more color mondays – petunia pop, summer splash and shy shamrock

This More Color Monday color challenge I wanted to play with some of the new In Colors and I thought it would be fun to show you a little of my creative process.

I knew that I wanted to use the Spotlight on Nature so I stamped and colored with Stampin’ Blends a few of the images from the set. I used the Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock for the flowers and Petunia Pop and Summer Splash for the butterfly.
I die cut a few of the Spotlight on Nature dies these are awesome concentric circles with different patterns around the rims! I love them!

I cut a couple different card bases and laid out the die cut items on the base to see which I liked – I liked them both it was a difficult choice but I ended up mounting the card with the Shy Shamrock card base.

I added Petunia Pop ribbon to the left-hand side of the card base and adhered the items onto the card.
I added some In Color dots to the finished card.
I set the card out to photograph and I just thought it needed a little more contrast!
So I pulled everything up and added a 2″ piece of embossed Basic White paper to the right-hand side. This is the 3D Swirly embossing folder another larger format EF! I love it!
And I liked the final decision! What do you think?
Sometimes you just need to add a little contrast and sometimes you just need to let it be! 22 years as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator has given me the confidence to know the difference! Looking for a demonstrator to teach you more about the art of papercrafting – I would love to help you learn!

Now it’s your turn to go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
