Personal note: I had created this card a week or so ago for this challenge. God’s plan has me using it already. My father-in-law passed away unexpectedly last night. I think my mother-in-law will really appreciate this card.
Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is field of snapdragons. Stampin’ Up!’s new Inspiring Snapdragons Bundle is perfect to use!
INSPIRING SNAPDRAGONS
I remember my grandmother had a wall of snapdragons along the side of her garage! The wood planks in the background of my card were inspired by that memory!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lolly cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Country Woods Designer Paper was added on top.
- A 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock was torn across the top and sponged with Granny Apple Green Ink along the edges, then added to the bottom of the DSP.
- The snapdragon details were cut from Basic White cardstock and colored by sponging with Peach Pie and Pumpkin Pie Inks, Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop Inks, and Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight Inks. All were sponged along the bottom with Granny Apple Green for the leaves.
- The snapdragon solid images were cut from Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Petunia Pop cardstock with the Dies and the detailed images adhered on top. The spike leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green. They were added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two leaves were punched from Granny Apple Green cardstock with the Bough Punch and sponged with Granny Apple Green Ink. They were layered behind the flowers.
- The greeting from Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set was stamped with Granny Apple Green on a 3/4 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle. It was added over the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of yellow Shiny Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the background.
