My card base is 5.5" by 4" and the stamped piece is 2" x 4.25". By trimming that quarter inch off the width of the card base, but leaving the stamped piece 4.25" you still end up with a card that will still fit inside a standard A2 envelope even though part of the piece is "over the edge". The stamps are from Penny Black. I did have to use one other color since my flower has a stem, but hopefully that is okay with Chrissie! The image was colored with Copic markers, trimmed out and adhered using foam dimensionals. A few orange pearls were added to bring in more orange.
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; SU! Cherry Cobbler; Stamps: Penny Black; Ink: SU! Cherry Cobbler; Memento Tuxedo Black; Copic Markers (YR02, YR04, YR07 & YG21); Hero Arts orange pearls

ah this is such a clean, crisp look! Just love it!
Oh I love this Rosemary! Adore that beautiful sentiment!
Hello Rosie
This sentiment holds it's own so well on this card, most would have chosen a white card and used the colours in the image, by choosing the provocative red as the main BG you are shouting out your message.
It is lovely.

Lovely neat & crisp card.... I love the orange giving the creation an extra edge... :D

This is another masterpiece!
What a good idea to trim down the card base so as to still fit in the envelope. SO many cards in blogland have no hope of ever being mailed in a regular envelope because of all the extraneous bits and bobs everywhere.
This is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks so much Rosemary.

Stunning card, very elegant. Tracey x
So stylish, love the shape of the card. Thanks for the tip about cutting the main card down, I normally do square cards but will give this a go.
Lovely card and sentiment

So pretty!
Wow--would not be a color combo I'd choose, but this is spectacular! Love how you always put the elements together just right, Rosemary!
Love it Rosemary. I really like the dark base and the minimal white as the backdrop for the sentiment and the flower. Almost like a tag but much more elegant.
