Need a simple card with plenty of holiday dazzle? Today’s card may be the perfect fit! My color scheme was inspired by this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA182). See what else the PPA Resident Artists have dreamed up using these colors by clicking HERE.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The “vavoom” factor of this card comes from the ampersand sign cropped from Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Paper. I used the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies, which includes 4 dies with 26 letters, 10 numbers and the ampersand symbol.
- The ampersand symbol is popped up on bits of Stampin’ Dimensionals for 3-D drama!
- I used a Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up all but the “ampersand” portion of the stamp. Apply ink with the marker (the larger “paint” end) directly to the rubber of the stamp. Then “huff” a few times to get the ink evenly moist and ready to stamp.
- MEASUREMENTS from top to bottom. Very Vanilla 3″ x 4 1/4″. Elegant Eggplant 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″. Smoky Slate 4″ x 5 1/4″. Elegant Eggplant card base 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
