I used the Stampin’ Up! Apple of My Eye stamp set to create my card to share today. When I planned to use this color scheme, the only thing that I could see was pink grapefruit…hope that’s what it looks like to you all!
My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #229.
The colors for my card were inspired by Pals Paper Arts PPA293.
The pink on my card was also inspired by The Card Concept #51. I think that my card fits the clean and layered category.
I started by stamping the leaf images from the Apple of My Eye photopolymer stamp set in Mint Macaron ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. I added the sentiment to that panel in So Saffron ink.
I adhered the stamped panel to the right side of a panel of Blushing Bride card stock with SNAIL, then adhered a strip of So Saffron DSP from the Subltes DSP Stack with SNAIL to the left side of the panel. I adhered a strip of Blushing Bride card stock over the seam where the papers came together with SNAIL, then adhered the layered panel to a So Saffron card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the fruit image from the Apple of My Eye stamp set in Blushing Bride ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock three times and I punched the images out with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch. I adhered the circle punches to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I pulled a strand of Whisper White Baker’s Twine through a So Saffron button from the Subtles Designer Buttons pack, tied a bow and adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.
I stamped the images from the Apple of My Eye stamp set in Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card. I did punch a mask from a Post-It Note with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch that I placed over the fruit image when I stamped the leaves.
