Vintage Meets Romance Blog Post from Pink Paper Bakery:
Vintage style DSP from the Sale-A-Bration catalog makes this card soft and inviting.  The Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade colors were pulled from the colors in the Everyday Enchantment DSP making it easy to chose the color combinations.  Needing to add something new and unique to a basic card layout, I chose the bracket edge from the new Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies.  I love how subtle this card's edge looks on the Crumb Cake cardstock.  If you want to create this card or one similar to it, check out the directions below.
Unique card edge created using Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies
Directions:
1. Cut a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base out of Crumb Cake card stock (#120953)
2. Score your card at 4 1/4"
3. Use the bracket edge from the new Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies #125595 (available on January 4th) and cut design on card base with the Sizzix Big Shot
4. Add a 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" DSP layer to the card base using the new SAB Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (#126154) available on January 24th
5. Add a 3" x 3 3/4" Calypso Coral card stock (#122925) layer onto the DSP layer using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) to pop up your image and give it dimension
6. Cut a 2 7/8" x 3 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla card stock (#101650)
7. Stamp the flower image from the Bordering on Romance stamp set (#125480 WM or #125482 CM) using Black Staz On ink (#101406) on the Very Vanilla card stock
