Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week the design team have been set a colour challenge.
I can say I really struggle with colour challenges. Sometimes the combinations are so outfield I have no idea what to do with them. But then I see what the rest of the design team come up with and I think why was I making it so hard. Stampin' Up! design their colours to coordinate with such skill it really isn't that difficult to combine any of their colours with ease.
To create my cards I have cut the colours into 0.5cm strips from the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper in the July-December Mini Catalogue (p.59). I have then adhered them at an angle on a piece of 14.5cm x 10.1cm cardstock, trimmed the sides then cut the card into different size strips. By adding various elements I have designed 3 different cards.
For the first card the strip measurement is 4.5cm x 10.1cm.
I have then added some white bakers twine, a sentiment from the
Lovely You stamp set and scattered some Adhesive Seasonal Sequins.
The strip measurement for this card is 4cm x 10.1. I then cut my 11cm x 10.1cm Basic White front panel on an angle at 2.5cm up from left side lower corner and 5cm up from right side lower corner. I then embossed both pieces with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. I adhered the pieces together using Stampin' Dimensionals to lift the front panels up. My sentiment is from the Sending Smiles Bundle.
The simplest card of all was made from the left over trims which are 14.5cm x 8cm strips adhered to the left side of the card and a sentiment from the Charming Sentiments Bundle.
