Good evening, and welcome back! It's time to post my card for this week's Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. This week Karen chose the colors of Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron, and "dessert" is to use a die cut. Initially I thought this would be an easy combination but I have to admit that as I started to make my sample card, I struggled and ditched my first effort. But then I decided to use the this week's sketch challenge at Pal's Paper Arts and was also inspired by this week's Clean and Simple Spring theme at The Paper Players, and things finally fell together.
The wreath from Circle of Spring was stamped in Archival Basic Black, colored with a Blender Pen and reinkers in the Color Challenge colors then die cut with the matching Wondrous Wreath framelit. The sentiment from the same stamp set, perfect for the Paper Players challenge, was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and popped out with a 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch.
A piece of Birthday Bouquet designer series paper was adhered to the top part of the Whisper White card base. I knew I wanted to use a Tea Lace Doily as the lower half circle under the horizontal panel but by itself, it got lost against the white card stock base, so I die cut a circle of Mint Macaron card stock to place under it.
The horizontal piece of Blackberry Bliss was embossed with the Polka Dots TIEF then adhered to the card with Dimensionals. Because of the large size of the wreath, twine was used across the panel rather than a banner under the circle. The Vellum polka dot embossed butterflies were left over unused from another project and worked perfectly to carry the theme of spring, adhered to a same size butterfly punched from Blushing Bride card stock. Pearls were the finishing touch.
Well, that's it for tonight. I hope you'll have a chance to join us at SCS for this week's color challenge. I've included links above for all the challenges, so do be sure to use them to check out all the great inspiration and join in! Thanks so much for your visit today and would love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment!
Hugs,
Stef
