more color mondays – azure afternoon, crushed curry and basic white

Back in June 2021, I posted a card that featured the floating elements technique. Today i am using a few techniques and that is one of them!

More Color Monday’s is back with a bright and cheery combination of blue, yellow and white. The look is crisp and clear and I really like this card!

The Current Hostess code is HGE4RYHW.

Measurements:
BASE: Azure Afternoon CS 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 2 5/8″
CS Strips: 1/2″ wide of varying lengths (must be
wider than the die you will be using)
Window Sheet: (must be larger than the die cut you will be using)

Using a window sheet, adhere CS strips equally spaced to the window sheet and die cut with a shape die. (There are two layers so run the die through several times to ensure that the cuts run all the way through both layers)

Place the Basic White layer under one of the Foursquare Decorative mask background plastic layers. Using Azure Afternoon ink and a Blending Brush, apply color with ink and brush until the entire surface is inked with the design.

Fold the Base card in half and adhere the Basic White layer offset on the right side center of the card front.

Place Stampin’ Dimensionals strategically under the CS strips to pop up the Floating Element on the card and place partially over the Basic White layer on the card front.
The Die will appear to “float” on the card, hence the Floating element technique. It is a very cool effect!

I added ribbon to the card for a finishing touch and this More color Monday is in the books. I hope you play along with me and push your creativity to the next level by trying a few new color challenges. Now go out and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
