SBTD October Blog Hop Color Challenge




It's time for the SBTD (aka Stampers By The Dozen) October Blog Hop and this month we have a color challenge to share with you. We have been challenged to create a project using Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Pool Party and I just love these colors together. You may have just visited Susan's blog or perhaps you are starting out here with me. I hope that you enjoy the projects we have to share with you today.
For me, these colors make me think of Fall, so I decided to create a clean and simple Fall card design using products from Stampin' Up!'s 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful bright colors and chose to use the Seasonal Layers Thinlets dies (item #143751) to die cut leaves in Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron cardstock with the smaller leaf die. I used the detailed larger leaf die to die cut from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the base was die cut using Poppy Parade cardstock to create the larger leaf.

I chose So Saffron cardstock to create the card base and added a layer of  Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The next layer was created using Pool Party cardstock that I embossed using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #143706) to add texture. 
The sentiment, from the Colorful Seasons stamp set (item #143726), has been heat embossed with Copper embossing powder onto So Saffron cardstock and punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch and layered with a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock punched out with the same punch. 

For a touch of bling, I colored two of the larger Basic Rhinestones with the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker, to embellish the sentiment. I also colored each of the leaves with Clear Wink of Stella to add some shimmer.

This card design works for many occasions and by changing the sentiment you could use it for a birthday or thank you card. I love the way the colors work together to create a beautiful Fall card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you enjoyed my project and I hope it helps inspire you to try this color combination for your own creations.

Until Next Time.
