Thank you for joining us today for another Color Fusers Blog Hop. Each month we bring a color challenge to you by creating a card using the same colors. Visit the whole team to see some awesome projects in a fun color combination.
This month I chose to create using he World of Beauty stamp set and coordinating World Map dies. What a fun set! Since the color combination creates an unexpected look for the theme of these stamps and dies, I pulled in extra fun with polka dots and bows.
I created the background by sponging ink onto a polka dot Basic Patterns Decorative Masks.
The sentiment was cut with a die from the Tasteful Labels die set. I have used this set on so many of my projects lately, and it has fallen into the 'must have' category. It has quickly become my favorite label set of all time for good reason! With so many different shapes and sizes, it works for just about every single project. Plus, there is beautiful stitching and decorative edges on each die, adding just the right amount of detail.
And it was fun creating detail to the continents with Shimmery Crystal Effects.
The World Map die set has a cool embossing die included. Look at the detail on the banner layered under the sentiment. Isn't that cool?
To create this card:
- Cut a 4 1/4" x 11" Shimmery White cardstock base, scored at 5 1/2"
- Cut a 3 3/4" x 5" background layer in Coastal Cabana
- Cut a 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" Shimmery White cardstock front layer
- Cut a 1" x 3 1/2" strip of Coastal Cabana for an accent piece
- Cut a 1/2" x 2 3/4" strip of Pacific Point for an accent piece
Sponge polka dots onto shimmery white layer in Calypso Coral ink, using a Basic Patterns mask. Adhere to Coastal Cabana layer then to card front with dimensionals. Stamp globe in Coastal Cabana ink and the sentiment and globe stand in Pacific Point ink, all on Shimmery White cardstock. Die cut. Emboss the strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock with the calligraphy die from the World Map die set. Layer the Pacific Point and Coastal Cabana strips, and adhere behind sentiment. Adhere this to card front with dimensionals. Adhere globe and globe stand to card front using dimensionals. Color Basic Pearls with Blends marker, and embellish card as desired. Add Shimmery Crystal Effects to continents or other areas of the card as desired. Color white ribbon in Light Calypso Coral Blends marker, tie a bow, and adhere to card front.
