Kristina Werner Color Inspiration #43

I have wanted to participate in Kristina Werner's color challenges for some time now, but just never found the opportunity. This week I wanted to make sure I got the chance to join in the fun. I don't have the Stampin' Up colors that Ms. Werner references, but I tried to get as close as I could with what I had on hand.



Here's my card using the colors from the Color Inspiration swatches.



I started with piece of green Bazzill cardstock. I flipped it to its "wrong" side and stamped one of the polka dots from Polka Dot Basics in Burnt Umber ink. I used a scalloped punch to give the green cardstock a decorative edge and wrapped it with Summer Sunrise twill ribbon before mounting it to a piece of white cardstock with red edges (achieved by dragging the cardstock along my Pure Poppy ink pad). I mounted that piece to a blue Bazzill base and set it aside.

Then I started thinking about the focal image. I stamped the open line branch from Rustic Branches onto white cardstock (also with red edges) in Landscape ink. The Beyond Basic Borders sentiment was then stamped using Burnt Umber ink. I took a blue button and threaded it with red embroidery floss and attached it to the image with red line tape. Finally, I mounted the focal image to the green layer using foam tape.

I had a lot of fun with this color inspiration. Hope you enjoyed the card! Take care...
