A Bit of Embossing

Sometimes all your card needs is a little bit of embossing. I had my card designed and ready to put together and I just felt it needed something. I ran the three colored strips with an embossing folder and it made all the difference. 

My card today was inspired by three challenges. The sketch for my card came from Freshly Made Sketches #618. CAS on Friday #274 has a theme of "Just for You". The colors were provided by Colour INKspiration #158. The colors are Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party and Blueberry Bushel.

CAS Colours and Sketches #528 Color Challenge

Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my first card as a member of CAS Colours and Sketches design team. I am excited to be working with this talented group of stampers. I want to give a shout out to Deborah and Laura who are also new to the team.

We are kicking off the new year with a fun color challenge hosted by Jeanne. After seeing these colors, I immediately thought of the new Painted Lavender Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

For the color challenges, you must use all of the challenge colors provided. You can also use neutral colors, such as black, just be sure the challenge colors are the most prominent on your card. Stampin' Up names are used for reference, but you may use any other brands as long as they closely match the challenge colors listed. 

For my card I combined the lavender stamps with the Perennial Postage dies and some Berry Burst paper from the Bright and Beautiful DSP.
