The Spot Challenge #110 - Inspiration Challenge with Stampin' Up! Postive Thoughts

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's time for another Creative Challenge over at The Spot.  This week we have a beautiful inspiration challenge!

I loved the colors in this bouquet so I chose to make another type of floral bouquet in Pinks, White, and Wine (or in this case Merry Merlot!). 

The flowers and leaves were from the Postive Thoughts stamp set and coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies.  I thought the dotted lace ribbon added another hint to the inspiration photo without actually making this a wedding card.  I always need Birthday Cards! 

Details are as follows:

Top Folding Card Base:  Thick Whisper White Cardstock 11" x 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2" 

Front Panel: 4 1/4 " 5 1/2" Whisper White embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Emb Folder

Stitched Panel:  Whisper White cut with the Nature's Thoughts Dies

Ink:  Old Olive (leaves in background) 

Flirty Flamingo with Merry Merlot sponged on middle and edges of stamp (large flowers)

Sentiment:  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Die Cuts Only:  Small Blossom in Whisper White, Sprigs in Merry Merlot

Ribbon:  Whisper White Polka Dot 5/8" Tulle Ribbon

Embellishments:  Rhinestone Basic Jewels

SIP #110 Primary Colors with SU Colorful Seasons Bundle

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  If you're on this side of Monday, it's a good day!  I've been so busy at work lately I feel like I'm in survival mode.. every day the goal is to make it to the end of the day!   I'm sure it will be better soon but the world of Import when it comes to shipping Holiday goods is Crazy!  lol   So back to the matter at hand, it's Tuesday and that of course means it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!  This one is about Primary Colors: Red, Blue and Yellow!

So you'll have to hang with me on this one.  My hubby and I are planning a cruise at the end of October.  We tend to vacation in October or November every year because that is my slow time at work.  I have sandy beach and beautiful sunsets envisioned and that is really what keeps me going right now.  My upcoming cruise is what inspired this card using the SU Colorful Seasons Bundle.

I sponged the background onto a piece of 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" Neenah Classic Solar White 110# cardstock.  The water is Marina Mist and Pacific Point Ink, the sand is a touch of Sahara Sand, The sky is Sky Blue,  Marina Mist and Pacific Point.  The sun is Daffodil Delight.  I used full coverage post-it notes to mask off the various areas to sponge.  I cut the chairs out of SU Real Red and Daffodil Delight Cardstock.  I used my embossing buddy and then Heat Embossed the sentiment in White onto the bottom section of the cardfront.  After adhering the chairs onto the front with small dots of liquid glue, I adhered the panel onto a 3 3/4" x 5" Read Red piece of cardstock and then glued that onto an A2 Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
