The Gorgeous Slate was Crushed Color Challenge

By


Oh, how I love a color challenge!  Last week over on SplitCoastStampers the color challenge included: Stampin' Up!'s Gorgeous Grape, Smoky Slate, and Crushed Curry!  If you are a member of a fraternity, you'll recognize that these colors are similar to those of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. With that in mind, I thought... hmmm ...masculine card.  So...here we go!  I have lots of floral stamps, but I don't think florals work well for masculine cards so I searched my brain and still came back to florals...of sorts.  I decided to use the Stampin' Up! Tulip Fields Bundle...1, because I hadn't used it before and 2) I needed to create my version of a card created by Sharon Coleman for the Fabulous Fun Friday Stampers' February Shoebox swap (Click here to see the inspiration).  So this card was born! What do you think?

I used a pencil and ruler to lightly draw my horizon line (remember, I can't draw a straight line to save my life) and used this as my guide.  I started with the Smoky Slate for the horizon, then stamped the center also in Smoky Slate, then alternated Gorgeous Grape and Crushed Curry to complete the field.

What do you think?  Leave me a comment...and don't forget to follow my blog!

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

By
Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
