Hello! It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This month we are “casing the catalog”. Here’s the second in the series…it has a FUN layout, but you could use the colors, or the baby theme!
SWEET FAREWELL
This was a set that I didn’t think I needed, even though I thought it was super cute! But, I was assigned it for a tutorial challenge so went ahead and purchased it. GLAD I did!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Granny Apple Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pattern Party Designer Paper (Host only) was added on top.
- Three rectangles of Pool Party were added on top.
- The images were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Light Night of Navy, Light Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green Combo and So Saffron Combo Stampin’ Blends. They were hand-cut and added to the rectangles with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- “will I fit into your luggage” was stamped directly on the rectangle with Night of Navy Ink.
- Bon Voyage was stamped on 1/2 x 2 piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock and the end but on an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Holiday Rhinestones in three colors were added to the images for a little bling.
I think this turned out SUPER cute!!! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this “case the catalog” challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
