Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 


Today we have a color challenge. Although the sketch shows Garden Green, we could also use Evening Evergreen and we had to pick at least 3 colors. Can you guess what I chose?



Ha, the overachiever picked 6...lol! Here's Evening Evergreen! 
Sunday Stamps Weekly Challenge has a sketch for this week...
and that inspired my design. My aim was to create a pocket full of joy! There are a couple of songs out there about a pocket full of joy but I'll spare you that and just show you my card!!

My card base is Basic White cardstock. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow Specialty DSP (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") to the front. That is Evening Evergreen.

Next I cut a piece of Painted Christmas DSP (3 1/4" x 5") that I cut with a die from the Basic Borders Dies. I adhered it to the front with liquid glue. The colors in that are Real Red and Garden Green.

Then I cut another piece of the Lights Aglow (3 3/4" x 3/4") and adhered that with liquid glue. That piece is Cherry Cobbler.

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and I punched it out with the Double Oval Punch. I sponged the edges with Mossy Meadow ink. The dot over the "j" is a Classic Matte Dot that I colored with my Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends along with the other two.

I made a bow from the Simply Elegant Trim pack, using the Silver. I didn't like the gold with it. I adhered that to the card front with a glue dot and then adhered the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside, I adhered a 4 1/4" x 1/2" strip of Lights Aglow DSP. The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow and is stamped in Evening Evergreen.


I like this card because it can be used for any religion and it is seasonal. All humans need joy, hope and light, right? I know where mine comes from but not everyone embraces the same faith.
