Today’s color challenge
Today’s color combo for the challenge at Splitcoaststampers was: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Old Olive. I knew I had to use some of our gorgeous, retired Playhouse designer paper. I love this paper.
After washing the floors, vaccuming, dusting, going to the bank, the post office, getting hair cuts for the boys and doing the grocery shopping…I finally got to stamp this afternoon.
Brace yourselves! There is not one tiny speck of Chocolate Chip on this card!
I started out with a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Old Olive cardstock. I stamped the background stamp of Oh, So Lovely all over the card front and sponged the edges of the card.
I cut a 1 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ dotted piece of the recently retired Playhouse Designer paper, added a strip of scalloped shimmery white over it and tied a green ribbon from the Fairytale Original Ribbon collection aaround it. Then I taped it to the front of the card.
For the center panel I stamped the swirls from Priceless all over a piece of shimmery white paper in Pretty ink Pink, I stamped a butterfly with Regal Rose and the saying with Old Olive. Next I stamped another butterfly in Regal Rose, cut it out and adhered it to the stamped butterfly. I sponged the edges of the panel with Pretty ink Pink ink and outlined the butterfly with 2 Way Glue and added Dazzling Diamond Glitter over it.
All the corners of the center image were rounded with the new corner rounder. Same goes for the next layer of Regal Rose Cardstock that was sponged with Regal Rose ink,
I used the corner rounder on a piece of scrap Old Olive cardstock and then punched out a small photo corner with the Photo corner punch. I stamped the background of the Oh So Lovely set over that piece as well and sponged the edges. I added five Pretty in pink brads on the photo corner.
Last I punched out a Pretty in Pink Round tab with the Round Tab punch. I stamped the same background in Pretty in pink, sponged and faux stitched the edges. I stamped the circle from Priceless on a scrap of Shimmery white paper and added You’re from Amazing to Zany in the center. Next I stamped the tiny flower from Priceless in Regal Rose on Shimmery white, cut it out and fastened it to the circle and the tab with an Old Olive Brad. I added some glitter on the outside of the circle as well as on the inside of the S from So Kind.
I made another card that I really like. But that’s the sample for next weekend’s sketch challenge and it will be my Saturday morning post. I have to work ahead. We are leaving for San Antonio in two days and I want to leave you with at least one post a day from me. I can’t abandon my blog for vacation. LOL
Have a great evening. Hugs and smiles
