Picture Perfect Birthday and the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #493
January 18, 2018
It is Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #493. This week it is a Color Challenge.
The challenge colors are Old Olive, Marina Mist and Calypso Coral.
The first thing I thought of was the paper from the Bubbles and Fizz DSP. The Bubbles and Fizz DSP pack is really fun and bright. This is one of the Sale-A-Bration choices which means you can get it for free with a $50 order. I love the hearts and was reminded by one of my team members that this design works beautifully for Valentine's too.
I used images from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set in the challenge colors. Once I completed the stamping I covered the circle in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with a mix of Dazzling Diamonds glitter and Clear Embossing powder. I think the glittery embossing livens up the card. One of the things I really like about the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set is the sentiments. I always like when fonts are mixed in a sentiment and I especially like this hand lettered font.
I finished off the card tying a bow using the 3/8" Classic Weave ribbon. This ribbon is super soft and easy to tie. This is a quick card with a little bit of glittery appeal.
I hope you will join in the challenge and be sure to check out what the other members of the design team created for the challenge. I think you will be inspired.
