Thank goodness, too, because it gave me time to stamp for Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge this week. Aren't these colors fabulous together?! So Saffron, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Basic Black & Whisper White...so fresh and modern! I also used Kazan's great sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You. Here is what I created:
The single stamp, Ornate Blossom, was inked up with Stampin' Write markers in this weeks colors, stamped on Whisper White and cut out with circle nestabilities and the Big Shot. I stamped the center of the blossom with Marina Mist ink on some scrap, cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals. I really like how the Black Raven Lace looks laid flat on the So Saffron designer paper next to a piece of Marina Mist cardstock embossed with the Polka Dot impressions folder. The sentiment from Curly Cute was stamped with jet black Stazon for a crisp clean look. Not sure if I like the 3 pearls but I felt it needed something more in that corner to balance the blossom.
Here's a quick look at the inside with more of the same designer paper. I'm sorry it looks crooked in the photo, I think it's the angle, I promise it's straight IRL!
This is a smaller version of the same ornate blossom and this one is from the Friends Never Fade set. I inked it in Marina Mist and stamped off once before stamping on the paper. Such a fitting sentiment for a thank you card, this one is from the level 2 hostess set Occasional Quotes.
So, that's it for today...I hope you like it. As always, thank you for stopping by and thank you even more for leaving a comment with your feedback. I love hearing from you! Be sure to check back on Sunday for another fabulous week at The Paper Players!
