It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Karen is hosting this week and has chosen Mango Melody, Poppy Parade and Old Olive with a dessert option to make the sentiment the focal point or main image.
The stamp set I ended up using is one with some big bold sentiments but the other images are not my style, so I have rarely if ever used the set. Today I was determined to dust it off and make it work!
Beginning with the sentiment, it was stamped with black pigment ink for good coverage. It is actually two stamps but they were easy to line up. Next I lined up the flowers and hearts around the sentiment and used my Misti so I could stamp multiple times for good coverage. Distress Oxide inks in colors similar to the challenge were used. After the stamping was complete (at that point anyway!), the panel was trimmed down and added to a mango scalloped rectangle.
At this point I felt something was missing, so I decided to add a little bow Black Baker's Twine to tie in the black from the sentiment. After adhering to the card base with foam tape, I realized I forgot to include Old Olive on the panel!! Fortunately the stamp set has a couple leaf images, so the smallest one was inked up with Peeled Paint, stamped on a separate piece of paper three times, then fussy cut. I wanted to have the off the edge look with the leaves so I placed them on the panel to get the right positioning, cut off the ends then adhered to the panel. That finished up this very CAS card.
Thanks so much for visiting, I really appreciate it! I hope you'll use the link above and join us for the Color Challenge this week!
