Welcome back to another challenge at The Spot , your place for inspiration and weekly cardmaking challenges. Happy St. Patrick's Day and with that in mind, we have a theme challenge for you!
The theme for this week is Good Luck or Encouragement cards. I think with all that is currently going on in the world, there are a lot of people who would love to see some happy mail with a few words of encouragement.
I've been on a mission lately to use supplies that were getting neglected in my craftroom and the Daisy Lane Stamp set and Medium Daisy Punch Bundle had been sitting far too long. I love that this set also coordinates with the Daisy Punch, so you can easily stamp and punch two sizes of flowers. I chose a colour scheme of Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Mossy Meadow. The Birch Background Stamp is also a perfect pairing with this bundle.
I started with a Petal Pink card base then layered on a piece of Whisper White that was stamped with the Birch Background stamp using Crumb Cake Classic Ink. Using the 3D Corrugated Embossing Folder I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock. TIP: To create even more texture I tore the cardstock and lightly distressed the edge and corner. The Stitched Label Die cut was stamped with the leafy image using Mossy Meadow Classic Ink.
In this photo you can really see the "shine". I knew when I chose this stamp set that I wanted to make this card shimmer, especially with that sentiment. TIP: Adding several types of subtle shimmer and shine using different elements can complement the design of your project and not overwhelm it, but me mindful of what you are using to achieve it. Yes, there really is such thing as too much bling;) For my card I used Clear Wink of Stella to create a pretty shimmer effect on the daisy petals and a pretty Clear Faceted Gem in the center. To make the words really sparkle I stamped with VersaMark and then heat embossed it with Shimmer Black Stampin' Embossing Powder.
Now be sure to check out The Spot for some fabulous inspiration and we hope to see you join in on the challenge!
