We Create Brights Blog Hop

Welcome to the We Create Brights Blog Hop as we share projects created using colors from the Brights Collection. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world as we share our creations to help inspire you to try new colors to create your own fun projects.

My card design today features a stamp set that is not in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. It is a new stamp set that can be found in the Experience Creativity Brochure that was created by Stampin' Up! to help new stampers get started. That being said, this stamp set is perfect for stampers of all skill levels and I just love how the images and sentiments work to create wonderful clean and simple card designs. The Hoot Hoot Hooray Cling stamp set (item #149352) can be found on page 12 of the brochure and the images are great for coloring with watercolor pencils, Stampin' Write Markers and even Stampin' Blends Markers, which is what I chose for today's project.

I chose Flirty Flamingo cardstock for my card base and I added a strip of the beautiful gingham Flirty Flamingo Designer Series Paper from the Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack (item #149613) to a layer of Whisper White cardstock to create a pretty Summer card design. I die cut a Whisper White circle using the Layering Circle Dies (item #141705) and also die cut a scalloped circle from Daffodil Delight cardstock to create the matte for the focal design.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image onto the Whisper White cardstock circle and colored the image using Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo, Light and Dark Daffodil Delight, and Light and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Markers. I also used the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Marker to color three of the larger Basic Pearls to embellish the card front.

I assembled the card layers with Snail Adhesive and added the circle focal point to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. The colored pearls add just a touch of bling to a very simple and fun card. I love that the colors in the Brights Collection are perfect for creating cheerful cards that are sure to brighten someone's day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to try creating your own projects using colors from the Brights Collection. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you with your creative needs.
