In The Moment Card

Here's a card made using the Gentle Waves Stamp Set and the In The Moment Stamp Set.

Techniques Used

• Stamping
• Die Cutting
• Coloring with Stampin' Blends

In a previous post/video I created a portrait-oriented card using the Gentle Waves Stamp.  

When the stamped image was trimmed to fit this card, I was left with a strip that I incorporated in the card above by cutting it into two equal sized pieces.

The cardstock layers coordinate with the colors used on the stamped focal point image.  These colors were chosen by using the Color Coach for Balmy Blue.
