Hello! Thank you for popping by to see my latest project share.
This time last week I didn’t think that I would up to making a card for this challenge. I went into hospital on Monday for a knee replacement and came home on Thursday. Fortunately, I felt well enough this morning to make a card.
This week’s challenge is a colour challenge. The combination is Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz. How fun is this color combination?! There are so many ways to be creative with Stampin’ Up! challenge.
If you pop over to Global Design Project website you will be able to see the gorgeous projects the design team made to insire us – just click on the colour combination image above to be taken to the right place!
For this card I was inspired by Patty Bennetts, from Patty Stamps, to use my Blending Brushes to colour a strip of card stock.
To achieve the coloured strip, I laid down Post-It Cover-up Tape using the Grid Paper to ensure I had a parallel space to colour. I used three Blending Brushes and started with Pale Papaya at the top and moving down the card front blended in Pear Pizzazz and then Balmy Blue. The ink was given some time to dry before the Post-It strips were removed.
Then I added colour, from the coordinating Stampin’ Write Markers™, directly onto the selected floral Shaded Summer Stamps. These were then cut using the FREE Sale-a-bration Summer Shadows Dies. To ensure I had strong colour coverage I used my Stamparatus so that I could apply more colour as needed.
I added a swoosh of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon to the card front before placing the die cut flower stems over the colour blended strip. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to layer up these stems. I stamped and fussy cut additional flowers to pop up over some of the flowers to ensure the card front had height and dimension. I also gave each of the flowers a swipe of Clear Wink of Stella.
The birthday greeting is from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set and was cut using one of the new Seasonal Labels Dies. The stem of leaves was stamped inside the card and onto the envelope.
And, of course, the final step was to add some 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels.
I enjoy including a photograph of many of the products I have used to make the card. There are many items that I do not include, yet – cardstock, Designer Series Paper, adhesives. envelopes and paper cutting and some other equipment.
Who would you send this birthday card to?
Until next time, happy stamping.
