April 4, 2024 By Connie | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. Isn’t this a pretty color combination?

PANSY PATCH

When the retirement lists come out, I like to go back through my stamps and use them a couple more times before they retire! This color combo was cool to use with Pansy Patch Stamp Set! Those little pansy faces are popping up all around here this spring!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Berry Blisscardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was stamped with the Pansy Patch greeting in the upper right corner with Berry Burst Ink.
A 2 x 4 piece of Brights 6×6 DSP was added along the bottom.
A 3/8 x 4 strip of Petal Pink cardstock was added to hide the seam.
The pansy base was stamped off with Berry Burst Ink, the full strength for the darker detail. The center was stamped with Petal Pink and the “eye” with Basic Black Ink. They were cut with the Pansy Dies.
The leaves were stamped off with Coastal Cabana Ink and the veins full strength for the darker detail. They were cut with the Pansy Dies.
Some Linen Thread was wrapped in a circle several times and added to the front with the pansies and leaves added over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Glossy Dots Assortment were added to the background!

Love these colors together! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.

IM175 – Inspiration Monday

May 10, 2021 By Connie | 1 Comment

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have a beautiful patchwork quilt! I love the colors!

PANSY PATCH

I was wanting to pull my inspiration from the patchwork look of the quilt and the small prints, so I used three small print patterns in the Pansy Petals Designer Paper to create the “patchwork” look to my background.

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pale Papaya cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and fold.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
Three pieces of Petal Patch Designer Paper were cut 1-1/2 x 3-1/4 and layered on the Basic White.
A piece of Basic White was cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and stamped with the Happy Birthday greeting in Memento Black Ink.
The pansy embossed background pieces were cut from Pale Papaya and the outside trim from Calypso Coral cardstock, they were glued today.
The center was cut from Fresh Freesia cardstock and added to the center.
The leaves background were cut from Soft Succulent cardstock and the detail from Evening Evergreen cardstock. All pieces were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I love how the background turned out! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
