More is More

When I got home from work today, I checked out the Color Challenge on SCS (CC239).  Mellow Moss, White, and Kraft or Sand…it just sounded yummy and I had to try it.  I started thinking about it while I watched some of DWTS from last night on DVR.  By the time I got into my stamp room, I had the card almost completely designed in my head and it went together pretty quickly.

I started with a standard sized Kraft cardstock base, but then cut it down by .25″ on the bottom and  right side so it could be mounted onto a Mellow Moss panel 4.25″ x 5.5″.  I used the Fiskars Threading Water punch down the side of the kraft and then inked it with white craft ink direct to paper.  I loved how that punch has the same design element as the cake plate from On a Pedestal.  It’s a little hard to see in the photo, but I used a scallop rectangle nestie to just emboss a pattern into the front of the kraft card base and then outlined it with a white gel pen.  I stamped the images in craft ink (white, mellow moss and real red).  The sentiment is from a retired SU set and it’s also stamped in white craft ink.  Some mellow moss taffeta ribbon and 3 Taylor’s Tiny Twinkles finish off this super simple design.  I’m lovin’ it!  🙂  I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by.
