Flowering Desert - TGIF Challenges Color Challenge - TGIFC201

March 1, 2019
TGIFC201.jpg

Rabbit, Rabbit (as my friend Lori would say)! Happy first day of March. With Spring just around the corner the color combo for this weeks TGIF Challenge couldn't be more fitting. Doesn't this card feel like spring in the desert? Or how I imagine a desert spring might look? All my Arizona & Nevada friends, what do you say?

Google is my friend and helped with the curiosity. I’d say these combos are a pretty good match to our TGIF challenge color combo. Photo credits or original photo source is noted by each photo link.

The stamp set used on this card is called Flowering Desert and it just might be my favorite stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog. It’s super easy to stamp with and to create unique little scenes. In fact, this card is ALL ABOUT the stamping. Outside of the sequins the entire scene is created using the stamp set.

Want to play along with us and show us what you’ve made using this color combo? We’d love to see it. Check out the TGIF Challenges blog for more inspiration and challenge details. Thanks for visiting!

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
