You're in My Thoughts - Two Challenges

Has it really been that long since my last post?  Where does the time go???  I've been busy stamping almost every day.  Just haven't taken the time - until now - to share my creations.  Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some items from my Fall and Christmas stamp camps.  For today I'm showing you a card that was inspired from two challenges: SUO Challenges and the Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge.


The SUO Challenge was to create a "Thinking of You" card.  I've got a few "thinking of you" stamps, but my favorite is one from the Word Play set.  One challenge down, one to go.  Here's the Stampin' Queen's sketch:



I have to admit, this sketch was a stretch for me.  First, I chose the stamp sets: Word Play, Netting and Delicate Doilies.  In need of some color inspiration, I grabbed my handy-dandy Color Coach and settled for the creative combination listed for Soft Suede.  After gathering all of my materials I was still stumped as to how to combine everything.  I finally decided to stamp the two large panels to make my own designer paper (I stamped off to mute the colors a bit).  I love the Netting background stamp!  I've been using it on quite a few projects lately.  For some finishing touches, I layered the Boho Blossom punches and added pearls.  I created the bow using the fork bow method.  The card below is my final result.

Stamps: Delicate Doilies, Word Play, Netting
Paper: Soft Suede, So Saffron, Regal Rose, and Very Vanilla
Ink: So Saffron, Regal Rose
Accessories: So Saffron taffeta ribbon, Boho Blossoms punch, pearls, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!
