Color & Contour

Saturday Blog Hop – Colors of Fall

By | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Colors of Fall”.  One of my favorite things are fall mums this time of year!  They look so festive on everyone’s porches!

COLOR & CONTOUR

I thought the flowers in the Color & Contour would make pretty mums and paired them with the All About Autumn Designer Paper that is FINALLY back in stock!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Copper Clay cardstock, score at 5-1/2 and fold to form base card.
  • A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of All About Autumn DSP was added to the right side.
  • The large scallop rectangle was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Scalloped Contour Dies and stamped with the greeting in Copper Clay Ink, then added to the front.
  • The flowers were stamped with Copper Clay Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss Inks using Blending Brushes.  The centers were colored with Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends and ringed with the Dark Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the Scalloped Contour Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink and colored with Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay Inks using the Blending Brushes, then hand-cut and added under the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of green Speckled Dots were added to the background.

IM297 – Color & Contour

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges.  We have a wonderful wall hanging to inspire you today!

 

COLOR & CONTOUR

I debated on whether or not to use Cheerful Daisies on today’s card but saw the daisy shape flower in Color & Contour, so pulled it out instead!  I think it worked great!

Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Copper Clay cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded to form the base card.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pebbled Path cardstock was embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder and adhered to the base card.
    • The Joy of Christmas DSP was cut with the Scallop Contour Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The daisy flower was stamped three times with Pebbled Path Ink on Basic White cardstock, then filled with Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze Inks.  The centers were sponged with Pebbled Path Ink.  They were cut with the Scallop Contour Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The leaves were stamped with Pebbled Path Ink on Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, then hand-cut and added under the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The greeting from Color & Contour was stamped with Pebbled Path Ink on 3/4 x 2-3/4 strip of Basic White and the ends cut at an angle.  It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Three large Pebbled Path In Color Glossy Dots were added to the center of the flowers slightly offset.
