"Bright Side" paper: Lawn Fawn Inspiration week

Hey there, everyone!  So, weren't the samples for Gnome Sweet Gnome the cutest?!!  I loved how different all of our cards were...and I think we used up every single image and sentiment in the set for you all to see!  And didn't the set just go perfectly with how fun and bright the new Lawn Fawn papers are?  Loving it!

Today we are showcasing the Bright Side papers again!  Because it is a completely new product line for Lawn Fawn, we want to make sure you get plenty of inspiration for it!  So that when you get these new papers in your hands you will be so excited to use them!  I wanted to show how these papers can be used for a sophisticated and elegant card today...because while they are super cute for the most part, there are some patterns & colors that are sleek and sophisticated.  Like the grey chevron prints, which are so trendy in everything right now... and you would never know that there is a super cute flower print on the purple paper when folded into an accordion shape.  They paired perfectly with this clean and graphic sentiment as well.  Here is what I created!

  "Many Thanks" supplies: 

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (silver shimmer)

Paper/Twine: Lawn Fawn (Bright Side: glass half full, silver lining, 6x6 pad)

Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Many Thanks set)

Ink: Tsukineko (Momento Dye: london fog)

Ribbon: Renaissance by Design

Buttons: Basic Grey & SEI

Flower: Prima Marketing

Jewels: Doodlebug Designs

Border Punch: Martha Stewart Crafts (Scallop 3 Dot)

Instructions:  Make card from shimmery silver cardstock.  Cut large chevron paper slightly smaller and adhere to the front.  Cut a banner edge to a strip of small chevron paper, and adhere to the left side.  Punch a scalloped border to purple patterned paper, then cut a 1-inch strip.  Scor the paper every half inch, fold back in forth in an accordion.  Adhere each end together, fold in to make the flower shape, then adhere to a square of cardstock.  Repeat the accordion fold with a smaller strip of chevron printed paper.  Thread two buttons with twine, then adhere to the top of each accordion flower.  Tie a bow from green dotted ribbon, then layer the accordion flowers, the fabric flower and the ribbon to the front of the card.  Stamp the sentiment to a thin strip of white paper, cut banners on both edges and adhere to the bottom.  Accent the background banner with three jewels to finish.
