Earthen Textures Meets Countryside Inn for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights



Hello and welcome to my blog. I've made this beautiful thank you card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights. I'm asking you to please vote for my card so I can participate in her Top 10 Blog Hop! CLICK HERE TO VOTE! Look for entry #7. Just click on the heart in the upper right-hand corner. It will turn red when you have voted.

The card I'm featuring today is an easel card made with the awesome Earthen Textures Dies and the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. The above picture is the view when it is taken out of the envelope. The below pictures show it in its easel form.


The card base is a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Night of Navy cardstock scored at 5 1/2" and 2 3/4". The 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White is embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.


Below are all the pieces I cut using the Earthen Textures Dies and the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. Boho Blue was used for the large palm, the sticks, and the smaller palm. Another palm and stick were cut from Night of Navy. Distressed Gold Specialty paper was used for the leaves and pod and punched with the Bough punch.


Below are closeups of each vase.






The thank you from Go to Greetings was stamped on Basic White in Night of Navy and cut with a die from the Something Fancy Dies set. The bordering base was cut with a die from the same set out of Boho Blue cardstock. This was mounted on dimensionals.




I decided to see how the card front would look in a 4" x 6" frame. Below is the results and I love it! What do you think?
