My card today is inspired by 2 different challenges. Just Us Girls has a fabulous mood board with gorgeous colors and Just Add Ink's choose two...leaves, flowers, pots. I went with leaves and flowers! Look at that dramatic background!! This one came out better than what I thought it would look like in my head! It starts with a Basic Black card base and then all the magic (not really) happens on a piece of Basic White. I used colors from the mood board and blended them in a diagonal across the panel with blending brushes. Then I stamped the new Leaf Collection background stamp in Versamark right over the top the of the ink blending and embossed it in black. The leaves are so shiny in person and are really quite a cool look. After making the background panel it took me a bit of playing around to come up with something that didn't cover too much of the leaf pattern. I decided on just embellishing a sentiment with some flowers and leaves. The two circles are cut with the Stylish Shapes dies and the new Simply Said stamp set is used to emboss the 'birthday wishes' in black to coordinate with the background. Also it just pops off that Basic White. I sandwiched a piece of retired Pool Party ribbon between the circles before adhering it all to the card front. The little flowers and leaves are part of the Country Birdhouse die set and I just cut a variety and then adhered them around the sentiment. The two center flowers are popped on dimensionals and embellished with gems. Current items used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE. Items marked with * will be available starting May 1, 2024 with the release of the 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

Friday means new challenge time at Just Add Ink & this week's challenge is to just add typography, which I'm excited to say was suggested by me. One simple definition of typography is "the practical and artistic arrangement of type and printing with type". So, I thought it would be fun challenge to make a project that uses words, text or type in a practical & creative way. So....this is what I made... (click on the pic for a bigger version) My starting point was to use one of the quotes or sayings from the Feel Goods stamp set. I love both the sayings, font choice & layout, so it was perfect for the challenge. Reading the sunshine quote gave me an idea to cut a sunburst background using the text paper in our new 12x12 paper stacks & my card came together from there. I heat embossed the sentiment with versamark & white embossing powder on so saffron card, cut it out with an oval framelit & added a little so saffron sponging to help make the sentiment pop. Then I mounted it onto some vellum card & pierced a border. You can see the glossy image better in this pic. Once I'd pieced the background & added the sentiment panel (popped on dimensionals), I wanted to add a final little touch so I added some tiny gold embossed butterflies from Papillion Potpourri Sunburst background template The sunburst background with text paper enhances the typography theme. I could have made the background using the sunburst template & instructions I shared in this post. However, as I wanted the text on the paper to remain horizontal, I drew up a paper template using the same process. I used this template to cut out the so saffron card & DSP together so the pieces would be exactly the same size. Keep them all aligned so you know how they go back together. I sponged each piece lightly with so saffron ink to add a little more depth. From this point, the actual sunburst piecing is the same as described before so see these instructions. Alternate glueing a piece of card, then a piece of dsp onto a thin backing sheet of scrap paper until you have completed your sunburst. You'll be able to make two full sunbursts. I mounted the sunburst background onto some soft suede (which played beautifully with the so saffron - who knew) & a so saffron base. Good news - I've drawn up a template for you to save you time & effort. Just save the image below & print it. The actual template should print at 10.5 x 14.8cm (a quarter A4 sheet, ie normal card front)... hopefully if your computer is behaving. Tip: If you want to make your pieces bigger, just extend each of the cutting lines, or enlarge it when printing. A request: please link back to this post rather than posting the template image pic on your own site, so others can see the original inspiration. You're also welcome & encouraged to pin it so you can find it later too. Thanks Alternative gold version I also tried using a gold sentiment on the card, but I liked how the original white embossed version worked so nicely with the white text, more. I thought I'd share it here anyway & you can make up your own mind. So, that's my take on Just Add Typography. Now check out what the whole design team made too & I'd love you to try the challenge too. Thanks for visiting today & I hope you're inspired to have a play with some words or type of your own. Leave me a comment if you liked my card or if you'd like more info on anything. Remember to pin it for later too.
