Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! Today’s hop is filled with projects inspired by the Stampin’ Up!’s retiring 2015-2017 In Color Collection – our tributes to Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. What fun! We’ve really enjoyed playing with these amazing colors over the past two years – and we are excited to share our creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My card today uses my three favorites from the retiring colors; Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. Here’s my card:
Here’s the scoop:
- Watermelon Wonder is the card base.
- The stamped image is backed with a piece of Tip Top Taupe.
- The Definitely Dahlia background stamp makes this Clean and Simple Card elegant
- The dragonfly from Dragonfly Dreams was made in 3 quick steps First, I took a baby wipe and picked up ink from my Watermelon Wonder Stamp Pad lid. Then I swiped the baby wipe across a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. Next, I stamped the dragonfly in VersaMark and Watermelon Wonder and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Finally, I die cut it using a Detailed Dragonfly Thinlet.
- The sentiment from Dragonfly Dreams was stamped with VersaMark and Tip Top Taupe and embossed with clear embossing powder.
- A sprinkling of pearls in different sizes completes the card.
