his is a simple card that started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base folded at 4 1/4" using Pool Party card stock. I added a 5 1/2" x 3" piece of designer series paper (DSP) centering on the card front. The DSP has a bit of added trim in basic black. The trim was made from using the dotted scallop ribbon border punch.
The focal image was stamped in real red onto very vanilla. It was punched out using a 2" circle punch. I added a 2 1/4" circle punch as a mat. I used dimensionals to attach to the card base.
The sentiment is stamped using staz on jet black on very vanilla. I added a quick pool party heart using itty bitty accents punch pack.
*As an added detail I rounded the end of the sentiment strip to match the curve of the circle. I adhered the sentiment over the heart and turned it over to carefully trim the excess following the shape of the circle using paper snips.
The inside was finished simply by repeating the DSP & trim except using a 1" strip of DSP. I positioned it on the lower inside portion of the card so there is still plenty of room for a personal note.
