Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The 6" x 6" Designer Series Papers that are available in assortments corresponding to each of our Colour Families feature versatile patterns that are great to have on hand for crafting for all occasions. This card uses papers from the Subtles Collection.
 

A rectangle of the Lost Lagoon floral pattern measuring 2¾" x 3¾" was adhered to the top section of a Basic White rectangle measuring 4" x 4¼". A rectangle of the Calypso Coral striped pattern measuring 1½" x 3¾" was added to the bottom section of the Basic White rectangle. This panel was adhered to the middle of a Secret Sea folded card base.

A stitched hexagon was cut from Basic White Cardstock using the largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies. The two words, "thank" and "you" from the Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set, were stamped on the stitched hexagon using Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Ink. The sentiment panel was adhered towards the bottom of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added as embellishments.

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection is inspired by the centuries-old technique of mending treasured objects with lacquer and gold. The gold foil accents and rich colour palette will add a touch of elegance to your projects.
 

Three rectangles of two different patterned papers from the Kintsugi Inspirations 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper measuring 3¾" x 1 9/16" were added to a Basic White Cardstock layer (measuring 5¼" x 4"). To ensure the DSP pieces were evenly spaced, the top and bottom rectangles were adhered to the backing cardstock first and then the central piece was added. This layer was added to a folded Misty Moonlight card base.

One Misty Moonlight vase and one Basic Beige bowl were cut from the DSP sheet using the corresponding Inspiring Imperfection Dies. These were added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™. The sentiment, from the Inspiring Imperfections Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Ink and cut out using the torn label die from the same die set. The sentiment was added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Gold Flower Accents, which are also part of the same suite collection, were added as embellishments.
