Ink. Stamp. Share. April Blog Hop Color Challenge

It's time to hop along with the Ink. Stamp. Share. April Blog Hop with a fun Color Challenge to inspire us all. We have been challenged to use Rococo Rose, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron in our project and I just love the Spring feel of this color combination.

For my card design today, I decided to use one of my old favorite stamp sets, This Little Piggy (item #151227) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I am sad to see that it is retiring, so I wanted to show it some love. I combined it with the Daisy Lane Bundle (item #151118) to create this sweet Spring card design.

To create this card, I chose to use Rococo Rose cardstock for the card base and added a layer of So Saffron cardstock that I embossed with the retiring Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog to add some texture to the background. I created the focal panel from Whisper White cardstock and the frame from Rococo Rose cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies (item # 151772). I stamped the image from the This Little Piggy stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image using Rococo Rose, So Saffron , Granny Apply Green and Highland Heather Stampin' Blends Markers.

I added a piece of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (item #146912) across the center of the So Saffron card front and attached the square focal image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, positioning it over the ribbon.

To create the daisy, I stamped the medium size daisy image from the Daisy Lane stamp set twice onto Whisper White cardstock using Highland Heather Classic ink. I then punched out both images using the Medium Daisy Punch. I colored the daisy images with Clear Wink of Stella to give them a soft shimmer and attached them together using Snail Adhesive, offsetting them to create a fuller looking flower.

Using the Leaf Punch, I punched out some leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock and attached them to the back of the daisy. I added the daisy to the card front using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, positioning it to cover the top left corner of the focal image. For a touch of bling, I added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center of the Daisy to complete the card design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to create your own fun Spring projects with these beautiful colors. The possibilities are endless.

We Create In Color 2017-2019 Blog Hop

Welcome to the We Create In Color 2017-2019 Blog Hop as we say goodbye to these beautiful colors that will be retiring soon. I have so many favorite colors in this collection that I will be sad to see go. As you visit each blog, you will see wonderful projects using these colors to help inspire you with your own creations.

I think my absolute favorite color from the 2017-2019 In Color collection would have to be Lemon Lime Twist. It is such a wonderful vibrant color, perfect for Spring. I chose this as my main focal color for my card design and used Powder Pink, Berry Burst and a touch of Tranquil Tide.

The stamp set I chose for the image for my card is This Little Piggy, an old favorite from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. It makes me think of Spring and sunshine when I see this cute little pig holding a flower, so happy. I stamped the image with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored him in with the colors from the 2017-2019 In Color Stampin' Write Markers (item #144033), onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I die cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits (item #148551) from the 2019 Occasions Catalog. I layered it onto a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock that I also die cut with these dies.

I chose to use a piece of Lemon Lime Twist gingham paper from the Gingham Gala 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. Using the thin tip of the Berry Burst Stampin' Write Marker, I drew grid lines on the paper to create a colorful plaid look. I attached it to a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to create a matte and then added a piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) across the center of the panel.

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (item #148580) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock background panel. It was then a simple manner of assembling the card to complete the design.

This color collection works beautifully together to create wonderful cards and projects for Spring and Summer. With the coordinating products that Stampin' Up! has to offer, it is simple to choose coordinating paper, ink and embellishments to design your project.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope my card design helps inspire you to try creating your own designs with the 2017-2019 In Colors.
