While I was very lucky to get this set at On Stage, I have to admit I was in a bit of a conundrum as to what to do with it. I don’t usually choose the really detailed dies. But I had signed up for a swap and I had to figure out a design with this set! And I loved the Congratulations sentiment in the stamp, so that was my inspiration.
I started with Blushing Bride on the design, but I just wasn’t “feeling it”. Somehow, I decided a “purple and turqoise” color combo would be an interesting look with a die this detailed. After a couple of experiments, I ended up with the Sky Blue and Sweet Sugarplum combination you see because it picked up all the colors in the DSP.
Since the So Detailed thinly dies really speak “dainty”, this color combination along with butterflies seem to work the best. I love, love love the Ballin In Love DSP in this suite and the butterfly design stood out as working well with the lacy design in the die cutout. The actual butterflies were an afterthought, But I like how they added a playful look to the card. A nice bow and some pearls and you have a very dainty, pretty card for all sorts of celebrations!
