Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Happy”, and we each create a simple card every Tuesday using that theme!
UNIQUELY ARTISTIC
I recently attended Stampin’ Up!’s OnTour Online Event and I received this pretty floral set, Uniquely Artistic, that is in the upcoming Annual Catalog!! PLUS, I got my hands on the new Annual Catalog! So many wonderful new things available to order on May 3!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Succulent cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Polished Pink cardstock was centered on front.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock was scored along the left side at 3/4, 1, and 1-1/4 to give it some texture.
- The greeting from Honeybee Home stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink.
- The flower was stamped twice full-strength with the detail stamp and Polished Pink Ink, then stamped off with the background stamp on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut. The center was colored with the dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
- The leaves were stamped three times full-strength with the detail stamp and Soft Succulent Ink, then stamped off with the background stamp on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut.
- One of the flowers was trimmed to three petals and then the petals curled and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals overlapping to look like one larger flower.
- The leaves were added under the flower.
- A trio of green In Color Jewels were added to the background. I’m going to miss these SO much, they have such a pretty sparkle!
I love the subtle detail the scoring tool gave to the background. Be sure to check out what Mary did this week for her “Happy” Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary! Check back next week for another Creatively Simple card!
