Hello! I have something a little different for you today. I few months ago, on this post, I mentioned I have a stamp about a roller coaster and that the scrapbook paper I used on my card would go perfect with it. Well, yesterday when I was looking through my various paper pads, I saw the paper again and thought I need to get that paper and stamp together for a card. This is the result! Enjoy!
I had a bit of deciding on what layout to go with. I just couldn't do a card with just the paper and the stamp ... boring! I really like how it turned out. But, I do want to note a couple of things about my card. My original idea started with a vertical card that would flip up when you open it. Normally, when I do a horizontal card, I cut the paper differently, so that it too will flip up. But, on today's card, it actually opens on the right! And, I pretty much had it all together before I decided it needed a purple layer, so I cut the actual fold over card slightly smaller and then I adhered it to a purple panel. This is something I used to do occasionally in a class when I had my store, but I had not thought to do it that way in a long time. Maybe you can see how it is in this pic of the inside.
The other thing I did differently than I ever do, is that, I thought my card was completely finished, but then I decided it would be a great addition to add the twine. Well, normally I would put it under the green panel, but because the embossing folder made it weak, and starting to tear, I had to wrap my twine around the inside of the card! Yikes, I hate that look ...
... but in the end, I decided the way it looked with the twine on the front was worth the way it looked on the inside! Aren't you glad I did the card for the great sentiment? Makes me laugh!

Paper - Echo Park Summer Days 6 x 6 pad, Cardstock White, Green, Purple
Stamps - Viva Las Vegas Stamps
Ink - Versafine Black

That's it for me today. I hope to be back with more for you tomorrow, but if not, I will see you on Saturday for the sketch share.
