Lady Stamp-A-Lot: Monochromatic cards

Saturday Sketch #12

Here's a card I made - using a sketch challenge from a demonstrator training group I am in. If you are in a creative slump - following a sketch might be the thing that will get you out of it. I have been making a lot of cards using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and dies - before they retire. This card is just my style - quick and easy as well as monochromatic!

I made a stencil using the new "Meant to Bee" dies. Then I used a blending brush to add color to the white panel. I inked up the floral image from the stamp set and stamped over the blue hexagon shape. I wrapped black baker's twine around the white layer, added the greeting and layered it on a Balmy Blue layer and then a white card base.

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.

These are the first cards I made with the new 2021-23 In Color Collection. All of these colors are gorgeous in real life - and they work so well togehter. These cards show you how well the card stock, ink, ribbon, and embellishements all match perfectly!

For all of these cards, I started with a Basic White thick card base, then added a layer of In Color card stock. I cut a piece of Basic White card stock using the largest scallop rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The stamped images are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. I added ribbon and jewels to each card.

For this card I embossed the Polished Pink card stock layer using the Ornate Floral 3D embossing foler.

I did not use an embossing folder on the card on the left (Pale Papaya.) For the card on the right (Fresh Freesia) I used the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

Finally, for the dark green (Evening Evergreen) card, I used the Evergreem Forest 3D embossing folder. The greetings on these two cards are from a new stamp set called, Inspired Thoughts. The new light green color is called Soft Succulent.

I have made several more sets of cards using products from the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog - and I have an order in for even MORE new products. So be sure to check back, or sign up to be notified when I post to my blog.
