Colors to Pretty to Resist

This is a card that I made last week for SCS CC174. When I saw the challenge- Groovy Guava, Barely Banana and Chocolate Chip- I simply could not resist. The DSP, Afternoon Tea, was perfect for this combo and I teamed it up with the beautiful silhouette set, Plant Prints, by Artful Inkables. I love the versatility of this set to use with different techniques and for this particular card I combined both the rock-n-roll technique with a bit of stampin' off. I love Barely Banana but it truly is a very light color so by rolling the already inked stamp in a bit of Groovy Guava the details of the stamp really come through (Barely Banana is, also, a difficult color for me to photograph apparently, the image is a bit bolder IRL.) The background is Barely Banana CS which has been punched with a MS scalloped border punch then adhered to a piece of DSP. The entire panel was embossed via a Cuttlebug folder. I stamped off the images then stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip and framed it with a metal frame from WRMK. The butterflies are a MS punch, the ribbon is May Arts and the jumbo brads SU. A quick card but I was pleased! It's ALWAYs A Stampin' Good Time! Take care!
