This week’s challenge is #GPD317 and it is a colour challenge. Of all the GDP challenge categories, the colour challenge is definitely my favourite.
I love this colour combination! What do you think?
For my card, I decided to use the new Blessings of Home Stamp Set. This stamp set, with coordinating dies and Designer Series Paper was an early release bundle demonstrators were able to purchase for our 2021 OnStage @ Home event that was held from 11 – 13 November.
I decided to use a Misty Moonlight card base with a Basic White layer. Before securing the white layer, I wrapped a length of Mint Macaron Soft Velvet Ribbon and used Tear & Tape to fix it into place.
Then I cut a piece each of Blushing Bride and Misty Moonlight using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. These two die cut pieces were then given some texture using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals behind each embossed shape and positioned evenly above and below the ribbon.
I am so pleased with the way the embossed card and velvet ribbon combine to provide different textures to the card.
The floral image was stamped using Jet Black StazOn (not the Memento I mistakenly used in my product photo). Then I used my Water Painter to colour it. I decided to fussy cut, rather than die cut, the flower before popping it up onto a die cut piece of Mint Macaron card. This piece was then positioned over the other two embossed pieces.
The sentiment, from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set, was stamped in Mint Macaron and cut using the same Tasteful Labels Dies. Each end of the ‘Thank You’ label was trimmed and then positioned where you can see it.
When the water coloured image was dry, I painted Clear Wink of Stella across the flowers to add some shimmer.
I partially stamped the same floral image on the card insert and the envelope – there’s no surprise there. If you have seen any of my posts before, you will know that I never leave the inside of a card or an envelope undecorated.
I almost always add some embellishments to the front of my cards as my final step. This time I coloured some Clear Epoxy Essentials with the Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend.
During the OnStage @ Home event, we used the large floral image and I am looking forward to making more projects with this gorgeous set.
I’m so pleased with this card – lots of white space, layering and overlapping elements and such a great colour combination to use.
What do you think?
Until next time, happy stamping.
