From the Heart
The tragedy at Virginia Tech has resonated with everyone, and I was glad to participate in the Color Combination Challenge at SplitCoastStampers. This card will be sent to the family of one of the victims of that horrific event.
About the design: Pumpkin Pie, Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgundy were the colors featured in this color challenge. Pumpkin Pie isn’t may favorite color, so it was a challenge to incorporate it into this card without feeling like it was overdone. I settled on the background panel stamped with Well-Worn Words in Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink on Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The distressed edges are sponged with Bravo Burgundy Classic Ink as well. This fresh vase of flowers is a new design from My Favorite Things. These stamps are, no doubt, quickly becoming one of my favorite things! The lines of the image are crisp and clean, and the images lend themselves to simple watercolor using an Aquapainter and Classic Ink reinkers.
I decided to incorporate this week’s Technique Lover’s Challenge into this card as well by creating a Levi’s-inspired tab for the sentiment. Such a simple, yet impactful, touch. The card is finished with faux stitching and Print Pattern stamped on two opposite corners in Always Artichoke Classic Ink. Although certainly never enough, I hope this card is a bright spot in what will unfortunately be many dark days ahead for the victims’ families.
