Today's project is one I am SO happy with! I used the new stamp set Vertical Greetings …
I was drawn to it right away and was one of the first sets I ordered. Sadly, as is OFTEN the case with me, the ones I love the most are the ones I find the most difficult to work with! This one was absolutely that kind of set! I LOVED the samples I had seen on-line but couldn't seem to come up with anything original … and then it happened …
I really miss our old Color Coach as I'm TOTALLY challenged when it comes to colour coordinating things (probably why my favourite colour palette is the neutral palette!) When I struggle with colours I (once again) turn to the catalogues. I flip to the Designer Series Paper sections and find something I like. The colours I used were from the By The Shore DSP - Dapper Denim, Calypso Coral and Mint Macaron. They look great together!
I stamped the sentiment first. I cut a 1" x 3 1/2" piece of Whisper White, inked the stamp with markers and stamped the image.
Next up I cut a piece of 2 3/4" x 3" strip and ran it through the Petal Burst embossing folder …
Next up I wanted an embellishment of some sort. I looked around and spotted my Festive Flower Punch. I *may* have squealed when I realized it was the PERFECT shape to compliment the stamped image. Ok, *may* nothing - I squealed.
Naturally no card is complete in my eyes if there isn't some Wink of Stella on it … so the leaves on the stamped image and the Mint Macaron petal got a shot of that. I popped the stamped image up on dimensionals and Wa-low! An origin layout I love!
That's all I've got for today. Pop in again tomorrow :)
