Inventory Reduction Challenge #83 - Printed Sentiment Only on Front

Hello and welcome to our Inventory Reduction Challenge #83 - use only a printed sentiment on the card front.  Hmmm???  Sounds easy enough - NOT! I also want to welcome Danielle back after missing last week.  We missed you girlfriend!

I have a large text stamp that I spent two days looking for.  I don't loan my stamps, so it is here in my Stamp Mansion mess somewhere.  But I couldn't find it. 

I had a card I had made a couple years ago that had the sentiment on it, so I typed it up in a fancy font on my computer.  The original stamp had a lot of swirly letters and was difficult to read.  This is much easier to read.

I printed the sentiment by Helen Keller on vellum. The edge punch is Martha Stewart Doily Lace.  The designer paper is Stampin Up! Le Jardin.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls from my stash.

The inside has more papers from the Le Jardin collection.  The striped ribbon is from my stash.  The colors are perfect with the papers.  The jotting panel was cut with Nestabilities Deckled Rectangles.  The flowers are smaller roses to match the larger ones on the card front.

I am especially pleased with the front as it turned out exactly as I  had pictured it in my mind - a very rare occurrence!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be sure to visit my team mates' blogs to see how they interpreted the challenge.
