Wow, did I fly by the seat of my pants for this one! Today's card was created for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge:
This sketch together with this color combination sure was a challenge for me! I'm not sure I was up to the task, but this is what I came up with! I couldn't decide on another DSP to use for the two long pieces so I made my own :) I stamped a flower from the Secret Garden stamp set in Summer Starfruit and another flower from the Simple Stems stamp set in Pool Party randomly across a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I used a Stampin' Marker in Old Olive to color the center of the flowers. I then trimmed the piece in half using my Stampin' Trimmer and trimmed the bottom edges into banners.
I decided to go with a banner in the center as I really wanted to use this sentiment. I inked the stamp from the Perfect Pennants stamp set up with Stampin' Markers in all three colors and then cut it out using the Banners Framelits Dies and my Big Shot. The resulting banner needed a little something, so I attached it to a piece of Old Olive Core'dinations Cardstock and trimmed the framing banner by hand.
A little flower punched with the Petite Petals Punch and topped of with an Old Olive button is a nice accent and candy dots in Old Olive provide the final touch of jewelry.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope the rest of your week flies by!
