Freshly Borrowed

Oh wow, check out the different sized card base at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #176!  Eek!  Can I do this?
OK, we'll skip right over how many times my resolve wavered and I started to do a regular landscape card.  I persevered!  I don't know how I'll store this giant card, but I did it!  I envisioned a nice fancy wedding card, that I could use the beautiful Something Borrowed DSP for.  This let me stick to just one ink color, too, so I knew I needed to really pull out the stops for my decorative border.  That definitely took the most tinkering.  In the end I went with this stamped border from Bordering Blooms, and hand-trimmed to give some visual interest.  Whew.
PS.  Yes, I made my own envelope for this one, and yes, I used the envelope punch board.  It took me a while to find the measurements I needed, so I figure I'll just note them for you!  Start with a 10 1/2" square, and your punch/score line is 3 3/8".  You have to flip and rotate the square a bit out of order so that you can make the long score line - it runs off the board, lol.  But it totally works!  You also have to trim the flaps a bit too, so there's no overlap.  Good luck!
