Hi Stampers, today for our hop we all had a color challenge. The colors we are working with are Marina Mist, Old Olive and White. When I originally thought about these colors I was going to use a floral from the Sweet Soiree DSP and make a really frilly card. Well, I did use a piece of the paper from that pack ( a simple patterned paper) but changed gears and inked up an old favorite from the Jar of Love stamp set. I did stay true to the color challenge and ended up with a more subtle simple card, I hope you like it! There is no fluffy bow on this card, I think that might be a first, LOL
Here is the color challenge:
Stampin’ Up! Jars of Love:
Here is the card recipe:
Card base: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2
Mat: Sweet Soiree DSP 4 x 5-1/4
Small mat: Old Olive 3-1/8 x 4-1/8
Art Piece: Whisper White 3 x 4
Here are the details:
Stamp all images onto Whisper White card stock using the Jars of Love stamp set and matching dies
- Jar: Tuxedo Black ink, water: stamped off Marina Mist and stems are Crumb Cake. After stamping you then die cut the jar out
- Background foliage: Crumb cake
- Stems and bow: Crumb Cake
- Die cut foliage: Old Olive
- Flowers: stamp two in Marina Mist, the shaded part is stamped twice in Marina Mist to give more contrast.
- Flowers: stamp one in Crumb Cake (second generation stamping) then the shadow is full strength Crumb Cake
- Tiny flowers: stamped with Marina Mist using second generation stamping (stamped off once) then stamp the shadow full strength Marina Mist.
More details:
- Stamp your jar image onto the art piece, this gives you a good image as to where to adhere your die cut jar so you can stamp your stems
- Stamp your Crumb Cake foliage
- Adhere your die cut jar to the front of our art piece OVER the previously stamped jar
- Tuck in the Marina Mist flowers with glue dots
- Adhere your Crumb Cake flower with a dimensional
- Tuck in your Old Olive foliage
- Stamp the HEY onto a piece of Whisper White card stock and cut free hand tiny tag. Sponge the edges and adhere to the front of jar
- Mount your art piece onto the Old Olive mat and then adhere to the front of the card with dimensionals
- Finish it off by adding some Dapper Denim Enamel shapes along with a few tiny pearls
