PPA 289
Howdy!
This PPA Challenge is a color challenge. It calls for Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, and Pink Pirouette; and, though I LOVE this color combo, I really wasn't sure what to do with it. In the end, I decided since it was a very happy, springy combination that I wanted the final card to reflect that. My little sister/cousin recently broke up with her first love and is understandably feeling a little down. This card is for her : )
I decided to do a creative fold card to give it a little extra "somethin-somethin". I used Pear Pizzazz cardstock for all the folding bits. I complemented this with DSP from the Love Blossoms DSP Stack.
I decorated the very front with Night of Navy flowers punched with the Petite Petals Punch and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack flower. I used Pear Pizzazz Candy Dots in the small flowers and Blushing Bride Candy Dots in the larger flowers.
I stamped my sentiment from You're So Lovely in Versamark ink on Pear Pizzazz and topped that with white embossing powder (don't forget the Embossing Buddy!). After heat setting the sentiment, I punched it with the the Extra Large Oval Punch. I backed the sentiment with a piece of Night of Navy punched with the Decorative Label Punch. I cut the label in half and trimmed the center points away, so that I could extend the shape and get more Night of Navy in the card. I used dimensionals on the oval, but put the modified Decorative Label directly onto the card with a bit of snail.
If you would like to make a card with folds like this, you'll need these pieces:
Base cardstock: 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"
Front cardstock: 3 1/4" x 9" scored at 4 1/2"
Base DSP: 4" x 5 1/4"
Side DSP: 2 1/2" x 4" (two if you want to decorate the inside)
Front DSP: 3" x 4 1/4" (two if you want to decorate the inside)
Thanks so much for visiting!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, Jessica! The fold is wonderful, and I love how you've used the sweet Candy Dots on the blue flowers. Love it! Thank you so much for playing along with this week's Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge!
