Fresh Vintage
We have just finished our second week (out of 6 weeks) over at Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition 2012. This week featured the incredible items in the Sale-a-bration brochure. Oh…I do LOVE the Fresh Vintage and Everyday Enchantment bundle!
I just LOVE these colors together (that are part of the Everyday Enchantment paper) and so for the color challenge, I wanted to really just focus on the colors. The best way to do this is to set it off on some Whisper White. The base of the card is 6 1/2 x 3 1/4. I took another piece of Whisper White and ran the top part through the Polka Dotted Embossing Folder. It’s a little tricky to do the longer pieces like these but if you fiddle with it some, you can get it to work! I stamped the greeting from Sweetly Said using Calypso Coral then added a piece of Old Olive 1/8” Taffeta Ribbon around it. This panel is added to the card front using dimensionals. I punch out 1” squares of Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, and Pool Party then rounded the opposite corners of each one and added to the card front. I stamped the image from the Fresh Vintage set in each of the colors, cut out, added a bronzy looking glimmer brad then added to the card front using a dimensional to finish it off!
