Welcome to our very fun and talented hop! We have a color challenge today.

The Inked Botanicals 6×6 DSP is one of my favorite packs of papers. I guess it’s the clear colors.. And I like the designs too. :O) My card base is Calypso Coral 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. After scoring, I placed the piece in my paper trimmer with the short side up and cut @ 2 1/8″ to the score line. Then turning the paper longwise, I cut along the upper score line and removed the front top half. I cut two coordinating pieces of the DSP (2 x 5 3/8), adding them to the card base: one on the lower front and one on the upper inside. I stamped the leaf image from Inked and Tiled stamp set that coordinates with this Designer Series Paper, in Lost Lagoon ink on a Very Vanilla piece. Using the largest square of the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut the piece. I cut a slightly larger square with my paper trimmer from Calypso Coral and adhered the two together. I attached this square to the lower card front panel, centering it and using dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment, also from the Inked & Tiled stamp set, on a scrap of Very Vanilla in Calypso Coral ink and die cut it with another of the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it with liquid glue. I adhered three gems from Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party.

For the inside of the card, I cut a panel of Very Vanilla 2 x 5 3/8 and stamped it with the pretty single flower from Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry ink. I adhered this to the lower inside of the card. This simple flower leaves plenty of room for me to write my message.

For the envelope, more of the Inked Botanicals DSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

As I mentioned, I love this Designer Series Paper and it worked perfectly for our color challenge today. Now, time to see what others on the team have created. Click the ‘next’ button or click on a name to continue the hop.
