Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team Projects – September – Part 2

Hey!!!! You're back!!! That is awesome. Thank you.

I had to laugh at myself for this card. Stampin' Up! sends me a box full of stuff that is practically screaming FALL, and THIS is what comes out of my brain???? In all honesty, I was LOOKING for ways to showcase the versatility of this Howlstooth and Scaringbone paper, and I fell in love with the gray polka dot. I have a thing for polka dots (I get it from my grandpa). Well, I started to grab my Summer Starfruit and then I realized I did that last month… I really wanted to use the Border Banter set and the new Cotton Ribbon too……hmmmm – ok, let's go for a big Melon Mambo flower and Old Olive leaves….so even though I ADD'd a little, I LOVE how it turned out!

HA HA – I did that! Pink and Shimmery and Shiny and all! I loved covering my Melon Mambo flower in Silver Smmoch Spritz, and I kind of like the Glimmer Brad in the center too! I also sprayed some Smmoch Sprits on a sponge and sponged around the edges of the Designer Paper – although I'm not sure you can tell. I made the leaves by stamping them in Old Olive ink and cutting them out with a Heart Framelit. I snipped a little in the "innie" part of the heart, crossed it over a little to make a leaf shape, then I SQUISHED it! TA DAH!!! A leaf! Here is a close up of the flower….

So I did use quite a few things on this card, but I think it was worth it! It wasn't even really a complcated card to make, so don't let this list freak you out – ok?

Actually, I guess that list doesn't look too bad. 
So, what do you think? Can you see the versatility in the Howlstooth and Scaringbone Papers?

Hope you'll come back tomorrow to see what I have up my sleeve…
