Sometimes an idea for a card just pops into my head and says “Let’s go!”
- Stamps: Big Wish (Occasions 2014 Catalog)
- Color Palette: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Raspberry Ripple, Crushed Curry
- Accessories: Raspberry Ripple Stitched Ribbon, Big Shot, Polka Dots TIEF, Dimensionals, Sponge Daubers
I confess, I used markers for these images. The card in my head insisted. That big funky “B” wasn’t taking kindly to the markers though, so I used the FFIP (Firm Foam Ink Pad) with a sponge dauber. You get great ink coverage with daubers on rubber!
This ALMOST became a 3×3 note card, but I have plenty of those right now and I know I’m gonna need birthday cards.
I liked the idea so much I made a second card – oh, am I going to miss Gumball Green when it exits to make room for a new set of In Colors! It’s paired with Primrose Pink and Soft Suede.
You guessed it – one more card (yes, it’s a full card, I’m just showing you the best part). Gumball Green with Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit. I’m going to miss that stitched ribbon too – maybe Stampin’ Up! will bring it out in a new set of colors, but right now it’s only available in the 2012-2014 In Colors. I have a sneaking suspicion it will disappear, so I’m stocking up.
Do you have a favorite combination? I do, and I’ll bet you can guess which one it is – but I’m not telling. At least not now.
Big Wish is full of trendy images – cake pops, macaroons, and of course, that funky font. Have some fun with it!
