Welcome back to another challenge at The Spot, your place for inspiration and weekly card making challenges. This week we have a fabulous colour challenge! Challenges are a great way to jump-start your creative process and let's face it with everything going on right now, card making is a fantastic way to relax and enjoy some creative time. I hope you can find the time to join us, we love seeing your wonderful creations.
I have been doing my best lately trying to work through the supplies I have on hand, but with Stampin' Up's new annual Catalogue launching on June 3rd, I finally caved and opened up my pre-order of amazing new products! One of the big perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is we get to see and order new products before they are released. Trust me when I say this next catalogue is AMAZING!
I immediately fell in love with the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle. The gorgeous floral and leafy images are the exclusive DisINKtive stamps. Which means they have photorealistic details and provide beautifully detailed images. The coordinating metal dies can be layered together for a stunning stand-alone look or layered over stamped images. I also used another sneak peek item and possibly one of my new favourites, the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.
For my card, I decided to use just 3 of the colours from the choices given. I focused on using Melon Mambo, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green. Such beautiful, vibrant colours and perfect for the flowers in this stamp set. I stamped the images directly on a piece of light wood grain DSP. I love how stamping on DSP gives added texture and depth to the images, plus it also helps to soften the colours a little. I also stamped the sentiment directly on top of the stamped florals, layering stamps helps to give dimension without added bulk.
To add some physical texture to the card I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock with the Corrugated 3D Folder and created a double bow with the awesome Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding. Behind the bow, I attached a small vellum die cut flower. And of course, every card deserves a little bling, so I added a few Gold Glimmer Dots.
Now be sure to check out The Spot for some fabulous inspiration, and we would love to see you join in on the challenge! Below you will find all the items I used for today's project and as always feel free to contact me with any questions!
