It's that time again-you know time to get sketchy with Try Stampin' on Tuesday! I know most of you are still probably busy creating for Christmas but I really felt inspired to create this card using the Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin' kit. I just love all of the papers and elements in this kit.
I especially love the colour combination in this kit-Basic Gray, Primrose Petals, More Mustard and Pool Party. For the Basic Gray card stock panel I stamped the Distressed Dots background stamp tone on tone and also created a little banner from the same card stock. The large label is a die cut sticker from the kit and I stamped two butterflies from the Papillion Potpourri on it and also words from the Loving Thoughts stamp set, I want to have it popped up a bit so I first took the skickiness off the back using the Embossing Buddy then added several Dimensionals.
What maybe hard to see in the photo is that I used some homemade "shimmer mist" all over the card. To make this I used a Stampin' Spritzer and added 4 drops of Champange Mist Shimmer Paint then fill the rest with 70% rubbing alcohol. It creates such a beautiful shimmer. The little medallion and butterfly are also from the Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin' Kit. Lastly I used a Basic Gray Marker and the Colour Spritzer Tool to spritz some added colour to the card front.
Have a great day!
Jenn, as usual your card is absolutely stunning! I agree that this colour combo is great. I love your style and wish I could pull a card like this together :)

I adore this color combo! What a fun way of laying out your papers. Fabulous card, it is so refreshing to see non-Christmas cards. I so love Christmas but by this time of the year I am so done with Christmas cards. Great sketch and great card!
