It's here – MONDAY….and a time for you to play a personal challenge with me and all you have to do is email me a picture of your card that you create (You have until Tuesday at 9 p.m. eastern time) and on Wednesday, I will announce the winner and you can win a white gel pen! (so you can dash and dot your heart away!)
Let's get to it – your challenge this week is to use 1 color of a base and just one color of an ink! Today I used my favorite, Strawberry Slush, (I am boo-hoo that is is going away) and I used the white embossing as my ink today!
The size of this card is a 3 1/2" X 6" (I adore odd sizes) and the next layer down is just 1/4" smaller. To me, this off setting with a layer is "my cup of tea" – it never lets me down….ever!
The stamp set, Four You is on the retired list and I must admit – I am a toddler with their lip down as I adore this set! (If I were you ,I would definitely get this stamp) – the sentiments are so basic yet the fonts are fun.
I decided to do this entire card with heat embossing. Not only is it fun – it always creates a WOW factor. I highly recommend Stampin' Ups! heat tool as it gets super hot and with having (2) temperature controls, it allows you to control and get the "right heat" that you need for the paper you are working with.
With one flower I use 1 dimensional and the other, I doubled it up – love the effect it gives…The layering of the colors and the cotton white twine makes the card festive and fun with a super simple bow!
I know that many of you think that we have sooo many floral stamp sets, (and I do agree) but….I adore this one – Petal Potpourri, I am so surprised at how many times I have reached to this stamp set since it came out with the Occasions Catalog/
It comes right now as a bundle, but there is no guarantee that it will remain a bundle (which saves you an instant 15%)
ADORABLE card – LOVE it!
Love the size, shape and color of this card!
🙂
This card is awesome! Love everything about it and how you did your magic with just one color!
I am in agreement with Mary Ann. Love this card ! I am a lover of all of those retiring colors ,but thank goodness I have a good supply stashed . I really like that stamp set also ,but I have so so many flower stamps. Maybe they will put it on sale before too long . Then I won`t be able to resist it any longer (tee hee)
Magically delicious! I had to play off Mary Ann H’s comment about being magic with just one color. The strawberry slush color always reminds me of delicious strawberries though it is a lighter shade than the strawberries I buy. Whatever, yummy card. You are certainly challenging me with this challenge! You can’t expect me to do two of these challenges in a row do you? Besides I couldn’t top your luscious card! Can you tell I like it?
I really like your color choices. Pretty card!
very pretty card!
Great card and a fun challenge. Thanks
Love the card and especially the use of the three white dots. Learned this little touch from you and now use it a lot to “dress up” a card and give it the extra pop without using Candy Dots.
