Cindy Keery of imagine. dream. create. is having a one-year blog birthday party. To celebrate, she has challenged her readers to create an original card using the color combination of Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa & Very Vanilla. Since I didn’t have the Stampin’ UP cardstock, I used approximations from Bazzill Bling cardstock and Wild Asparagus DP.
I started with a Chocolate card base and added mats of Ruby Red and the DP. Then, I sponged the edges of the DP with ColorBox Chalk Dark Brown ink for a little depth.
The floral flourish from Fancy Pants From the Garden set was stamped on the DP using the same Dark Brown ink. The small Joy with two flowers (also from this set) was stamped in Dark Brown on vanilla cardstock. I sponged the image with Dark Brown, Rouge and Warm red & added Sakura glitter pen to the word and flowers. I got this wonderful ribbon that is almost like a thin piece of fabric at Ink & Stamp with Sue in Galena, Illinois … a very fun store if you’re in the area. The image was matted on the Ruby Red cardstock and attached using pop dots for some dimension.
Head on over to Cindy’s blog and make a card to help her celebrate her Blog Birthday (she’ll be sending out some birthday goodies to the winner).
Your card is gorgeous… and yours is the very first entry! Good luck! 🙂
Wow such a beautiful card! I love the stunning colors that you used and the pattern paper is wonderful. Great job!
