I used a lot of Very Vanilla and a little Gold along with the So Very Grateful stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share with you today.  My card design was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 216 and The Paper Players #192.

I started by adhering two strips of Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape to a Very Vanilla panel.  Then I adhered the panel to a panel of Gold Foil Sheets and to a Very Vanilla card base with SNAIL.

I cut a strip from the Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and I adhered it over a strip of Gold Foil Sheets with SNAIL.  I hid the SNAIL under the wide stripes so that it wouldn’t show on the front.  Then I punched the end with the Hexagon Punch to create the banner look and I adhered the banner to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the image from the So Very Grateful stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) in VersaMark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  Then I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink, using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement, and heat embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Gold Foil Sheets with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then adhered the layered panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I adhered a strip of Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape to a Very Vanilla panel inside the card.
