Hello! This card was inspired by a couple of challenges, but also so I could put to use the only stamp set I bought during Simon Says Stamps annual “Stamptember” promotion. I could have easily found many others, but I was feeling a little guilty from all the things I bought during the Labor Day sales!
I first looked at the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches (#439), and since I knew I was going to use the flowers I thought the challenge over at Color Hues (#27) was a good combination.
The QUICK and SIMPLE details: I didn’t even realize I had flipped the shapes on the sketch when I adhered them to the card base, so that meant a little improvising my original plan. However, since that is kind of the purpose of a sketch (to give you inspiration to make it your own) I didn’t start over. The stamp set is called “You Are Next Level Amazing” and it was made by Pinkfresh Studio. I colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. The sentiment is also from the same set.
I would like to join in these additional challenges:
Cupcake Inspirstions #529 – anything goes
Time Out Challenges #197 – quote
