Card of the Day - A Little Lace

Hello and welcome back! Today's card was inspired by a post in a Facebook group that I'm in. One of the members said that she had lots of stamp sets that have never seen ink and that she was going to make a card each day with a never-used set, working alphabetically through her collection, starting with retired sets. I have a feeling that would take me a really long time! But I thought I'd take up the challenge starting with current sets. (I don't know that I'll make one every day, but if I can do a couple days a week, I'll be satisfied!) My first unused set is A Little Lace. I found some design inspiration in the catalog and chose some colors from a challenge blog.

I used the coordinating dies to create the lace background and fussy cut the stamped element after coloring with Stampin' Blends. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder, then punched with the Lovely Labels Pick-a-Punch

I also added a bit of ribbon and a die-cut oval. If I were to make this card again, I might try stamping the main element on Crumb Cake. It's a little stark on Whisper White, but the colors definitely show up better on white.

This card is for the color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
