Today is another fun day to do a Pals Paper Art Challenge!!! I invite and encourage you to participate! It is open to everyone and guess what…
THAT MEANS YOU!!!
Today's challenge is a color challenge using these 3 beauties…..Midnight Muse, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla! Please go to the Pal Paper Art Website and play along!
To me….this was a fun challenge as I simply love these colors…..so rich and traditional! I wanted to play up a little bit with it and challenge myself not to do something so "4th of July" so here you go….by now you know I love square cards…and I was pleased with the end result!
The Stamp Sets I used were Million and One and Flowering Flourishes! Both "keeper" stamp sets that you will want to have in your collection! Having the Classic Colors of Midnight Muse and Very Vanilla will always produce a clean, crisp and classic card!
Stampin' Dimensionals are the key factor to the WOW factor of the card! Simple, classic, and clean! You can never have too many stampin' dimensionals on a card!
The Stamp-a-ma-jig made this a breeze…true you would not need it but…..to me – it is SOOOO much easier to already have your square cut ( 2 3/4") and then use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make it perfect everytime!
Randomly Stampin' the Flowering Flourishes for the back drop made the sentiment be able to be "Center Stage"….this is such a great "filler" stamp! When in doubt….pull this on out! Works like a charm each and ever time!
Bringing the Cherry Cobbler into the challenge…out came the Bitty Punches…the perfect little and subtle touch to make the WOW happen…and with the basic pearl made it happen!
You know me…I love my envelopes! Making a custom one is super easy! This was a 7 1/2" square scored at 3 3/8" with the Diagonal Scoring Plate and PRESTO….a custom envelope!
The liner was the finishing touch…and it was from the In Color Designer Series Paper…one that is a MUST HAVE….I swear by ALL of the Designer Series Papers!!!!
I hope that I have encouraged you to play with the PALS for the challenge….and I hope that I inspired you with this card! When I come up with one that I really….REALLY like…I make many…and this one I did!
Please let me know how you like this…..you can email me here and also shop from your home right now and the goodies will be delivered to your door! Enjoy the day!
Until tomorrow……
