The Stampin’ Up! Venetian Romance DSP’s coordinating colors are Crisp Cantaloupe, Island Indigo, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango, and Very Vanilla.  I chose to use Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock to highlight the Venetian Romance DSP design that I used on the left side of my inspirational card below.

This is my first time using Verve Stamps, and I especially like the inspirational Let It Be stamp set. The verse (the sentiment) for my card is from that stamp set.  I wish Stampin’ Up!’s inventory of stamp sets includes ones with Biblical verses.  

I used the Stampin’ Up! Apothecary Accents Framelits, the medium rectangle accent, for cutting the Very Vanilla Card Stock on which the sentiment rests.  I traced around the same framelit onto Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock and fussy cut it to create the sentiment’s mat.  I punched holes in the top left and right corners of the mat to insert ribbon through.  The ribbon used is the Everyday Enchantment Organdy Ribbon from this year’s Sale-a-Bration.  I colored with a permanent marker a Very Vintage Designer Button to top the ribbon and to give the appearance that the sentiment is hanging from the ribbon and button.

I embossed the front of the Pistachio Pudding card base with the Stampin’ Up Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder.  This embossing folder is one of Stampin’ Up!’s best embossing folders.
