Ok, so as much as I adore my Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper, it's time to shift gears a bit - so I dug out my Urban Oasis DSP and Central Park Stamp Set. I checked out the Mojo Monday sketch for yesterday and this card came together pretty quickly. The leaves on the sides were embossed with Black Craft Ink and Clear Embossing Powder. The center image I had originally stamped in Black Stazon, but it didn't show up "black enough" kwim? I lost some of the detail from the stamp by going with the craft ink/embossing, but I gained a better color to my image-and I was more interested in a nicer silhouette, anyway.
Heh heh...LOTS of Stampin' Dimensionals later, a little paper piercing with my Crafter's Tool Kit and some amazing Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon and I LOVE how it turned out! The main image was punched out with the 1 3/4" punch and framed with the same punch used twice on Kiwi Kiss and layered underneath.

Very pretty, Beth. And a very nice switch from the Walk in the Park (as I know you were sick of looking at it, for now). I should really start using some of the DSP I own, so I can justfy ordering more during the sale.
HUGS!

i Beth, what a nice card and the swirl on the black makes it a nice man card as well! Not to frilly you know?! Anyway I wanted to say how much I love the theme of your banner and blog layout. It is so soothing to be here! Have a great day~Donna
Hi Elizabeth,
Central Park is not usually my thing but you made this really work. I had a double take moment though when I first saw the card. I thought the central (no pun intended) image was the Flowers in Silhouette from the under $10 page in the catalog. I went to compare it with the Central Park and lo and behold discovered they were the same image minus the dotted stripes in the rubber! So I guess I was liking Central Park all along and didn't even know it!
Thanks for bringing me to that discovery!
Hugs and blessings - Jean
Beautiful card! I love the DSP!
Great card! I like your take on the two side panels for this sketch.
I just found a pack of this paper and needed some ideas so I thank you for sharing this wonderful card! Divine!
What a beautiful card! I love how you cut out the leaves and all the layering.
