I'm so glad its Friday!! Its Thanksgiving weekend here, and I'm looking forward to some family time, and laying pretty low, and maybe getting a bit more stamping done this weekend. Speaking of..I've completely missed Kristina Werner's deadline for submission for her 25th Color Inspiration Challengetonight (sniff, sniff), but I'm going to post anyway. The challenge was to use Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, So Saffron and Ruby Red. The inspiration pic. was so adorable - I had to put a card together. I think this Nursery Necessities set is so cute - and its pretty hard to go wrong with a little baby boy card for this color combo. Anyway, enough yick yack.. hope you like it!
Here's how I made it: My card base is a 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of Confetti White. The next layer is a 4" square of Ballet blue. I paper pierced around the four sides, then I heat embossed the stars with the sweet stars wheel, versamark ink and White Embossing powder, then adhered it to the card base with dimensionals.
The little boat is stamped first on a 1 3/4" square of Whisper White card stock using Ballet Blue ink. I then stamped the boat three more times in each of the colors, then cut out the sails, and adhered them over top of the blue boat with dimensionals. I adhered the ribbons to the right side and set the image aside. The Certainly Celery matte is a 2 1/2" square. I paper pierced along the four sides, the created faux stitching. I heat embossed the sentiment with Versamark ink and white embossing powder on a piece of Celery scrap paper, then punched it out using my word window punch. The final step was to adhere all the layers together using dimensionals.
Here's the supplies I used:
Stamps: Nursery Necessities, Sweet Stars Jumbo Wheel
Paper: Confetti White, Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink: Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, Ruby Red, So Saffron, Versamark
Extras: White Embossing Powder, White Gel Pen, Paper Piercer, Dimensionals, Celery & Apricot 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Blue Gingham Ribbon.
