My inspiration for this card was the current color challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs' blog. The color scheme for the challenge is pink, ivory/white, and tan. I don't normally use pink, and so don't have a large amount of patterned paper that color. But I found two 6x6" pads in my stash: Recollections' "Valentine" and My Mind's Eye "Love Me." I used papers from each for the banners.
My design is based on this sketch by Operation Write Home:
I stamped this image from Our Daily Bread Designs on a piece of white cardstock, using a Stampabilities Light Pink pigment ink pad. I die cut the circle with a Spellbinders Classic Circles Large die, and inked around the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink.
I used Ranger Archival Jet Black ink to stamp the greeting onto a scrap of white cardstock. I pulled out my Lawn Fawn "Milo's ABCs" stamp set, since I didn't have any "ready-made" greeting stamps that would fit that piece. I did have to add the "+" and "=" signs with a black pen, since those symbols are not included in the set.
I cut the 3 banners from the Recollections & MME patterned papers, and adhered them to a piece of dark cream colored cardstock. I matted that with pink cardstock, and adhered that onto a white A2 card base. I adhered the focal panel & greeting with foam tape to help them pop a little more.
I am entering this in Our Daily Bread Designs' Color Challenge.
