Have A Beautiful Day

Hi and welcome! I'm super excited about today's post. I'm Guest Star Stamper for Color Throwdown Challenge #542! 

Tip: color challenges are a great place to find inspiration. Often times I will look at color challenges when my crafty mojo is hiding. 

I actually created two cards for this challenge, but I felt the first card was too dark. I wanted to stay as true to the color palette as possible, so I made this second card. I'll share the first card below. 

• Stamp the image using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and colored with Faber Castell Pencils
• Stamp sentiment from the Simon Says Beautiful Day Stamp Set using VersaMark ink, add Steel Navy embossing powder and heat set
• Die-cut the image and emboss #80 Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock with a wreath embossing folder (this embossing folder is old) 
• Center embossed cardstock onto a 5.5" x 4.25" Imperial Blue card base
• Add mounting foam to the back of the die-cut image, adhere to the left side of the embossed wreath
• Finish the card with enamel dots 

Here's the first card I created.

Be sure to check out the Color Throwdown Blog for more inspiration and be sure to join the challenge by linking up your card. 

As always, thank you for stopping by.
