Stampin' Up! Amazing You

Woo Hoo! I found challenges where I could use one of my favorite color combos, plus an easy sketch, and yet another for a theme. Take a look see...
For the color combo, I chose the first Tic Tac Toe challenge that Try Stampin' On Tuesday has offered. 

 
I chose the top line across: black, die cut, pink

For my sketch, I am linking my card to SIP Challenge 133 – Sketch!

The theme is from Shopping Our Stash #337 - Getting Sentimental. The sentiment had to be the focal point of the card.

My card base is Powder Pink. The strip was cut from the Petal Passion DSP and I sponged it with Powder Pink. I cut out a rose from that same package of DSP, using a die from the Stitched Shape Framelits. Then I sponged it and the edge with Powder Pink. I colored the rose with my Light and Dark Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends and adhered it to where it looked like the stem was part of it.

With my Big Shot, I die cut the sentiment in Basic Black cardstock three times. I glued all three together and adhered it to the card front. The "celebrate" die is exclusive to the Sale-A-Bration promotion. You can find info on that if you'd like by clicking on the tab at the top.

I wanted to keep the card clean and simple but it still looked a little bleak so I added one tiny black rhinestone. Card front done!

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from another Sale-A-Bration item, the Amazing You stamp set. Before I stamped it, I sponged the Whisper White mat with Powder Pink and stamped the ray of sunshine as well. Once I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black, I adhered the piece to a black mat, which in turn was adhered to the card base.



Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have some time to visit the above challenges.
