Good Morning Stampers! I am so thrilled with this weeks Inspiration for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge. I thought not only is it such a beautiful picture which makes me LONG for spring and ultimately SUMMER and days by the pool. I thought the color palette was perfect for a St. Patty's Day card.Unfortunately today I won't have a ton of detail, I am fighting a cold that came on yesterday- and I don't feel so hot. I promise that I will add details and product info tomorrow in hopes that I am feeling much better. Here we go and I hope you enjoy.
I used Kraft card stock for my base and added texture by scoring a crosshatch pattern using my paper cutter and stylus. I used Very Vanilla card stock for the stamped images and Soft Suede card stock for the accent piece below punched with the spiral punch.
I used Old Olive (stamped twice to give a darker and lighter image), Certainly Celery, Summer Sun (stamped twice for two tones), then used the Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker to write the sentiment on the card. Then I used So Saffron 5/8" grosgrain ribbon layered under neither the Old Olive Taffeta ribbon.
Here is a close up of the texture I created, and then accented with my white gel pen in the centers.
