We are back with our second challenge of the year already! It looks like this year is going to go as fast as 2017, which is good as I’m planning on travelling to Orlando, Florida in November for a Stampin’ Up! 30th anniversary Onstage event. Bring it on!!
We have a gorgeous colour combination this week, of Emerald Envy, Bermuda Bay, Tranquil Tide and Sahara Sand.
I decided to try a new technique for my background. I had a piece of glossy white cardstock and put drops of each colour (but not sahara sand) over the card. I then spritzed it with Isocol and let the colours blend together. Because I was impatient, I dried it using my heat gun, but you could let it dry on its own.
I really love the Hold on to Hope stamp set and bundle. It was created by Million Sales Achiever Brandy Cox when she got to visit the Stampin’ Up! office.
I created the cross by cutting out the detailed cross framelit and the solid cross framelit and glued them together with the fine tip glue.
For the sentiment, I stamped on Sahara Sand and cut out with the largest stitched circle framelit.
I can’t wait to try other colour combinations using this technique.
Next up is the lovely Nicole. You are going to love her card!
Make sure you share your creation on our Facebook group, here.
Happy Stamping
