Love What You Do Thank You Card

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I'm not sure if you are familiar with Stampin for All over on Facebook, but its a fantatsic group which runs two challenges a week. I find joining in with these helps me focus my creating. There's a sketch released on a Monday and a Colour Challenge of a Wednesday.

For this week's Random Colour Challenge we were given Shaded Spruce, Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso - this combo was definitely a challenge, but this is what I can up with....

Measurements

Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"  , scored at 4 1/8"

Whisper White Cardstock
2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 3 3/4" x 2 1/8"

Shaded Spruce Cardstock
1pc - 3 3/4" x 2 1/2".


Crate your card base by folding the pear pizzazz on the score line. Sponge the edges of a larger piece of the whisper white and add to the inside.

On the other large whipser white piece create your background. I used early espresso for the 'branches', then stamp the leaves in pear pizzazz stamped off once, finally the flowers in shaded spruce, this time stamped off three times - I found it too 'strong' otherwise. I didn't think too much about spacing either, I just stamped over the previous stamping to create a layered look. Sponge the edges with early espresso. Cover the back with snail adhesive and add to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment and the flower outline image onto the remaining piece of whisper white - now with my dimensions, it will be a tight fit, so I would stamp the sentiment first as low down as you can, then position the flower stem to fit.

Using the infill stamp for the petals, stamp two with pear pizzazz and one with shaded spruce, both colours stamped off once, sponge the edges with the early espresso and add to the shaded spruce cardstock which you should  sponge as well. Place the panel into the centre of the hand stamped background.
