I don't think I've ever done one of their challenges before, but I decided to use the above sketch from the Simon Says Stamp challenge. For the stripe at the top and bottom, I used a piece of vellum, and for the scalloped edge I used a row of buttons (something I had seen a few times on Britta's blog)
The sentiment is from one of my favorite SP and Co sets, Mini Card Creations II.
I printed the text background on the card, and wish I had made it a bit lighter (more like a watermark)...it's a little bold for my taste which to me makes the card look busy- but I still really like how it came out!

Oh, Jen. You steal my crafty heart with cards like these. Negative die cut, scalloped buttons, text. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteLove the negative image and row of buttons tucked behind the panel. The pop of color against the neutral background is fab!
ReplyDeleteI love every bit of this card! And I think the text looks fantastic behind the image.
ReplyDeleteLove this, the button border, the vellum, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the text is too bold at all - I love it! That negative image is gorgeous and the pops of colour rock!
ReplyDeleteFabby card, Jen! I adore the peeking buttons and negative die cut :)

Great card, I don't think the text is too dark personally, I like it.
ReplyDeleteLove the text and the negative die cut. Printing the text on gray was a really clever move, which really helps it read a little less busy than you think.
ReplyDeleteLOVE everything about this...this card really pops! I don't think it's too dark, I really love the way this looks. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! The neg space and the green buttons are such a cool contrast. Great card!
