Stamping with Friends Color Challenge Blog Hop - June 2022

 



I love a good challenge, how about you? This month’s blog hop theme is just what I needed to get my creativity flowing! The colors in this challenge are Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Mango Melody and Pacific Point; I added Pear Pizzazz. 

When I looked at these beautiful colors I thought FLOWERS! Hence the addition of Pear Pizzazz; I truly believe leaves should be green. This card is inspired by Maureen Rauchfuss; Her presentation in a private group inspired me to create a bouquet of flowers using the Sending Smiles Bundle. This includes the Sending Smiles Stamp Set and Sending Dies.

You will find cutting directions below. I began with a strip of Pacific Point cardstock for the first layer with a stamped Tahitian Tide strip on top; I used Tahitian Tide for the flower and Mango Melody for the center. It is fun to make your own background. 

Next I adhered the Tahitian Tide strip to the Pacific Point strip and adhered these to my card front using multipurpose glue. I stamped stems and leaves using second generation  inking of Pear Pizzazz on white cardstock then stamped a variety of flowers, also using second generation inking, in Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and Pacific Point with Mango Melody centers. I adhered this to a layer of Pacific Point and added Tahitian Tide Metallic Open Weave ribbon.

For dimension, I added a stamped and die cut flower to the front. Because this is going over two layers of cardstock I used Stampin' Dimensionals on the top and bottom. My sentiment, “Sending”, is die cut from Tahitian Tide, using both the mat and the detail dies. I used Wink of Stella to highlight the detailed word. 

WARNING/REMINDER: When die cutting a word with an ‘i’ in it be sure to keep the dot over the i, but if you forget or it somehow slips off your work space, you can use a rhinestone basic jewel.  


I stamped a stem on the envelope and the insert for the inside of the card. Then using Sweet Sorbet I stamped the echinacea with a Mango Melody center. The sentiment is stamped on a basic white scrap in Tahitian Tide and adhered using Stampin' Seal. The insert is then adhered to the inside of the card using Stampin' Seal.


I noticed something was missing and decided it was BLING! I added more Wink of Stella on the flowers and added several Rhinestone Basic Gems.

I used Tahitian Tide scraps for my sentiment and basic white for my flower to die cut and the inside sentiment.

I hope you are feeling inspired! More inspiration awaits as you hop through to the nest blog.
