the watercolor pen. In the center of the flower, I used the cropadile to punch a hole and put in a large Kiwi Kiss Corduroy brad.

Next, I adhered the white layer to a piece of Baja Breeze card stock and wrapped some black velvet ribbon around it. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Originals Valet collection. Finally, I added a sentiment from Warm Words, stamped in black just above the ribbon. The Baja Breeze layer is adhered to the base with dimensionals.
