Anyway, today's card is for 2 challenges. The first challenge is for Pals Paper Arts. They've made some changes to their blog recently so be sure to check them out. Besides that, they have a very talented design team who make such beautiful creations.
The second challenge is for Stacey's Stamping Stage, who also has some beautiful creations.
This color challenge was just that, a challenge for me, I wasn't sure how to work the Crumb Cake into it. But, I figured it out and this is what I came up with.
I used a technique on this card that I recently learned, see below for details.
Supplies
Card Stock: Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Paper: In Color Designer Series Paper Pack
Stamps: Fast and Fabulous, Elements of Style
Ink: Basic Gray, Concord Crush, Crumb Cake
Punches: 1-3/4" Scallop Circle, 1-1/4" Circle, 1" Circle, 3/16" Corner
Accessories: Brayer, Color Spritzer Tool, Sponge Daubers, SNAIL, Pear Pizzazz 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Cutter Kit
Tips
- To get the background look I embossed a piece of Pear Pizzazz Card Stock with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, and then using a Brayer and Concord Crush Classic Ink I lightly rolled the ink over the debossed side of the card stock. It's really important that you Brayer lightly because you don't want to get ink into the debossed part of the pattern.
- I used the Corner Punch on the 2 right sided corners, and then used the Cutter Kit to distress the edges.
- I used the Color Spritzer with Concord Crush and Crumb Cake ink on the stamped image.
- The pattern on the DSP is the same as the pattern from the Embossing Folder.
