Hello! How are things in your corner of the world? We have one more day of heat and humidity before we're supposed to get some relief, just in time for the weekend! I, for one, am looking forward to cooling off for a few days!
On to today's card, which is for two challenges. First is the fabulous color combo that Stacey chose this week for the Curtain Call Color Challenge. Isn't it fun? Okay, I admit it scared me a bit at first, but once I started working with this combo I really loved it! It gave me a chance to try out PTI's Simply Chartreuse cardstock.
I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch of the week. I think the oval shape can be incredibly versatile using one of the many available label dies, which is what I decided to do.
I was dying to play with my newest stamp set, PTI's Distressed Stripes. I made the striped paper by stamping three different stripes in red, black, and turquoise. This was totally inspired by PTI's Beautiful Blooms patterned paper with a similar color combo. I stamped the black cardstock with the larger bloom and leaves from Delightful Dahlia in white ink. The label die and stamp are PTI's Fillable Frames #4, and the sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages. I finished things off by die cutting and stamping the smaller dahlia and leaves and layering them over the label. The red ribbon is from my stash.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Hawaiian Shores, True Black, Simply Chartreuse, white)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Distressed Stripes, Delightful Dahlia, Fillable Frames #4, Mega Mixed Messages)
Ink: Papertrey Ink (Hawaiian Shores), Clearsnap (Cranberry, Black), Jo-Ann (white), Versamark
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Fillable Frames #4 die, flower and leaf dies)
Accessories: ribbon
And to finish off the inside, I added more of those fun stripes and a punched border strip in chartreuse, to pull in all of the colors from the front.
That's all for today! I'm trying to get back to posting comments more regularly, so be sure to leave me a comment here so I can visit you, too! Thanks for stopping by today!
