Colored Card Base
I found a stash of pre-cut colored card bases in my stash and decided to use them. This is a certainly celery base with wasabi mat. The pearls totally make this card for me.
I completely ruined several colored bases with egregious ugliness before coming up with this, proving that I'm really more of a one-layer gal. But this one isn't a complete waste of card stock! *wink*
Don't forget to check Jennifer's blog late on Wednesday for this week's OLW. I'm so looking forward to getting back to one layer!!!
Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts (all discontinued)
ink: Versacolor green tea
paper: SU celery, wasabi; PTI white
accessories: corner chomper, half pearls, dimensionals

The various shades of green are great together.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Susan! This is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS! LOVE the greens--and I LOVE the pearls! :)
ReplyDeleteI loooooooove, looooooove, loooooove green and flowers so this card has my name written all over it! Fabulously done and you are right, the pearls make it :) Great card!
ReplyDeleteWhen I opened my reader and saw the card, I thought, "Whoa! This is not like Susan." I love the greens together. Certainly Celery has always been a favorite.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card except that the stamps are discontinued - very annoying. But beautiful to look at.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card-love the greens!
ReplyDeleteFab. U. Lous.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are a work of art! I always look forward to see what you come up with next - you are an inspiration --- love, love, love the simple look.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove the greens! It's so funny - I'm the exact opposite - I make a one layer card and then I HAVE to cut it and layer it on a coloured base so that it has a frame. This one is perfect and exactly my style!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty card. I hope your water problems have been solved.
ReplyDeleteJust love green and white especially the olive shade of green, pretty card xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Susan! I love the pearls too.
ReplyDeleteThis idea makes for a GREAT St. Patty's Day card as well! Thanks for the inspiration as always, Susan!
ReplyDeleteLove this card! The green combinations go together so well, and that HA stamp is lovely. It always surprises me how just trimming half of the corners streamlines a card so much. Thanks for using colored CS --- I think we all have too much of it and are glad for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty! I love the shades of green.
ReplyDeleteI agree - the pearls make the card! We are all so different - I find one layer cards such a challenge (though I keep on trying!). It would be so much easier for me to create a card like the one you posted today than to create your one layer perfection!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this card Susan especially the pearls:)
