Hello
and welcome to my blog; today I am here to share with you my card for this week’s
Creative Challenge over at The Spot.
This week we have a fun little color challenge for you to play along
with. The card that I designed for this
week’s color challenge started out as a completely different card than what I ended
up with. I designed a different card to
use but the more I thought about my original card today the less I liked it. So, at the last minute I scrapped my card and
created a completely new one and I love what I came up with. Here is a look at my new card for this week’s
challenge.
On
my new card I started out by using my Stamparatus and stamped the floral image
from the Forever Blossoms Stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped it twice on the same sheet of Thick
Whisper White Cardstock by turning it around to the other side. I then took my Stampin’ Blends in Pool Party,
Magenta Madness, and Basic Black to do my coloring.
I
debated if I wanted to color each floral image the same way or change it up
slightly but ended up deciding that it would be better for my design if they
were colored the same. Once all my color
was complete, I put my stamped images back into my Stamparatus and stamped the images
again in Versamark Ink. I made sure to
leave my stamp in the same position as when I first stamped it so that it would
be easier to line everything back up.
Once
I had the images stamped again, I added some Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and
heat set them. One the melted powder had
cooled I took them out and used the matching dies to cut each image out. At this point I cut a piece of Basic Black Cardstock
to 4 x 5 ¼ and used the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder and embossed it. I then added this to a Magenta Madness layer
that was cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.
Next,
I stamped my sentiment in Versamark and used the same embossing powder and heat
set that. I used the Layering Circles
Dies to cut it and a scalloped circle from Pool Party Cardstock out. I layered them together and added them to the
front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I then added the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well around the sentiment. To finish off my card I added a few of the Gold
Metallic Pearls sprinkled around the card.
Here
is a look at the challenge image that inspired my color pallet today. I hope that you will take time and play along
with us this week over at The Spot. You
