Did you ever made origami paper cranes in school or read the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, by Eleanor Coerr? This stamp set reminds me of making the cranes after reading that very moving book. The stamp set is call Crane of Fortune. Both the stamp set and this gorgeous Designer Series Paper (DSP), called Symbols of Fortune, is from the Jan.- Jun. Mini Catalog. The Soft Succulent cardstock along with the Bright White mat just makes me feel so happy. Do colors ever do that to you? These pictures just do not do justice to these beautiful colors together.
This was a super easy card to make, although it might look difficult. There are three 1" squares of the DSP and one 4" x 1" strip of DSP that have been matted with Soft Succulent cardstock. (See the measurements below.) The sentiment was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink, while the crane and dragonflies were stamped using the Soft Succulent ink. The crane is a Distinktive stamp which creates different opacities in just a single stamped image and show so much detail.
