TGIF! It was freezing and super windy down by the Store again today. I can’t wait for Sunday! I spent the morning working on projects and then got ready for Card Class. It was a fun group and we had a good time laughing and creating! Today I have a class in the morning and then no class tonight! I have a lot of things around the house that I want to get accomplished so I think I will sneak out a little early! π
Good news! It’s a Fab Friday week and we have a fun color challenge for you…
When I saw the colors I saw flowers and couldn’t get that out of my head! I used the Hero Arts You’re So Lovely Photopolymer Stamp Set but did a little something different with it! To create the flowers I used the Coordinating Frame Cuts to cut out pieces of Solar White 80lb and then used them as a stencil to add Soft Cantaloupe and Soft Apricot with my Mini Ink Blending Tool to another piece of Solar White 80lb. I then used my Heat Tool to make sure they were dry and stamped them with the images from the set in the same colors. They are then cut out with the Coordinating Frame Cuts. I used a piece of Press n Seal to hold my arrangement in place and stamped the berries and greeting in Raspberry Jam and the leaves in Tide Pool onto another piece of Solar White 80lb. Next I created my card base out of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and covered the front in a piece of Tropical Sea. I adhered the stamped background panel to the card with E-Z Runner Ultra Strong and Fun Foam. All that was left to do was to adhere the flowers with 3D Foam Squares! Yes, that set is definitely in my top ten! I do like the sponged and stamped flowers, it’s a nice way to change up the set, almost makes it a layering set! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and take a look at the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thanks for visiting with me today! Have a fabulous Friday! π
