Today I am joining Papertrey Ink with their make it Monday series, Above and Below. The idea is to have a centralized sentiment, which you then feature by placing images above and below it.
I wanted to use the older (and much loved by me) stamp set Boards and Beams, and I stamped and die cut a number of images.
When I went to arrange my card however, I realized my images were way too big for an A2 size card, so I had to do a much larger size. I ended up folding an 11 x8 1/2 in cardstock in half and using the entire thing to make my card.
I made this -
We are visiting my husband's sister and brother-in-law in June, so this card will come in very handy.
I was happy to have the opportunity to join and with this challenge for Papertrey Ink, and I look forward to joining into more of these Make it Monday challenges.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
All best -
Richard
It may be big, but it sure packs a punch Richard! I love your colors and the whole idea of using above and below houses...awesome card!! :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Richard - I've missed seeing your posts! The move explains a lot! This is a darling card - I'm glad you explained the size as I kept looking at it thinking "now how did he get all that detail on an A2 card?" LOL Very cool!
ReplyDeleteRichard, love seeing your take on challenges, and this is a perfect example! Oh so clever using Boards and Beams. And the size just adds to a striking layout. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFun idea to use houses above and below. Great colors too!
ReplyDeleteHey, good to hear from you! And, I love the card you made with the houses images and that sentiment. Great big and wonderful card design!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I like that tree in the top right corner so much? I hear Canada is really nice this time of year. Take me, take me.
