Time for another Embellish Color Challenge... to use the colors pictured above along with a decorative border (punched, die cut, decorative scissors), check out the details here. Our sponsor for this week is the fabulous Verve Stamps and you've got to check out the prize... by participating you have a chance to win four gorgeous Verve stamp sets!Here's my take...
The stamp set used is Verve's Everlasting Life, such a gorgeous set! I use two different sized scalloped borders, which were die cut using the new PTI Scalloped Borders Dies (LOVE these!!!), in Sweet Blush and Lemon Tart cardstock.
The cross was stamped using Spring Moss ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder, for a bit of elegance. Attached a couple Melon Berry buttons, tied off with white silk ribbon, to the scallops.This second card was created using Miracles Blossom...
Using a cheery color combo of Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, New Leaf, Dark Chocolate & White. The scallops were cut using the Small Scalloped Border Die.
An Aqua Mist cardstock strip was stamped, in New Leaf, with Background Basics: Tin Types. I am really loving the look of the New Leaf on Aqua Mist! Stamped the sentiment (from Everlasting Life) in Dark Chocolate, then emphasized it with a New Leaf cardstock strip. Finished the card off by adding a few layers to the Lemon Tart tulips, for a bit of fun dimension.After creating both of these cards, I am definitely ready for Spring! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you give this challenge a try. I can't wait to see what you all create!
