This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Monochromatic cards”…we could choose ONE color (not black) plus white or vanilla.
DAHLIA DAYS
I’ve had my Dahlia Days bundle for a while but haven’t used it! It thought it would be perfect to use for this monochromatic challenge! This is really a simple card as the DSP does most of the work!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Magenta Madness cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of pink marbled Expressions in Ink Designer Paper.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock was cut with the Detailed Dahlias Dies and adhered to the top with Monoadhesive Glue.
- A 3/4 x 4 piece of Magenta Madness was added across the front towards the bottom.
- The label in the Dahlia Days stamp set was stamped with Magenta Madness Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Detailed Dahlia Die.
- The greeting from Dahlia Days was stamped with Memento Black Ink on the label. (It needed the contrast!) It was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of pink In Color Jewels were added to the flowers in the background.
SO quick to pull this card together! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
