Jackie Rockwell is sponsoring a challenge at her blog to make cards using each of the 10 Pantone colors of Spring 2013. The winner will win a free custom blog header design. Who wouldn't want that? I've seen a few that Jackie has designed and they are fabulous. The card I"m posting today is for the Nectarine challenge.
Another stamp set I bought with my PTI gift certificate was the one called Meadow Greens. I love Queen Anne's lace and these airy blossoms look great stamped in white on almost any color. In this case I stamped them on nectarine. I thought it would make a good sympathy card so I used a sentiment from My Pink Stamper. I'm also entering this in My Craft Spot's challenge - Get Well or Sympathy card.
I also have a card for a new-for-me challenge - the one inspired by pictures on Pinterest and of course it's called Pinspired.
The inspiration:
My card:
I knew I didn't have stamps that could be used for a background so I went with designer paper from Crate Paper that had some of the same colors. For the sentiment, I stamped a strip of vellum with a stamp by Hero Arts and embossed it with gold powder.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Please leave a comment and I'll be sure to return the favor.
Have a glorious day!
