This week's color challenge over at Splitcoaststampers so soft and beautiful:
Petal Pink + So Saffron + Mint Macaron with Congratulations (baby, wedding, graduation) for dessert.
I'm not sure my dessert really counts but I used a greeting meant for wedding but versatile enough to be a more general greeting. It's hard not to look at every card I make as one that might just be used as a friendly hello.
- Have you seen these beautiful Bird Ballad Laser Cut Cards? Simply. Gorgeous. !
- I did a blended background of the three challenge colors on a white piece of cardstock. This involved mixing a bit of each of the colors with a little white ink and applying them with sponge daubers. I know some people use the makeup brushes to apply ink and if you have them by all means give them a try. I've tried them too but feel that the blendability that is added by the white ink makes the daubers easier on my wrists that are just a little arthritic.
- I used my multipurpose adhesive lightly around the edges to attach the card to the background piece.
- Tie a piece of Petal Pink Metallic-edged Ribbon around the card with a bow on the left side.
- The greeting is stamped on Mint Macaron and cut out with a larger oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I applied it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- The little flower sprays were stamped twice with Gray Granite ink, colored with the challenge colors Blends Combos - and Gray Granite Light Blends Marker. I trimmed the largest dotted branch off one of them and applied that to the lower right side of the oval. The full sized version is applied on top of this towards the right. I applied a little Wink of Stella as shown below:
