Hi friends – welcome back for another fun pop of color inspiration piece. This month we are partnering with The Ton – WOW, WOW, WOW – such gorgeous stamps, matching dies and gorgeous sequins/beads – be sure to check them out!
I knew I wanted to go graphic as well as clean and simple (CAS); so I stamped what would be the third stamp in the layering flower down the left hand side of the card; I then added some graphic black and white paper from my hoard stash. I stamped all 3 images from one of the floral layering sets on Hero Arts white layering paper with Worn Lipstick and Barn Door distress inks. That in itself is pretty, but look what happens when I added some shadows with a Barn Door distress marker – now the depth really pops! I stamped several leaves but only used two; sometimes I stamped 2nd generation, sometimes I stamped full strength on full strength of the same color for a deeper/richer color.
I don’t have the matching dies so just cut each piece out and colored the edges with a black marker for a defined edge. I die cut the ‘thanks’ from pink and black card stock and layered them up – I added some sponging to the pink layer for a fun ombre look, finished it off with glossy accents, clear wink of stella and layered all the pieces on to the main panel which was adhered to a Hero Arts black note card (white on the inside).
Thanks for stopping by; hope you take some time to play along with our pop of color challenge this month, another great prize up for grabs!
Hugs,
really nice~
Whoa, that is a gorgeous card! I am just getting to know about The Ton and Effie and how she got it started – very cool. Love the striped border and your coloring/fussy cutting – amazing work!!!
