Hello

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's a new month, which means we have a new challenge at Colorful Options. This month, we encourage you to be inspired by your favorite flag colors. It may be the flag of your state, a nation, or even your preferred sports team.

I chose the flag of my homeland, Ireland, with its beautiful orange and green colors, and I will be heading there on Thursday with my family for vacation. Can't wait!!

My card features the Friendship Leafy Cluster from Simon Says Stamp. To begin, I stamped the images onto a panel of Neenah Solar White 80#. I used the coordinating stencil and colored the leaves with Distress Oxides ink - Spiced Marmalade, Dried Marigold, Lucky Clover, and Twisted Citron.

I cut my panel using the PhotoPlay Nested Stitched Scallops die set. I adhered it to a foam sheet for dimension, which was then adhered to a white card base. The sentiment is from Paper Rose Studio Hello Die. I cut the word twice on white cardstock and blended the same inks mentioned above. The shadow was then cut on vellum and adhered to the panel with foam strips for dimension. The card was completed with sequins.
