Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers and moms at heart! Today’s trellis with flowers card reminds me so much of my own mother. She loved flowers, having been blessed with the greenest of green thumbs. Besides beds of iris, tulips, roses and more, she had more than one trellis with flowers vining up its length. She has been gone for 45 years, but I love honoring her memory by posting a card I know she would have cherished. Happy Mother’s Day, Momma! I am thinking of you…
It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! I have the pleasure of hosting this week’s Color Challenge, a fun trio of spring colors: Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, and Lost Lagoon. Neutrals like white and black are “free”. While these are Stampin’ Up! hues, colors close to these are certainly acceptable. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Sometimes when dealing with color, keeping it simple is best. An abundance of white allows the challenge colors to take the spotlight. Berry Burst blossoms with Lost Lagoon leaves trail along a trellis of white, backed by Bubble Bath pink. The subtle color variation in the leaves and flowers is because of the designer papr I used: Beautiful Bokeh for the flowers and Thoughtful Journey for the leaves. While I usually opt for a more subtle textured background, the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder adds bold contrast to the delicate trellis and flowers. All that was needed to finish off this card were pearl centers for the blooms and a lovely sentiment. And you know what? No stamps or inks were used in creating this versatile card. The blossoms, vines and trellis were created with the Linked Together dies and the sentiment is from the Greetings for All ephemora pack. How easy is that? If you love this look, please don’t hesitate to purchase the Linked Together dies while you still can. They are on the Last Chance list and marked as Low Inventory.
