Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 15 - Misty Moonlight

It's that time of the week again for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Challenge. Can you believe we are already at Week 15? It's crazy how fast this year is going by. This week's color is Misty Moonlight, one of my favorite blues and I am excited to share the card I created to showcase this beautiful color.

For my card design, I chose to use the Fractured Card technique to create a fun masculine card design. I am also giving some of my favorite retiring products a final send off and for this design I chose to use the He's All That stamp set and coordinating All That Dies along with the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper. I love the texture in the Misty Moonlight designs from this paper pack and it was perfect for this card. Instead of using Basic White as my neutral, I chose to use Gray Granite to coordinate with one of the designer series paper patterns. I think it helps give the design a bit of a grunge look. What do you think?

Scraps from 2 different designs 

To create this fun card design, I chose two of the Misty Moonlight patterns from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to create the look of the fractured card. I used a piece of Basic White cardstock for the base layer and added a Misty Moonlight square to the center of the card front as the focal point for the design. I then added the Gray Granite strips around the outside edges of the square to create the fractured look. Using scraps of the designer series papers, I alternated the different designs and adhered them to the open spaces, flush with the Gray Granite strips and then trimmed the excess to have the card front be the finished size of 5" x 3 3/4". For the focal image, I stamped the image using Misty Moonlight Classic ink onto Gray Granite cardstock and then die cut it out using the scalloped circle from the All That Dies. I adhered it to the center of the square using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I attached the card front layer to the Gray Granite cardstock layer and then to the Misty Moonlight card base. To finish off the design, I colored several of the White Classic Matte Dots using the Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the top and bottom strips. I love how this card turned out and I think it's the perfect masculine card design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore all the amazing possibilities available with Misty Moonlight. This beautiful color is a great option for masculine cards and for all occasions.

ICS June Blog Hop 2020-2022 In Colors

Welcome to the ICS June Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing new 2020-2022 In Colors from the New 2020-2021 Annual Catalog that launched today. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share projects and ideas created with these beautiful new colors. 

My favorite color is blue so I guess it is no surprise that I chose Misty Moonlight as my focal new In Color for my card design. With that being said, I really love the way these colors work together, so I chose to use the pretty Flowers For Every Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack (item #152486) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to add a pop of color to my clean and simple card design.

 To create this card design, I used Misty Moonlight cardstock for the card base and I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the background layer. I added a strip of 5 1/4" x 1" designer series paper to the left side of the Whisper White cardstock and added a piece of Misty Moonlight 1/4" Ribbon (item #153624) to cover the seam. 

 The sentiment is from the Lovely You stamp set (item #152525) and I heat embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder onto a 3/4" strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock. To create the decorative ends to the sentiment label, I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch (item #152883) to punch each end of the cardstock strip. Both the stamp set and coordinating punch can be ordered as a bundle (Lovely You Bundle item #154070) to save you 10%. 

I wanted to add a little embellishment behind the sentiment, so I used one of the leaf stamps from the Lovely You stamp set and heat embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder to contrast with the Misty Moonlight label. I attached the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals to the card front so that it covered the bottom of the stamped design. 

 To complete the card design, I attached the card front to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals to add dimension to the design. I decided not to use any other embellishments as I really liked the clean look of this card design. This card design is so simple to create and with this pretty paper coordinating with the new In Colors, there are so many wonderful possibilities to create clean and simple cards for all occasions using this simple layout. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help to inspire you to explore these beautiful new In Colors and the wonderful products that coordinate with them in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
