Papertrey Ink Throwback Thursday - featuring Round Repeats!

Hi there crafty peeps! It's time again for Papertrey Ink's Throwback Thursday! It's when the design team features older stamps and dies and gives them new ideas and flair! Today's Throwback Thursday features the awesome stamp set called Round Repeats. It's a bunch of beautiful design elements that you mix and match to make beautiful motifs and patterns. The possibilities are endless with this one! You can use lots of elements or just one, several colors, or just a few. Really your creativity can go wild! The completed designs are so elegant and classy. I chose to use on of my favorite color palettes of grey and yellow for my card today.

I started with an A2 card base in Smokey Shadow cardstock. I lightly penciled in lines where my center paper would go and then inked the background stamps directly onto the card base. I used Versamark Ink for a beautiful tonal grey color. I think it looks so good - and it was so easy! For the center part, I cut a strip of white paper and then a slightly larger strip of yellow paper to layer together. I stamped the medallion in the middle first (in Bright Buttercup Ink) and then stamped the other two off to the side.  

 

I used one of the smaller stamps to add a center medallion in rich black ink. Then added a pearl to it. I die cut the Noted Die out of black paper so it would stand out against the other colors. 

 

 

 

This is a good card design if you have to make a lot of cards that are easy to mail. This card could be totally flat if you leave off the pearls.

Yellow and black stunning combo. I would take a chance on the mailing, pearls are perfect! Have a great weekend.
