Yikes…it seems so strange to be posting a Pals Paper Arts card without being on the Design Team this week. In case you were wondering, with the PPA’s return to a weekly challenge, I have moved to Weeks Two and Four. Although this is not an “official” inspiration card, I hope that it will inspire you anyway, and that you will join my Team One Pals in this week’s color challenge: Real Red, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide x 4-1/4″ long.
- Layer your labels! For a little twist, I layered Hearts A Flutter Striped Banners…one inked in Crumb Cake, the other in Pacific Point.
- Create your own background! Crumb Cake Stippled Blossoms and Pacific Point Clockworks images create a soft and beautiful background.
- Sudden impact! A Real Red Stippled Blossom, overstamped with Pacific Point, packs a dramatic punch!
Lexi, Muffy and I are hitting the road just as soon as I get this post completed. We are in Dekalb, IL this weekend. Keep your inky fingers crossed for us. Of course, I would love to hear what you think about today’s card. Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

a fantastic b.g….really stands out & reminds me of a water colored painting; good luck w/the 4-legged pals…by the way, I lost my husky, at the tender age of 16; it’s been a very sad home, without her, as she’s left a huge dent in our hearts…
