Think Plaid!

I am helping a fellow demonstrator and friend with a virtual stamping retreat this weekend and one of the challenges is to come up with a card using Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Sahara Sand.

Now I love all of these colors and I love creating cards, but for some reason I am color challenged when it comes to color challenges and sketch challenges for that matter! LOL

I decided that I would use the New Sweet Ice Cream Bundle in the JJ2021 Spring mini catalog, so here it goes——-presenting my color challenged card! LOL

• Begin with a Sahara Sand card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
• Use the Stitched Shapes Dies along with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out 6 of the smallest squares in Rococo Rose and 6 with Seaside Spray cardstock.
• Layer the squares in a plaid pattern on a 3 ¾ x 4-7/8” piece of Sahara Sand cardstock.
• Attach the plaid pattern panel to the Sahara Sand card base.
• Cut the smallest stitched circle from the Stitched Shape dies in Rococo Rose cardstock and the smallest scalloped circle from the Layering Circles in Seaside Spray.
• Stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink and layer the circles together.  Use a Stampin’ Dimensional to attach the greeting to the card front.
• Add an ice cream cone (Sahara Sand) and some scoops (Rococo Rose/Seaside Spray) and attach to the card front. 

I hope these card colors inspire you to create something fun and of course I would love to see your creation. Feel free to email me you card, or you can post it on my Facebook page.
