Hello! We are back with another Countdown to Creativity post before launching our September My Monthly Hero Kit and add-ons on Tuesday, September 5th, at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Release day is Tuesday, one day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday. We’ll be here throughout the long weekend, sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as new optional add-on products that will be available on Tuesday. And don’t forget to comment on each and every Countdown post - we’ll be giving away a kit on Tuesday morning, before the kit launches! Now join Amy as she shares a card made using this month's kit.
Have you been enjoying all the Countdown To Creativity posts as much as I am? September's kit is amazing and is a great way to welcome Fall.
I managed to use a couple different ink layering color combinations for this card. Let's start with the background blooms. They seem slighted muted in color, don't they? I decided to put a vellum panel on top of it so that the single sunflower image could be the star of the show. The background sunflower blooms stamped with:
Lemon Yellow - Butter Bar - Tangerine
center
My card is 3.5 x 5.5 inches. I cut a panel from the Pool Mix Layering Papers pack in the same size and then used one of the Rectangle Infinity Dies to create a frame. The sentiment has been stamped with Cup O' Joe and Butter Bar.
The focal point is the single sunflower that has been stamped with:
Lemon Yellow - Pale Tomato - Red Royal
The center inks are the same as the background sunflowers. The stalk is:
Without the vellum panel, the solo sunflower was getting lost in the background.
Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post! We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all of the comments left across all countdown posts and announce the winner first thing Tuesday morning, September 5th, before the kit launches at 1pm Eastern. The more you comment, the more chances to win!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check back tomorrow for an additional countdown post!
I love the muted panel, looks great. I would never have thought to use the aqua cardstock,, it works nicely!
Lovely card. I love the muted sunflowers.
Gorgeous card! Love the sunflowers behind the vellum!!
This is fantastic! I love how the vellum really subdues the background and makes it just right for the card.
Love the way the vellum makes the background fade and the foreground stand out. Great job.
Amy this is lovely – I love love this sunflower TFS
Love these color combo ideas! The sunflowers are fabulous and look so fun to stamp! Awesome fall kit…. my favorite season!
I like how your sunflower pops on the non-traditional sized card. Thank you for sharing with us, Amy =)
Very pretty! The vellum is a nice touch. Love the sunflower stamp.
Brilliant use of that vellum to highlight the single image.
