Once, again, I combined this week's Dynamic Duo color challenge with Chupa's Sketchbook Saturday sketch. I really kept this one clean and simple... I'm in that kinda mood right now. (You wouldn't know it from my Shining the Light card, though...ha!) I used a lovely set of stamps from The Craft's Meow, Celebrating You. I stamped the fuschia once using Hero Arts Punch chalk ink and trimmed out the flower portion. The fuschia was stamped a second time using SU!'s Pear Pizzazz (I don't have Lucky Limeade) and the leaves trimmed out. The flower was then assembled on the white strip and the sentiment stamped using Pear Pizzazz. The red cardstock was embossed using a new SU! embossing folder Fancy Fans. The pattern is sort of designed to look better on the horizontal rather than the vertical and I thought that it would bother me having it vertical, but I actually like it that way, too! Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; SU! Poppy Parade; Stamps: The Craft's Meow; Inks: Stampin Up! & Hero Arts; Embossing Folder: Stamping Up!
