Just Because

Hi friends! Happy Monday and Happy Labor Day if you’re in the States! I hope you’ve had a great long weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created this sweet ‘just because’ tower card for The Outlawz September Progressive/Freebie Challenge where Hetty Clare Art is our sponsor this month. We were gifted the super adorable digital image called The Little Ballerina to play with for this challenge, and I used a yellow and green color combo for this fun fold.

I printed the digital image on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, cut it with a My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics and colored it with alcohol markers. I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock and Lawn Fawn Spring Fling patterned papers. I adhered the layers together and then adhered them to the card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set and then added several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Brilliant Citrine Embellishment Mix to finish the card. I applied the gemstones with the Trinity Stamps Pick Up Stick which is amazing! ;)

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of CutCardStock Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock and Lawn Fawn Spring Fling patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment from the same Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set and layered the panel on the green cardstock.

And one more peek… folded flat for mailing. What an adorable image! And I really love this fold!
