Avery Elle - Sunset Thank You

It's time for another Stamp Trio Challenge! This time, I will be using Avery Elle's newly released set Many Thanks. As last time, I will make 3 different cards using one stamp set.

For this first card, I wanted to go with golden/sunny tones, and some great contrast.

I started by creating my base from Avery Elle's Fog heavy cardstock. Since I wanted a top-folding card, I cut the sheet of cardstock in half to measure 4 1/4 by 11". I then scored it at 5 1/2", to create a standard A2-sized card. I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4 to create a front panel.

I started with the sentiment from the Many Thanks set and stamped it in Fog pigment ink (which matches the base cardstock) just a bit lower than the middle of the panel. Although fog is a gray ink, it actually has a warm, yellow undertone - which makes it a great match for the golden colors I wanted to use on the rest of the cardstock.

I pulled one of the sketchy circles stamps from Many thanks, and stamped it around the top of the panel using yellow, orange and pink pigment ink. I didn't use any particular pattern, I just stamped where there seemed to be some of empty space.

After letting the panel dry, I grabbed a piece of Avery Elle Fizz grosgrain ribbon. This ribbon matches the orange I used for the sketchy circles and it's a middle color that contrasts well with the fog ink. I adhered the ribbon to the bottom of the white panel, then adhered the panel to the card front with foam squares.

Lastly, I added two white enamel dots to the left corner of the card to add a bit more interest. I considered using gray enamel dots, but I didn't have any that matched the warm gray of fog pigment ink.
