Center Step Greeting Chimes

Hi there!

I wanted to try out a new technique I found on SCS called "Center Step Card". I decided to use the "Greeting Chimes" stamp again because of the shape of the image. In case you missed my other post, this is a new stamp from Elphine House Australia by Elisabeth Bell. (This is available at their website now along with a few other cuties, just click the purple link on my sidebar!) This image is SO cute!

Here is the card from the left side.

Here's a view from the right side.

I even decorated the inside of the card.

I adjusted the size of the card to be a little wider to make it fit the image better. If you would like to try out this technique, you can find the instructions here on Split Coast Stampers. It looks harder than it is, it's actually fairly simple to make.

In addition to using "Greeting Chimes" (Elphine House Australia), I used Teeny Tiny Wishes and Yummy (Stampin Up). The papers I used are soft suede, baja breeze, not quite navy, manchester DSP (SU), linen closet (DCWV), natural white (Neenah). Ink used is dark chocolate (Palette), soft suede (SU) and wheat (VersaMagic). I used my Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits to color the image and accented with markers a little. If you would like any additional details, I posted this in my SCS Gallery which you can see here.

Hope I inspired someone to try something new! Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings!
