SC 085/13 & DD # 65 : STAMPIN' UP!'S BEAUTIFULLY BAROQUE

As I'm uncharacteristically organized for my class tomorrow (usually there's last-minute prep happening!), I have been able to have some play time in my craft room tonight.

I've made a card that fits the bill at two of my favourite challenge sites - this sketch, at Sunny Challenges & Creations ...

.... and this heavenly colour combo at Dynamic Duos:

I think these soft colours would be beautiful for an engagement or wedding card, so that's what I set out to make.  Here's the end result:

 

Stamps: Beautifully Baroque

Card: Pistachio Pudding, Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride

DSP: Pistachio Pudding Patterns Designer Series Paper

Ink: Pistachio Pudding and Blushing Bride stampin' pads

Other: Deco Labels Collection framelits, Expressions thinlits (available 29th August), Basic Pearls, Blushing Bride Chevron Ribbon, Fancy Fan embossing folder, stampin' dimensionals, two-way glue pen

 

 

 

JAI #175: STAMPIN' UP!'S BEAUTIFULLY BAROQUE

This week's Just Add Ink challenge is to use this sketch as the basis for a card or other papercraft project:

 

 

I used the sketch to make a special milestone birthday card (the 'number' is stamped inside the card) for a dear friend who is a little partial to pink.

 

I was keen to use my new Beautifully Baroque embossing folder with Primrose Petals Core'dinations cardstock, so that was my starting point.  My trusty Color Coach tells me that Pink Pirouette pairs well with Primrose Petals, so I went with that!

 

Here's the card, featuring the lovely embossing folder and matching Beautifully Baroque stamp (one of my favourites from the new Stampin' Up! catalogue):

 

 

 

... and the inside, simply decorated, and ready to be written in:
