Morning!
It’s a new elemental inspiration challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week, and here’s the image Shabneez chose as inspiration:
The three elements I went with were citrus fruit, a riff on the colour palette using aqua blue in the background, and a group of three elements (like the bananas):
Stamps: The Stamp Market – Citrus Vine (r)
Dies: The Stamp Market – Citrus Vine (r), The Stamp Market – Jumbo Tag
I started out by die-cutting and then stamping all the Citrus Vine elements using the inks listed below on white cardstock.
I really wanted those lemons to pop and there’s a book cover that always catches my eye when I see it recommended on audible, it’s the cover for Simple Pleasures by Claire Chambers which features bright oranges against a teal background.
So I grabbed some Tropic Teal cardstock to run through my Big Shot with the Jumbo Tag die. I also cut the sentiment from that die set in the bottom left corner and added some white cardstock behind it and for the hole reinforcer.
The blue really pops against the pink cardstock which matches the pink I’d used for the first ink layer of the flowers, so that’s what I used for my base.
And there we go, card done.
Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
