Friends 24-7 Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Today on Create with Connie and Mary, we have a Color Challenge! Your challenge is to use Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Pacific Point colors in your creation! Yes! Don't they scream WARM weather? I know I'm ready for it to warm up and STAY warm!

So, if these colors look familiar on my card, that is because I did THIS card for the challenge. I was working ahead, then realized that Sale-A-Bration would be over by the time this challenge came around and I had to change up my card! So here is what I'm doing this week instead!

Same paper, sketch and colors, but a different look, huh? This one started with a base of Real Red cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Impressions Folder. I used the Sunny Garden Designer Paper and layered it on Pumpkin Pie. I used the stamp set, Friends 24-7, one I haven't used in a LONG time! I stamped the scroll in Pacific Point on Whisper White and layered it on Pacific Point cardstock. In the center I punched the Small Oval from a different pattern in the Designer Paper, then cut out the 24-7 from Whisper White to layer over top. I wrapped around Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon around a tied a knot, then added the Here for You greeting from the same stamp set and punched with the 1" Circle and layered it on 1 1/4" Circle of Designer Paper. Finally, I added a couple of the Rhinestone Jewels in the corners!

I thought the comparison was pretty neat to see! Make sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Team did this week over on our website!

Well, I’m off to Convention WAY too early this morning! I’ve scheduled posts throughout the week so you won’t miss me! I’m not going into great detail on any of them, so feel free to leave me a comment or email if you want more information!

This week’s challenge on Late Night Stampers is to make a Monochromatic card. When I first thought about it, I didn’t know what to do. Then, I decided I was thinking too hard and that Monochromatic didn’t mean just one color…but the same color tones.

For this card, I started with a base of Sahara Sand and layered on Soft Suede. I then added a layer of Bella Bleu Designer Paper and used the ticket corner on each layer. I wrapped some Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon around to the back and adhered. The bird from Friendsd 24-7 was stamped with Soft Suede ink on Sahara Sand cardstock…then I off stamped the damask stamp in that same set with Sahara Sand in the background behind the bird. This was layered on Soft Suede. I stamped Here for You with Soft Suede on Sahara Sand and punched with the large Oval Punch, then layered on the Scallop Oval punched from Soft Suede. It is raised up with Dimensionals.

What do you think? I think I achieved the monochromatic look!
