I was perusing my new Stamp It! magazine late, late last night and found a card perfectly suited to the new Doodle sets in the Spring Mini catalog. Here's what I came up with:

I never (really, never!) use Whisper White alone as a card base... it just doesn't have enough heft to it... but for this card, I wanted the stark white that only Whisper White would offer. Confetti White has all those flecks in it, which just didn't seem to match with the style I wanted for this card. I thought of using Naturals White... but, well, you know that organizational project I began not too long ago? I haven't done much organizing in recent days, and just can't find that pack of card stock. I do want to try this card with the Naturals White, though.
I first stamped the phrase with Doodle Alphabet on a 2-1/2 x 3-1/4 piece of Spring Flowers Designer Series Double-Sided Paper using Cameo Coral and Chocolate Chip Classic ink. I then inked the edges first with Cameo Coral then with Chocolate Chip. Then I stamped the large corner flourish from the Doodle This set on my Whisper White card in Chocolate Chip. I adhered the Spring Flowers layer onto the White card with my SNAIL and stamped the small flower from Doodle This over both layers. I inked the edges of the White card the same way I did the Spring Flowers with both Cameo Coral and Chocolate Chip. I decided it just wasn't quite finished, so I punched a hole in the Whisper White card just to the back of the fold and tied a length of the Chocolate stitched ribbon from the Seaside Ribbon Originals around the card. The ribbon anchors the Spring Flowers layer visually. Last, I colored in the flowers with my Cameo Coral Stampin' Write marker.
I really like the way this card turned out! I hope you enjoy it, too.
