DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #184 - Color My Challenge - Layering Love

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Color My World" challenge using the sketch below as inspiration. Don't forget to scroll down to visit the other Stars creations for this week.

 

 

 

 

 



First,  I must say this is a totally CASEd card from Rosanne Mulhern, a super talented card maker, that I found on  Pinterest.   It was love a first sight and I knew I had to give it a try with this color combo.  I really do not like to work with Basic Black, unless it is ink but I decided to make the black standout instead of being an accent color in this card.  The sentiment is embossed and I softened the edges of the top layer with a Timeless Textures stamp and Whisper White ink. I am extremely happy with the results.   Tomorrow I will be showcasing this card in my card class, can't wait to see the color combos the girls come up with.   Who doesn't love Pinterest. 

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamp/s: Layering Love, Petite Petals, Timeless Textures
Ink: Versa Mark, Whisper White
Die Cuts: Lots of Labels Framelits
Punch: Petite Petals, Bird Builder (retired)
Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Tombow Mono Glue, Dimensionals, White Perfect Accents
