Today I'm sharing a card using this week's Color Throwdown colours that was inspired by Jen B's layout over at Freshly Made Sketches:
I just loved Jen's layout this week - I could honestly have made 10 cards with it, I had so many ideas! Unfortunately I didn't have the crafting time to match - so I had to be choosy! I decided to have a play with my Humble Home bundle as it as out on my desk, so I set to work - take a look at what I came up with:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I had this idea that I wanted to make the word 'HOME' across the bottom of my card, substituting the 'O' with a punched house. Did I mention the Humble Home bundle is a punch, rather than die, bundle? It makes for super quick punched houses! I used the Mini Alphabet Dies for my letters and then punched a house, onto which I stamped the large heart from the stamp set in Real Red, so that it would highlight my embossed 'welcome' to complete my sentiment. I popped my house up on dimensionals and added a couple of hearts to my row of elements, also punched using the Humble Home punch:
I was originally going to add these pieces to a plain undecorated panel, then had a last-minute idea to stamp the 'Watercolour World' onto a panel of Balmy Blue with a tone-on-tone effect and I'm really pleased I did - I really like the subtle detail. I diecut my panel with one of the Perennial Postage Dies then added the whole thing to a white card base. Lots of the young people I know are currently planning gap years to take between completing their A Levels and starting university and I think this would make a great card to welcome them home from their adventures.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.
Enjoy your day; I've lots to do today so I'm not sure I will get time to make and share another card using this layout to share, but be sure to keep an eye out for it in future designs - it's a keeper! I'll be back tomorrow with another project for our new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches and lots of great Stampin' Up! news too. Until then, happy stampin'!
