Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a super cute little card with you using the new United Through Creativity Digital Download from Stampin' Up! for this weeks creative challenge over at the Spot Challenge blog. This weeks creative challenge is a card sketch that I am sure you will have so much fun playing with. Here's a look at my card.
United Through Creativity:
Stampin' Up! is celebrating what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! The

Through Thick & Thin:
For my card today I picked the image from the digital stamps that has the apple pie and colored it with my Stampin' Blends. I used Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider, Ivory, Poppy Parade, and the Color Lifter to color the image. It was super easy to color. I just printed it off onto some Basic White Cardstock and sat down and colored away. I had the best time coloring the image. The sentiment on my card also came from the Digital Stamps and I just simply cut it out with one of the Tailored Made Tags Dies.
I simply added it to the card front with a couple Stampin' Dimensionals. To add a little more fun to the card and to go along with this weeks card sketch I added a little gingham designer series paper from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper Pack and the Pale Papaya gingham was a perfect compliment to the apple pie image and sentiment. So, to add a little more of the Pale Papaya (which is my favorite new In Color for 2021-2023) color to the card I simply matted the colored image and the designer series paper with a little mat made from Pale Papaya Cardstock.
This Weeks Sketch:
As I mentioned my card is part of this weeks creative challenge over at the
Spot Challenge Blog. And we have a super fun sketch challenge to help inspire you this week. Here's a look at this weeks sketch. The challenge closes on Sunday, May 30, 2021 at 12 pm CST. So, you have plenty of time to play along with us this week.
Finishing Touches:
To finish off my card I added some Elegant Faceted Gems and a bow made from some Pale Papaya 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon. I attached the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
