Thank you Kristina for posting another one of your awesome Color Inspiration Challenges! I was in desperate need of something to inspire me today! Here is her challenge for us this time around:
and here is what I made:
Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
Stamps: The More the Merrier set, Party Hearty set
Ink: Versamark; Riding Hood Red Classic ink
Paper: So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, Ballet Blue, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red cardstock
Accessories: White embossing powder, White Signo gel pen, paper piercer, Dimensionals; ribbon by Lil' Davis Designs
I loved the colors in the challenge this week but wanted to create a clean and simple card. I stamped one cupcake from the stamp on each piece of cardstock using Versamark and then embossed it with White embossing powder. I cut the cupcakes out and popped them up onto 1" square pieces of the same color cardstock. I added some faux stitching for a little detail and adhered them to my white background. I added the sentiment, matted it to the red cardbase and lastly, searched my stash for some matching red ribbon! I was happy to find this old, neglected polkadot ribbon... it just works! Hee!
Well, I hope you are all enjoying your day! If you have time, check out the other cards people submitted for the color challenge on Kristina's website- there is some great talent there!
Thanks for stopping by!
