Blogger Challenge: Week 111

This week’s blogger challenge was a color combination featuring two of SU!’s new In Colors, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede, and Old Olive, along with a neutral. I used a layout that I used for a swap for last year’s SU! convention to create a new card for this challenge.

Since the colors had a fall feel to me, I used the new SU! Falling Leaves set for my card. I stamped the maple leaf (I think that’s what this one is) image twice in Crushed Curry and the oak leaf (again, I think that’s what it is) in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla cardstock, then used my 1 ¼” square punch to punch them out. I layered them on slightly larger cardstock squares, then attached them to a piece of dotted paper from the Thoroughly Modern DSP pack.

I stamped the “{grateful}” sentiment from the set in Soft Suede ink directly on the olive card base. It’s embellished with a single antique brass brad.

I liked this card so much that I ended up doing pretty much the same thing for a swap I brought to this year’s convention. I changed up the colors just a bit (swapped out Old Olive for Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry for More Mustard), but otherwise, kept the card just like you see it here.
