This is my card for this weekÂ’s cc443. Karen is our hostess and she chose such a beautiful color combo with midnight muse, strawberry slush and pear pizzazz. Dessert is to use some kind of scallops.
I decided to do some layering of Spellbinders die cuts-this involves quite a bit of cutting. Becca Feeken makes it look so easy on her blog (lol). I used the fleur de lis die and then a square die to make my first frame. Then I used 2 labels 16 dies to make another frame. I wanted to layer under that with pear pizzazz and strawberry slush so I used 2 more square dies and cut those layers to make frames.
Created my own background with the Stampin-Up sets “secret garden” and “flower shop”. I made a mask on this layer so while I was stamping I would leave the middle open for my sentiment. I layered this panel on strawberry slush and then the card is midnight muse. My sentiment is from the SU set “whimsical words”.
I finished up this card by adding some pear pizzazz ribbon and a bow with a midnight muse dahlia.
Hope you can play along this week. You may be our next color challenge favorite. Check out the main post to see who won the award last week.
