I absolutely love, love, love how this card turned out. The colors scream spring and I have this thing for textures and layers on a card – this has it ALL.
The design was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Chat Wszelaki and this Tulip color palette…
I used Sahara Sand card stock as the base followed by Crisp Cantaloupe andCalypso Coral. The Calypso Coral layer was embossed with the Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the Occasions catalog. The ribbon is Pear Pizazz 3/4" Chevron Ribbon.
The flowers are from the Petite Petals stamp set (Occasions Catty) and the Petal Parade which is only available through the end of the month as a Sale-a-bration FREE gift with a $50 purchase. Both were stamped in Calypso Coral ink.
The sentiment comes from the Yippee Skippee! stamp set. If you don't have this stamp set you should – great sentiments and awesome contemporary fonts. This was stamped in Sahara Sand ink.
Here is another look
I think this gives you a better sense of the colors. Sometimes it is so hard to accurately capture the colors on a card due to shadows that get created from the lighting.
And here is a close up
Those that follow my blog, know how much I love candy dots as finishing touches. The candy dots used are Sahara Sand. I wanted to use Crisp Cantaloupe but we don't have them for the In Color Collections. I sure hope they add them for the new catalog in July!
On this Monday I hope this card brings a smile to your face and inspires you to be creative today. If you have not yet joined the StampinMojo Facebook Page please Like the page on the right of this post!
