Today is my Mother-in-law's birthday! I decided to play along with SCS's Color Challenge today…Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Very Vanilla, with a dessert of Clean & Classy (CC412). Do you think I succeeded in the Clean & Classy? It also fits the Less is More challenge, Kraft & Kreme!
Many different ways I could have gone with this, but I pulled out the new Sale-A-Bration set, Patterned Occasions, to stamp. My Mother-in-law loves coffee and tea, so it is pretty appropriate! Of course, I had to use my FAVORITE embossed background right now…Honeycomb! Then I needed to find some designer paper with Crumb Cake or Black. Not many black, but I did find this pattern in Print Poetry Designer Paper Stack…perfect! I like the way the circles mimic the background embossing.
Here are the details:
- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Very Vanilla, folded in half to make base card, then the front embossed with the Honeycomb Folder.
- I layered a 2 x 4 1/4 piece of Print Poetry DSP on top of 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 of Basic Black cardstock and adhered to the front.
- I cut the second from smallest Window Frame Framelit from Basic Black, then paper pierced with the template around it.
- I used Basic Black and Crumb Cake Markers to ink up the teacup, then stamped on Very Vanilla and punched with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.
- I stamped Mom from Family Reunion with Basic Black on a 1/2" strip of Crumb Cake cardstock, then cut a flag end and tucked it under the DSP.
- Finally, I made a bow from Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon and added a Black Glimmer Brad to the center of it, then placed with a Mini Glue Dot on front.
- I added a Rhinestone Jewel to the center of the heart "steam".
I hope she likes it! I think she will!
