This fun card design is based off one of the card sketches that can be found on page 22 in the 2024-2026 Annual Catalog. I love the way the strips of designer series paper create a fun background for this card design and how they help make the focal image pop. I stamped the lined image for the dog with Pecan Pie Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then flipped the stamp over and stamped the reverse solid image side (stamping off once) over the lined image to create the two tone image. I then used the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch out the image to create the focal point for my card. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto Pecan Pie cardstock and then punched it out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I distressed the edges of the cardstock with Pecan Pie Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber to give the cardstock a worn, aged look. To assemble the card, I attached the three strips of striped designer series paper to the Very Vanilla card front, spacing them evenly. I then added the focal image to the center of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To add some texture to the card design, I added a piece of Natural Polka Dot Trim around the card front below the focal image and added the sentiment label over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals, making sure the top of the sentiment label slightly overlapped the focal circle. I then attached the card front to the Pecan Pie card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the card design, I added a Gold sequin to the collar of the dog for a touch of bling. I think this card design showcases the versatility of Pecan Pie and is a wonderful way to showcase the variety of coordinating products available.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog for this week's color challenge. I hope that my card design will inspire you to give Pecan Pie a try when creating your next project. This rich, warm brown is so versatile and perfect for all seasons.
