We are to share our favorites in our projects for TGIF Challenges's Inspiration Challenge this week. Now favorites could mean any kind of favorite. I chose my favorite images to stamp: Leaves. (But, of course, you already knew that unless you are new to my blog.) I think I can also say that my favorite new stuff from the Annual Catalog is the entire Texture Chic Suite (#158819) This card now completes my stamping of every image in the Season of Chic stamp set (#158810, bundled with the Chic dies at 10% off, #158816). I have really been having fun with all these products. Here are the oak leaf stamped images and die cuts from the suite incorporated into a birthday card:
The background is a piece of the Texture Chic specialty designer series paper (#158808) layered with a gold dotted piece from the Sale-a-Bration Silver & Gold specialty 6" x 6" paper pack (#159941, FREE with a minimum $50 purchase during the July-August 2022 Sale-a-Bration). The two-step stamping oak leaves were stamped in Mango Melody and Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The gold leaves were die cut out of Distressed Gold specialty paper. The Chic dies set (#158816) was used to die cut all of the leaves.
The greeting was stamped in VersaMark ink (#102283) on Soft Succulent card stock and heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder (Metallics Collection, #155555). It was die cut using a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820).
A Basic White Thick card base, a layer of Mango Melody card stock, a double bow of gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766), and a few retired Gilded Gems complete the card.
Be sure and check out the TGIF Challenges Blog this week. You are going to see a nice variety of favorites!
Hope you have a great rest of your week!
