Hey Y'all!
The days and weeks are flying by! I can't believe it's time again to join my Crafty Collaborations friends for another Crafty Challenge Blog HOp. Today we are sharing a Color Challenge
Here are the colors we were challenged to use:
Aren't they fun! I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets from the new 2021-22 Annual Catalog that I have not had a chance to ink up yet called "Brew Some Fun." I love me some coffee, and any set having anything to do with coffee is at the top of my list!
I chose a Crumb Cake cardbase to help tone down the bright colors. I randomly stamped the heart image in all three colors on the front of the card. I added a 2-1/2 x 5-1/2 Basic Black layer, and then a 2 x 5-1/2 Melon Mambo layer. I first ran it through with the Dots embossing folder to add texture.
I used both types of markers Stampin' Up! sells-the Stampin' Write markers and the Stampin' Blends. Each type has a purpose and can be used for different techniques. The blends are great for coloring and achieving shading. You won't get the harsh lines you do with regular markers. The Stampin' Write markers are great for coloring on stamps. This technique cannot be achieved with the blends. I used the blends to color my coffee cups, then "fussy cut" them out. I used the Stampin' Write markers to color the heart images on the sentiment stamp.
I popped the sentiment up with Stampin' Dimensionals, then finished off the card with a a Linen Thread bow, which has started to be my go-to embellishment. I just love the natural look of it, and how it adds just enough without being overpowering. Do you have a favorite embellishment that goes on almost every card you make? Let me know what yours is in the comments!
Now it's time to see all of the other fabulous projects!
