Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #47: Colour Challenge

1.4K

Hi, welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our October 2022 Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. For this challenge, we needed to make a project using Sweet Sorbet, Old Olive and Blushing Bride. We are also permitted to use Basic Black, Basic White and/or Very Vanilla.

Here’s the Challenge…

When I saw the colours of this challenge I knew immediately the Simply Fabulous stamp set was the perfect choice for me to use…plus I hadn’t used it in forever so it was time to get it out again.

I started by creating a card base from the Sweet Sorbet cardstock. Next, I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock to size. I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink. Some I stamped directly to the cardstock and others I stamped off first so that it was lighter to give more interest. Next, I stamped all the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink directly onto the card panel. I stamped a few more onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and then fussy cut them out. I did the same with a couple of leaves too. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Blushing Bride ink at full strength so I stamped it off first before adding the small flowers to the card design. They are subtle but I do think they complete the design.

The sentiment, also from the Simply Fabulous stamp set, was stamped in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White cardstock. I did add some Clear embossing powder to the top but I’d probably skip this step next time as my ink wasn’t as juicy as I thought it was. You could overstamp with Versamark if you wanted instead and then emboss if you want the glossy look. I used the Stitched Rectangles dies to die-cut the sentiment.

After I had all the components ready, I started to assemble the card. I thought it needed something more so I trimmed a little from the top and bottom of the stamped panel and then added a strip of Old Olive cardstock.

Once everything was assembled, I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers and scattered a few of the Iridescent Pearls (which I cannot stop using – but don’t stop me! haha). It was at this point I thought the card needed something else so I covered the sentiment with a Post-It note and then used the Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blend marker to spatter some ink over the design. I think this finished it off perfectly.

Here’s the card…
