Remarkable You

When I was looking at challenge sites at the weekend, I found that the TGIF challenges site was doing a remix – you take the last few challenges are make a project that satisfies at least two of them. The four challenges to choose from are colour, sketch, clean & simple and brand new. I decided to do all but the sketch. Here’s my card:

Stampin' Up! Remarkable You and You've Got This

Here’s the challenge banner which inspired it, including the colours:

I was planning to use the flower from the set Remarkable You as my brand new item but actually this was the first time that all three stamped images were inked up. I started with the background stamp from You’ve Got This, stamping off once first to get a muted island indigo image on the smoky slate base. I then used smoky slate embossing powder for the flower from Remarkable You – I really love this set. It’s one of the more expensive ones, but it’s so worth it. This is the fourth card I’ve made in a week with it.

After embossing the flower, I used blackberry bliss ink and a blender pen to colour in the petals and then stamped the sentiment, You’ve Got This, from the stamp set of the same name. A small mat of island indigo on the blackberry bliss card base really pulled this clean and simple card together.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
