I was looking for inspiration and checked a few challenge sites and decided on the handstamped colour challenge for this week. Additionally I wanted to play with my new mini treat bag thinlits dies. The challenge banner is an interesting mixture of colours and are combined in a new DSP, the Best Day Ever. Of course I decided to go in a different direction!
I used one of the decorative dies from the mini treat bag collection – the line of stars.
After cutting out the stars out of a piece of very vanilla, I was going to colour on the layer below but realised that it wouldn’t be easy to get the colouring in the right place and also there wouldn’t be enough depth of colour. So I cut out little pieces of card stock in calypso coral, crushed curry and coastal cabana and glued them onto the back. I next took another new product, the Stampin’ Up! Project Life Remember This set (it’s in the Occasions 2015 catalog) and stamped the sentiment in calypso coral. I glued the card onto a base of very vanilla.
Nice use of colour, and I like the text/font.
GREAT card! I love the CAS style…it really makes those stars POP! Thanks for playing along at HSS !
Thanks Breelin. Thanks for the challenge – I don’t think I’d have come up with this card without it!
Very Cute!!! Great use of the star punch outs- the color combo really makes the stars POP!!! Perfect saying to finish your card!!! Thanks for playing along with HSS, Diane
