Rick Adkins : perfectly plaid

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you this weeks color inspiration. Every other week I have been sharing color inspiration with you, and where to find your color inspiration. This week I pulled color inspiration from the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper. Looking at the colors in any pack of designer series paper makes finding colors that work together super easy. Here's a look at my card for today.

I started designing my card by pulling out the colors I wanted to use. I went with Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Gold, all of which came from the designer series paper. Once I picked the pattern I wanted to use I cut my cardstock. For my cardbase I picked a piece of Cherry Cobbler cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I added my designer series paper to the front of the card. I then stamped three of the pine trees and used the matching punch to punch them out.

I added some of the Shaded Spruce/gold stripped ribbon to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment to a piece of whisper white and cut it out using the stitched rectangle dies. To finish off the card I added a bow made out of the same ribbon.

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you are finding this bi-weekly series helpful. If you need any of the supplies I used to create my card today you can picked them up in the online store.

Happy Stampin'
