Hi all!
I've been participating in a new challenge later in the week on Instagram as an 'influencer'😂 and I'm prepping my cards for it now. It's a 'Do it 3 ways' challenge. I decided to use my card from earlier today as my inspiration and launching point. Do you have try this type of challenge? It certainly helps me to build my card stash that's for sure...
Using my layout and the items used (stencils and dies) I've decided to change up the color palette for few challenges here on the blog-o-sphere. First the colors were inspired by The Card Concept's lovely color combo; and the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge with pumpkins.
The background uses a plaid stencil by The Greetery, and although I used all 5 stencils, you can only see the 3 copper ones...bummer. The next panel has the sweater stencil from Altenew's Cozy Comfort webinar (which should come out soon) inked with gray ink and dry embossed with the stencil.. It gives a nice subtle texture, though it's a bit lost on the dark color.
The pumpkins are from the Ton, and I had to fussy cut them as I did not invest in the coordinating dies...which I have just rectified as I HATE fussy cutting. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and it cuts out this paper MUCH better than the mirror gold paper in my last card...more user error than the die itself I'm sure of it! I even embossed the background for the sentiment with a wood folder to match the image from the Card Concept.
Finally, the leaves are from an old 'vintage' set from PTI called Leaf Prints. Great set, too bad it's retired. Alright...now to make my 3rd card for the Instagram challenge...I think I'll do it in pink for a little variety!
Thanks for visiting me, I hope you have a color filled day!!!
