Blogger Challenge: Week 76

This week's challenge was a color challenge including Bashful Blue, Close to Cocoa, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, and Whisper White. Five colors is a lot to coordinate!

I created a flower using three of the challenge colors and the Stemming From stamp set. I think this set is under-appreciated! It's easy to use, works with lots of color combinations, and is so cute, too.

Here, I cut out the flower part and punched out the flower center and attached both to the panel with dimensionals for more depth. I stamped one of the sentiments from Upsy Daisy alongside the image in Close to Cocoa ink

I layered the image on coordinating cardstock panels and added a scalloped strip along one edge. I used a piece of dotted Prints Series designer paper on the cardfront, along with a paper pierced Close to Cocoa strip to continue the dot element from the flower. For a little more contrasting color, I knotted a piece of striped Kiwi Kiss ribbon and attached that to the cardfront.

For more fabulous projects featuring this color combination, you can check out what the other challenge participants have created. You can find links to their blogs in the sidebar on the right.

Stemming From and Upsy Daisy stamp sets, Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, Bashful Blue, and Close to Cocoa Classic inks, Bashful Blue, Close to Cocoa, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White cardstock, Bashful Blue Prints Series DSP, 1/2" circle punch, scallop edge punch, mat pack and paper piercing tool, Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, dimensionals

  2. Funny how you sometimes miss stamp sets in the catalog because maybe the samples don't appeal to you. I would never have looked twice at Stemming From had it not been for your cute card!
