Hi There! I hope your week is off to a fantastic start! Let me tell you that this week's Challenge #102 at The Spot gave me quite the challenge. I honestly didn't think I owned one current Stamp Set that had "luck" anywhere in it. Well luckily, I was wrong.. that goodness!
I literally flipped through the entire 2019 - 2020 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog, page by page until I finally found it.. Love what you do! I was sooo happy! I paired it with the super fun Special Someone stamp set for this little cutie....
The ink blended background was sponged with Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Gorgeous Grape Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. Once I had it blended, I spritzed it with just a little bit of water and dabbed a paper towel over it. I dried it with my heat tool and then used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out a panel. I cut a larger panel of Basic Black to matt the ink blended top layer. I already had the idea of using 4 of the little heart shaped ballon images to look like a four leaf clover so why not use the other images in a Special Someone as well. The balloons were stamped on Whisper White Cardstock with, of course, Call Me Clover since this was a Good Luck challenge. I stamped my racoon in Smoky Slate with Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the top layer, the Squirrel was stamped in Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate and the Mouse was stamped in Sahara Sand and Gray Granite. The sentiment and two little butterflies were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. The ink blended background was sponged with Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Gorgeous Grape Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. The grass was cut in a scrap of Call me Clover Cardstock and the flowers were cut with a scrap of Purple Posy Cardstock. I used a light Blackberry Bliss Blend to dot in the center of the flowers. Once I had my scene all built and matted on black, I added it to a card base of Call Me Clover Cardstock. I was honestly really happy with how this one turned out. I hope you like it as well! If you are interested in any of the products used, they will all be listed below.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings, Tina
