Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is a Color Challenge. Using Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow, the Design Team has created some great projects that you will all want to see. We hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Card challenges are a perfect way to get inspiration. And a color challenge is great and just means finding a stamp set that works.. Or to compare the colors to see which Designer Series Paper might have the colors. This is a challenge I enjoy. Then I went very simple in the end! LOL!!
My card is a case of one I saw on Pinterest. My focal point is the leaf as well as the frame it is stamped inside of an on top of.
Layout
My frame was made using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The largest of the squares was used. After cutting the shape, I layered the same size paper underneath and then stamped. After debating on using dimensionals between the two layers when finishing, I chose not to. Now seeing the photograph, it might have shown up better with more depth. But you can see the stitching around the edges and where the leaf is stamped on the top layer at the bottom, right, and top of the image.
Stamping
The leaf used is from the Soft Seedling stamp set. It was inked all over with Calypso Coral Ink pad and then with Stampin’ Write Markers I added Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, and Mango Melody. After stamping, I went back and made a few touches with the various markers to smooth things out. Note: Our Stampin’ Write Markers are only available in a color family, with the exception of Basic Black. So these are not listed in my supply list as they each are from a different color family.
The sentiment is from the Ringed With Nature stamp set. This card really needed a small sentiment, or a vertical one. Instead I opted for this one and my favorite Double Oval Punch. So to finish off, I added the Champagne Rhinestones in three different sizes.
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 November 9th when the theme will be Home for the Holidays.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
