Hello out there! You're in for a special treat this morning. I am absolutely thrilled to be posting alongside my friend Karen Baker from The Bald Dragonfly as her guest for Carbon Copied. This is a fun little feature on Karen's blog where she and another designer use the same stamp set and same challenge, then post their creations at the same time. You can read more about it HERE.
Karen and I decided to use a favorite pair of stamp sets, WPlus9's Woodgrain Silhouettes and Additions, along with the color challenge at CR84FN.
I used just Woodgrain Silhouettes to create my CAS card, as well as a couple of other WPlus9 goodies. First I used the Label Layers 3 die to mask and stamp a woodgrain frame onto kraft cardstock. A gorgeous sentiment from Very Vintage Greetings was stamped directly on top of that, then the panel was debossed with PTI's Linen & Canvas impression plate.
I stamped the flowers (from Woodgrain Silhouettes) onto cream cardstock and cut them out by hand, then adhered them with foam dots. A few red pearls and a red satin bow add a punch of color.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Kraft, Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Woodgrain Silhouettes, Very Vintage Greetings)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Chocolate Chip), Papertrey Ink (Dark Chocolate)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Linen & Canvas impression plate)
Accessories: Papertrey Ink (ribbon), Queen & Co. (pearls)
I can't wait to see what Karen has created with the same stamps and color combo--it is sure to be inspiring! Make sure you hop over and leave her some love.
Thanks for inviting me to play along this week, Karen! And thanks to everyone else for stopping by today!

Absolutely lovely design Christina! I love the pops of red with the ribbon and pearls. Stunning...and so fun that you are playing along with Karen!
Wow. I knew your card would be amazing. I really like how the bow is balanced by the marvelous cutting of the crocus image, and the subtle woodgrain pattern behind them is the perfect touch. You really know how to make each set shine when you pick them up and make a card or project. Thank you so much for joining me in a Carbon Copy post! Thank you!
