My card today is the one I did as my design team project for The Cupboard Trilogy Challenge for June. I had a hard time getting it to photograph well but this is pretty close to "real life"! I love the colors pink and gray together and this card did not disappoint! Usually I try to do something a little bit fancy for my design team project but this month I went with Clean and Simple! There's a lot of elegance in Clean and Simple:)
I used the background image in the Creative Elements stamp set to stamp on the Basic Gray card stock in Basic Gray ink. I also used the same image in Pink Pirouette to stamp on the white but used the stamp-off technique to make it very light. Pink Pirouette is a very light pink and I wanted to flowers to show up so had to make the background image even lighter by stamping-off. If you're not familiar with stamping-off, it is when you ink up your stamp, stamp once (lightly) on a scrap piece of paper and then on your card stock.
For this project I used the following Stampin' Up! supplies:
- Card Stock: Whisper White, Pink Pirouette and Basic Gray
- Stamp Sets: Creative Elements, Papillon Potpourri and On Your Birthday (retired)
- Classic Stampin' Pads: Pink Pirouette and Basic Gray
- Other: Sponge Dauber (to color in butterfly); Elegant Butterfly Punch; Basic Rhinestone
