Wonderfully Great Adventure

#stampinup   This week's Create with Connie & Mary challenge is a color challenge. As usual, I don't think I'd ever have put these colors together, but WOWZA, I'm loving them!! I love the Watermelon Wonder and Soft Suede combination AND I love the Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow combinations. I'm definitely going to use these again!

CCMC398

I started this card by embossing a Watermelon Wonder panel with the World Traveler Embossing Folder, which I adhered to a Mossy Meadow panel. Next, I cut a 1.5" strip of Mossy Meadow Going Places Designer Series Paper and adhered that to the card. Then, I wrapped a few lengths of Linen Thread around, gathered them, and tied a knot. I adhered this to a lengthwise-cut Soft Suede card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the globe stamp in Mossy Meadow onto Very Vanilla and punched it out with the 2" Circle Punch. I stamped the heart in Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla and punched that out with the Sweetheart punch. I adhered each of these elements to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. (I've used this layout before...and I still really like it!)


I colored the small heart with a Watermelon Wonder Stampin' Write marker--and for a finishing touch added some Clear Wink of Stella. Love that shine! I'm glad I was able to get it to show up on the photo!
