Hello Dutch Girl
I’m just playing around some more with the one Lizzie Anne Designs set I own. It has such a darling fresh look I just had to pair it up my Dutch Girl paper from Crate Paper. I love how the flower images seem to have the same design as the flowers in the paper. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my other sets. We’ve had some postal difficulties and they seem to be lost in transit! Yikes! Every morning at 10:30 for that past two weeks, I’m anxiously awaiting the post!
Hello Dutch Girl
For this card, I decided to give a smaller size of a square design a whirl for a chance. This card is 4.25″ square, just 1 ” smaller than my normal but it fits perfectly for cutting two square cards from one sheet of cardstock instead of only one! I started off with my Whisper White cardstock base and then layered on the blue floral Dutch Girl Paper. I needed to lived it up so I added a scalloped edge piece of red Dutch girl paper under the edge of the blue. I then added a layer of red to the main central image.
I actually did the image last for this card design. I cut a square piece of white cardstock leaving lots of room for a border with the red. I then inked up my flower stamp…my favorite one of the set….with SU markers in Rose Red, Brocade Blue and Certainly Celery. I once again used first, second and third impressions to overlap the images and give to variety. To pick up the design of the stitching in the flower stems, i added some paper pierced holes along the scalloped edge layer and around the right side of the design.
To finish it off, I tied a celery and white striped ribbon around the image layer of the design and added a tiny safety pin from Creative Impressions for interest. My last step was to pull out another tiny flower from the set and stamp it at the bottom right hand corner. Dutch Girl paper and striped ribbon were purchased from Jacksonbelle.

Wow! It’s almost like the stamp was made to match the paper. Love how bright and cheery this card feels. After the gloomy and rainy day in CO, this is a little ray of sunshine! All you Dirty Girls (both present and former) are bad for the pocketbook!
