#TGIFC123 Color Combo Challenge and WCBH – Step It Up! Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest

 Happy Friday! I have ANOTHER two for one week for you. Last week it was #tgifc122 and Fancy Friday, this week it is #tgifc123 and the We Create Blog Hop! I love the color combo for tgif this week, so I thought it would be great to show how you can use this fun color combo to inspire you to create a card that is easy to "Step Up!"

 A few weeks ago I pre-ordered a great new Stampin' Up! Set that is NOW AVAILABLE!!! It's called Painted Harvest. I hadn't had an opportunity to use it until this week, but my goodness, what a gorgeous set! 

 The two cards are very similar, the first one being a great, fairly quick and simple card.

 I stamped the sunflower image in Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango, then cut it out. That was the hardest part of the card. It really was an easy card. After I placed it on the Soft Sky Square I cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

 I made just a few adjustments for the "stepped up" version - 

 I added a little interest to the background by randomly stamping the sentiment in Peekaboo Peach ink on the coordinating cardstock. I decided to play off the watercolor look of the main image by creating a simple watercolor wash on some Shimmery White cardstock to go behind the sunflower. I also added a few of the tiny black sequins from the Mini Sequin Trim. not a lot of changes, but a BIG impact!

 Please enjoy the rest of the blog hop – Lynn is up next, can't wait to see what's she's come up with.
