Happy Thursday friends and welcome to another week at Create with Connie & Mary! This week the gals have cooked up a beautiful color challenge for us, take a look:
Aren't they pretty? I might have mentioned...it was going to be difficult for me to put down my new Gently Falling stamp set, right? Well, I used it again on today's card:
Only this time, I took a cue from my friend, Ann Schach, and covered the stamped background with some cardstock vellum to mute the colors. This allows my main image, from the Have a Seat stamp set, to take center stage.
I inked the bench in Bravo Burgandy and stamped onto a Very Vanilla oval cut with the Ovals Original die. Behind the bench, I stamped the flourish from Creative Elements in River Rock and sponged the edges with more River Rock. Did you notice the Baja Breeze peeking out from behind?
And a closer look at the little flower and sentiment banner--one flower from the Boho Blossoms punch and the other from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack paired with a flagged sentiment from Trendy Trees.
What do you think? Inspired to play along? I hope so! Be sure to check out even more Design Team inspiration over at Create with Connie & Mary. If you play along with us, please load up your project at the Create with Connie & Mary blog by Wednesday, October 19th at noon (EST). Thanks for stopping by, friends!
