Happy Friday! I am popping in with a second card for today! For this card, I am playing along with a few blog challenges today. I am using the sketch from MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge. This combination of colors is from Colour Me! I just love these bold colors with gold metallic accenting. I am Simon Wednesday Challenge: Emboss It! Simon Monday Challenge: Mid-Summer's Theme (summer colors and HEAT embossing).
For my card I started with MFT Card Stock Sampler. I combined Black Licorice, Razzle Berry, and Lemon Drop card stocks. I die cut the Lemon Drop card stock with the background panel from Blueprints 15. I then stamped the whole panel with the word happy from the Happy Everything stamp set using Ranger Watermark ink and clear embossed it. I then die cut the Razzle Panel with Pierced Square Stax, and stamped the BG Diagonal Stripes Background stamp in black ink. I white embossed the sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings stamp set to the black licorice that I die cut using the Pierced Circle Stax. I sponged some white pigment ink for shadowing and effect. I added little tags from Blueprints 1 and Blueprints 2 cut to size using mirror gold card stock. I finished the card with gold accenting from Sequins dienamics. I used the same mirror gold card stock for the sequins. Love this look!
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
