Welcome to the March Creation Station Blog Hop! Whether you have just hopped over from the talented Yvonne's blog or are starting here, I'm glad you are visiting today. We have a fun and versatile theme this month: Outback-Outwest. You are going to see images from the American West, the Australian Outback, cactus, natural pods, earthy elements, and lots of other natural images. Enjoy all of the inspiration we are sharing with you by clicking on the link at the end of each blog to hop over to the next blog. It's going to be a fun journey!
For my post, I am featuring the Enjoy the Moment stamp set (#154452). My projects were inspired by the Spring 2021 Crate & Barrel catalog, which is full of warm neutrals with textures and pops of color.
My neutrals are Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Whisper White. My textures are from watercolor paper (#149612), watercoloring, color spritzing, In Good Taste Elements (#152476), Linen Thread (#104199) and two embossing folders: Subtle 3D (#151775) and Tasteful Textile 3D (#152718). My pops of color are Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.
Both this first card and the next card use labels from the Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886). The white label in the first card was created with Whisper White card stock and the Banners Pick a Punch (#153608).
A Quick Tip: If your watercolor background curls as it dries, use Seal+ adhesive (#149699) to adhere the the watercolor paper to the background card stock. It will keep the watercolor paper and the background flat on your card.
This last card is a 4-1/4" square card. I just had to use Granny Apple Green with Early Espresso. It's nostalgic. It is a combo used in the Crate & Barrel catalog and a fashion combo from my youth. As I was shopping with Katharine in the 90s, I saw this color combo returned in patterns from my past. I told Katharine at the time, "This is ugly deja vu." The combo doesn't look so bad in ink and paper but you'll never see me wearing it!
I hope I've inspired some new ideas for using your seed pods stamp set. I know you'll be inspired by Julie's post. She's up next.
Beautiful cards with this set Sara! Great job! x
