Here we are in the last week in March. And, it's my last week as a guest designer for the Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. The colors this week are Powder Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Early Espresso. Dessert, which is always optional, is designer series paper.
- I have collected all of Stampin' Up!'s designer series papers in the color groups. The dots and stripes in these papers work for color challenges and can also be combined with papers in other designer series paper collections. For this card I chose Soft Sea Foam Stripes with Early Espresso dots and wrapped them up with a Shimmery ribbon in Powder Pink.
- My focal point is a vase of flowers from Vibrant Vases.
- The vase and flowers are both stamped in Early Espresso. I used the Dark Soft Sea Foam Blends to color the vase and flower outline.
- The flowers have a 2 step type set up. I stamped the solid flowers in Powder Pink, then darkened the centers a little more with the Powder Pink marker.
- The Vase Builder punch is great for punching out the vases in this set. I trimmed out the flowers.
- I used a Whisper White stitched shape cut with a Stitched Labels Framelits die, as the base for my vase.
- A few Artisan pearls finish off the card.
I had kind of a tricky time photographing the soft colors in this card, since didn't have daylight available. To try something different without my usual pale wood background, I put a few sheets of vellum over a sheet of pink rose paper. I'm not sure which picture I prefer but I think I have one more idea in my card photo bag of tricks.
