Hi friends! I have one more quick post today. I was determined to play along with this week's color challenge at The Play Date Cafe, especially since it is sponsored by WPlus9 Design Studio. Here is the color inspiration:
The colors I used are SU's Baja Breeze and PTI's Melon Berry, and I repurposed some silver string from packaging I had saved. I tried very hard to add more silver to the design, but it just wasn't working!
The large leafy branch is from WPlus9's Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions, stamped with Baja Breeze ink onto Baja Breeze cardstock. I debossed the card base using PTI's Linen & Canvas impression plate to add a little texture.
The postage stamp and sentiment are from WPlus9's Spring Post stamp set, and both are heat embossed. A strip of Melon Berry ribbon and three Melon Berry buttons finish it off.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Baja Breeze), Papertrey Ink (white)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions, Spring Post)
Ink: Clearsnap (Frost White, Papaya Cream), Stampin' Up! (Baja Breeze)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Linen & Canvas impression plate), Spellbinders (square die)
Accessories: Papertrey Ink (ribbon, buttons), Stampendous (embossing powder), silver string
Thanks for stopping by tonight! Off to link this up before the collection closes. Enjoy the rest of your night!
