Full of Life (for CSF 818)

Today’s Create With Stamping Friends challenge is a color combination that I love! Highland Heather, Blueberry Bushel, and Summer Splash are so pretty together. I found a pack of DSP in our new catalog that shows all these colors and more in what I think looks like a paint swatch book or palette. It’s called Full of Life! I cut a 5″x 1-1/2″ piece of it to be my inspiration. First, let’s look at the color challenge:

Here’s my card:

Here are all the details:
  • Blueberry Bushel Cardstock base
  • Full of Life DSP, approx. 5″x 1-1/2″
  • Basic White Cardstock, 5-1/4″x 1-7/8″ for the mat, 3-1/2″x 1″ for the sentiment strip cropped with Stylish Shapes Dies, 2″ circle cropped with Crafting With You Dies
  • Highland Heather Cardstock for embroidery hoop, Crafting With You Dies
  • Silver Foil for the embroidery hoop screw
  • Crafting With You Stamp set for the sentiment and the flower image
    • I stamped the sentiment with Blueberry Bushel ink.
    • For the flower image, I colored directly on the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers in Highland Heather, Blueberry Bushel, and Summer Splash.
  • Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels mimic French Knots in the centers of the flowers.

    Sew cute! The colors are a great combo and I really like how you used the DSP. Looking forward to getting my paper next week so I can play. I have been a life long needle worker si this really touched me. The last few years I haven’t done much in this art but now I want to make this card for my bestie needlework friend. She would love this.
