No, sorry, I didn’t take a trip to Italy to visit a Tuscan vineyard. And I’m not under a Tuscan sun, either. I am, however, fortunate to have a neighbor who keeps us supplied in red wine. And I’m not just talking about a teeny little bottle. No, I’m talking about a ginormous bottle:
Now THAT’S what I call a good neighbor, hahaha! She’s very sweet and we’ve been neighbors for probably about thirty years or so. Now mind you, my husband and I are the only two drinkers here, and that there bottle will probably last us till Christmas! Anyway, I want to share with you a card I made using the Tuscan Vineyard stamp set. Here’s my project:
This was a CASE of a card idea from last year. I stamped the large circle image first and then cut it down, because the stamp image is oval-shaped, and I just thought it took up too much of the card front. Here are the directions:
- Start with a standard A2 card base in Soft Suede (4¼” x 5½”)
- Cut a Very Vanilla card front, 4″ x 5¼”
- Using the So Saffron Classic ink randomly stamp all over the piece of Very Vanilla
- Cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock 2″ x 4½” and stamp the flourish in Crumb Cake ink at the top of the piece
- Then use the Just a Note sentiment from Flourishing Phrases and stamp it in Early Espresso on the bottom
- Stamp the vineyard scene in Elegant Eggplant onto a scrap of Very Vanilla
- Again using the Elegant Eggplant, but stamping off once, stamp the small toscana vigneto stamp on a scrap of Very Vanilla
- Use the layering circles to cut out the vineyard scene and then use a larger circle cut out of Soft Suede to mount behind it
- The small stamp fits the 1″ circle punch perfectly; adhere it to the card base with a Stampin’ Dimensional, layering it over the larger stamped circle
- The only embellishment you need is a Pearl Basic Jewel to stick onto the middle of the flourish
Now I’m off to crack open that gallon of Paisano, so while I’m otherwise occupied, go do something creative today! Hic!
