Good evening my fabulous friends! I hope you're doing well today! The ICS Blog Hop this month is all about the new 2022-2024 In-Colors. I thought I'd focus my attention on Parakeet Party. I think it's so bright and fun!
I'm using the Sending Smiles Stamp & Die Bundle for my project. I really like that double layered "SENDING" word die cut!
My card base is a standard 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4") Basic Black Cardstock. Then, I added a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Parakeet Party layer. I used the little flower cluster stamp to add a little something to the background of this otherwise stark 5 1/4" x 4" Basic White Cardstock layer. I inked the clusters in Parakeet Party and stamped them off one time each so that they were just a light background filler.
The background layer of the "SENDING" is Parakeet Party, and the foreground layer is Basic White. How pretty is it?! I just love it! Before attaching the White layer, I wrapped a length of the coordinating Parakeet Party Baker's Twine around the piece twice and then tied into a bow (set towards the left side).
I wanted a simple color scheme for my project, so I used Memento ink for the stems of the flowers. I followed it up with Parakeet Party Flowers. I stamped them onto scrap paper so I could die cut them out and pop them up with Stampin' Dimensionals. As you can see from the photo above, I also used dimensionals on the "SENDING" piece too.
It's coming together nicely now!
Once I had all the flowers and stems attached to my card, I added a few of the In-Color Matte Dots. They add a really nice pop of color!
I think I'll go back and recreate this card in all the new In-colors now! I'm curious to see how they all turn out against the black!
