Stampin Up Garden In Bloom in Sahara and Black

Hi stamping friends, my share today is created with the Stampin Up Garden in Bloom in Sahara and Black for the Happy Stampers Weekly Blog Hop Challenge

We have a color challenge this week!  I must say, I found this one extremely difficult, I’m a “Brights” kind of gal, LOL…you may have noticed!… LOL…

Sandi’s Tips & Tricks:

• This is a super easy, 10 minute or less card that looks lovely in just about any ink color, but for today, we are limited to Sahara Sand and Black….
• Stamp the large flower in Sahara Sand and then use the two step outline stamp and stamp that in Memento Black.
• I also stamped an additional flower on a scrap of Whisper White and cut it out so I could use it as an overlay.
• Stamp the leaves in just the outline also in Memento Black.
• I took the small ink splatter stamp from Timeless Textures to add some “background noise”
• Mount the art piece to the mat and then to the Thick Whisper White card base.
• Stamp the sentiment on the strip of Sahara Sand and attach it to the card front.
• Use a Dimensional to attach the cut out flower.
• Embellish with some Neutral Candy Dots.

Now it’s time to go and see what the rest of the Happy Stampers Designers have come up with for this week’s challenge.
