Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and I chose the "topping" to Use Red as the Main Color. I thought it was perfect for a February challenge. I hope you have fun playing in this challenge.
I have a lot of red on my card and of course flowers. I used Impression Obsession Dotted Argyle background stamp and stamped it in SU Real Red, and then matted it with a Real Red mat. The pretty blooms are from SU Two-toned Flora which is a 2 step stamp. I stamped the detail image in Real Red and then for the full image I stamped in Real Red but stamped off once before stamping over the detailed image. The leaves from the same set are stamped in Gumball Green. I used the matching dies to cut both the blooms and the leaves and glued them to a white panel cut with SU Radiating Stitches dies. I used the next to the largest die but put it back in the die and cut one end to make it smaller. I wanted more of the lovely background to show. I mounted the panel with foam tape. The sentiment is from an older SU set and I love the font in it and use it quite often. I added 3 red rhinestones to finish my card.
Be sure to check out all the Team's cards and our Guest Designers. I know they will inspire you.
I will link to the Triple B Challenge with my pretty blooms.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Oh, I love the background image you used and it looks so pretty stamped in red! This is fabulous, JoAnn!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun challenge! Your card is fantastic and I love love that background and thought it was a stencil. So pretty in red and that addition of the flowers is your master touch. I like that you used the trik to make a smaller die when you need one.
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, thank you for this fun challenge! Your card is quite striking. I love all your red!
