Good
morning! It’s a short week for me and
I’m really looking forward to my getaway, even if I’ll be flying solo to one of
the happiest places on earth! Before I
head out I have a lot on my to do list so I’m going to work as hard as I can to
get as much done so I can plan and not stress.
With the start of a new month it’s always fun to see what new challenges
are in store for us onver on the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration blog and today
we’re kicking off the month with our color sketch challenge. These are always fun since it gets you to use
colors and combinations that you may not normally think of.
I
started with Crisp Cantalope (retiring) for the cardbase and then added a piece
of Island Indigo cardstock as a mat for my stamped Whisper White
cardstock. On the white cardstock I
started by stamping with the Background
Rules stamp (so sad it’s retiring) using Crisp Cantaloupe ink and then
sponged all over it using Hello Honey, Island Indigo, and even Sahara Sand ink
to really distress it.
I
added a piece of Hello Honey striped DSP from the Lullaby Designer Series Paper.
Next I added a piece of Island
Indigo Chevron Ribbon as the second layer.
The greeting is from the Yippee
Skippee stamp set (one of my favorites and oh so sad it’s also retiring,
but staying in my stash). I stamped the
greeting on Chalkboard Paper using
the Rose Coral Color Box Chalk Ink
(it looks similar to Crisp Cantaloupe).
The final touch was to add a bow using some Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Baker’s Twine so I punched a couple holes using
the ¼” Handheld Punch to thread the
baker’s twine through the paper. Dimensionals were used to attach the
greeting tag to the cardfront.
This
was a unique color combination but it’s always fun to see what you come up with
when you step out of your comfort zone. The designers are sharing some other great
cards so go check them out for further inspiration and come play along.

Enjoy,
