Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Cute Critters. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I am not sure that my crane is actually a cute critter. However, I see them at the park where I walk and have to stop and admire their grace and beauty.
Stamps
This is such a simple card that I actually only used one stamp from the Crane of Fortune stamp set on the front of the card. To allow the Crane to shine the one stamp, the paper, and the embellishments are all that I used here. The crane was stamped using Gray Granite Ink. Where I walk there are a couple of ponds and there are a couple of cranes as well. One is white and one is a very light gray. At least those are the colors I see. There could be multiples of each one. Enjoying their beauty enhances the walk.
Paper
The gorgeous DSP used is from the Symbol of Fortune Designer Series Paper. One side of the paper has gold foil highlights and the other side is beautiful pieces like the one I chose to highlight. This piece reminds me of elegant wallpaper. The Stampin’ Up! artists are amazing! Additionally, all of the colors were pulled from the piece of DSP. They are Crumb Cake, Soft Succulent, and Calypso Coral.
Embellishments
In deciding on final highlights for the crane, I looked through a variety of embellishments. The one that continued to jump up was the Brushed Brass Butterflies. And there are butterflies in the DSP. For the final touch I used the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon. This is a beautiful and easy to work with ribbon.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 13th. Our theme will be Fabulous Flowers when our Design Team creates a project using any of the many beautiful flowers in our catalogs.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
