SU LateNightStampers Challenge/One layer card WOW

Our Challenge this week at SU LateNightStampers is to create a card that is one layer but has a technique that give it a WOW! So I decided to use the new Holiday Frame Textured Impressions Folder along with some of the new Tulle Ribbon.  And, what really makes it pop is I also used the Brushed Gold Card stock which is a heavier card stock than our "everyday" card stock.  Really the only time I have used it is at Christmas and I do really like it a lot.

Here is a side view of the card!

So you can still see that I decorated the inside of the card.

And, here is the inside!

This new paper pack had a piece of Designer Paper that matched perfectly the brushed gold card stock.  Love it!

Using Designer Paper as the Focus!

Happy Monday all! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and your week has started out wonderful.  I thought I would share this card where all the stamping I did was the Sentiment at the top. I just love it when designer paper is pretty enough to make a card pretty.  But let me let you in on a secret, make sure you turn the paper correctly before putting it on the base of your card. LOL  Actually I did not notice it until I saw the photo.  I am still going to give this to someone for Christmas and hopefully they will not notice it is upside down! 

This card was inspired by this weeks sketch over at Unscripted Sketches.  I was looking for different smaller images to use and when I saw this designer paper, I thought that will work all on its own.

Here is a side view of the card!

And, the inside of the card!

Did better on the inside as the owls are all turned correctly and not upside down!
