Happy 4th of July to you and yours! Our challenge at Pals Paper Arts this week is for you to use Pacific Point, Real Red and Crumb Cake (or similar colors) to create a card. I hope you'll get out your supplies and join us!
Nautical is so on trend right now! You'll see it everywhere; in clothing, home decor, party themes and even paper crafting. Bold stripes are the perfect backdrop for showcasing the red and white life preserver embellishment. An added banner allows you to customize this card for any occasion. I think it would really make a great summer party invitation! What do you think?
Be sure to check out what my fellow Resident Artists at PPA have done with this color palette! I know you'll be inspired! Then get out your supplies and get started on your card. I can't wait to see what you create!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Delightful DozenPaper: Pacific Point, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Versamark Watermark
Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix 3" Circle die, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 3/16" Corner Punch, Heat gun, White embossing powder
Extras: Linen Thread, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals
