Hi! Welcome Back!
So, what did you think of last week? AMAZING, right? I LOVE this Design Team!
Every Wednesday for the next year, the 2013 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team will be bringing you FUN, new, exclusive projects - shared here on our blogs. Are you looking forward to it as much as we are???? I know we sure hope so! Maybe you just came from Jane's blog - that girl ROCKS! If not, make sure you follow the hop all the way around to check out all 10 projects!
Ok, so out of all of the cards I created this month, I think this one might be my favorite. It always means more when you create a card for someone special!
EEEK! I LOVE how this turned out. I knew I wanted to incorporate some fun trends on this card, like our new Gold Foil paper and Chevrons from our Chevron Border punch. I also wanted to add a fun touch of Polka Dots with the Modern Medley Designer Paper. The special girl that got this card LOVES green, So adding all these things together was quite the challenge! How did I do?
I used some Crystal Effects to glue the new Candy Dots to the tops of my wood skewers for the flags to give them that little extra finishing touch.
OH! If you are looking for a good way to line up the little punched out chevrons - try this trick - use the piece that you punched FROM as a template
COLOR COMBO Basic Gray, Basic Black, Gold, Gumball Green, Very Vanilla
TIP To give my embossed background piece even more dimension, I smooshed my ink pad on it, highlighting the raised parts. I also stamped a splatter from Gorgeous Grunge (my MUST HAVE stamp set) in Gold ink!
Hope you enjoy all of the AMAZING projects that the rest of the team has for you today. These are some special projects, so please let the team know what you think!
Hope you have a great day!!!
