I was eager to try out some new glitter embossing paste I had recently acquired, so I did a practice test on a piece of Dapper Denim cardstock and left it aside to dry. When I saw this week's Color Throwdown challenge #448, I thought I could use my sparkly background and turn it into a card. The new In Colors were also perfect to include in the mix. The design was inspired by Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #249. I looked through my stamps to find a substantial sentiment that could become the focus of the card and found what I was looking for in Balloon Adventure. I die-cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The card also features the new Decorative Ribbon Border punch and the Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven Ribbon. The texture is awesome and the ribbon is really easy to tie. At 1/2" inch wide, it's also easy to include into designs without the bow or knot becoming too bulky, and hard to slide into envelopes. I think card-makers and scrapbookers will enjoy using those new ribbons.
I hadn't used Elegant Eggplant in a long time, but doesn't it look perfect paired with the new In Colors?
