There’s nothing like new Designer Series Paper to inspire you.
Someone recently asked me how do you decide what colors to use for a card.
Well, many times I pick colors that Stampin’ Up! has put together in Designer Series Paper.
The great thing is Stampin Up marks right on the bag of the packet of paper what colors are in it/coordinate with it.
For today’s card I was inspired by the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper and in particular the one pattern in the upper right hand corner.
My card starts off with Mango Melody cardstock. I then matted a piece of Whisper White cardstock on Melon Mambo cardstock.
I used the Seasonal Layers Thinlits to cut out a bunch of flowers to cascade down the card. I used all the pinks and oranges from the Garden Impressions DSP: Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Powder Pink, So Saffron, and Mango Melody.
I cut out a circle using the Layering Circles Framelits from Melon Mambo cardstock. The DSP also had a hint of Soft Sea Foam, so I used that cardstock to cut out an Adirondack chair.
Lastly I stamped the sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Mango Melody.
Enjoy!
My card was inspired by this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge. I chose my design for this challenge because summers always mean hikes in nearby mountains which happen to be the Adirondack Mountains – it’s where the type of chair in the die cut got its name – “Adirondack chair.” I also love all the bright, vibrant colors in the flowers in summer.
