Cute Modern Garden Diagonal Front Card

Welcome to another blog hop with the All Star Design Team! This month we are featuring the Garden Walk Suite, which includes the Modern Garden Bundle.

I recently received a card from Sara Douglass, the CEO of Stampin’ Up!. Her personal style is clean and simple, and I liked the concept of the card. So I’ve taken that idea and expanded on it a bit to create today’s share with the Modern Garden images.

This design is one of those cards where it’s most efficient to make two at a time, swapping the papers around to get pleasing combinations.

I don’t normally like diagonals, but this little corner detail is quite nice.

You could make the flowers the more prominent print, but for this sample, I stamped a few of the similar images in the same colors as the print and brought them through.

And here’s a little detail I really enjoyed: I found the Wild Wheat ribbon a little too “heavy” for this particular design, so I pulled out the weft thread to leave the remaining threads loose. I used all of them, but you could even just use some of them to a lighter effect.

For this sample, I made the card front, but was struggling to make it work, so just finished it off with some words and ribbon. As you can see, the diagonal cut is in a different place for versatility.

In hindsight, I would have made the flowers the larger portion of the card if I wasn’t going to stamp flowers as well.

And the same goes for this card, but I still quite like it. Mostly I just wanted to use the card fronts I had already made, plus show how the diagonal can go in any place on the card and still work well.
