One Stampin' Mother Tucker: Notes of Kindess meets Artisan Textures

Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is off to an amazing start! At our house today it will be packed full of folding clothes, cleaning and I am sure the kids will throw some bickering in there.

This week I took the time to just create! After seeing the Fab Friday sketch yesterday, I decided to not just design a card for the sketch, but to also use the color challenge from Global Design Project as my launching point. I really don't get to play along with many other challenges, but in an effort to blog 5-7 days a week I decided to play along!

The Notes of Kindness kit is a fabulous all inclusive kit in the Annual Catalog. I don't often open a kit up and intend on using it as it is intended. The colors in this kit are some of my favorite but I wanted to try an "alternate" idea. Let me show you my card...

My card started with one of the die cuts from the Notes of Kindness Kit. The stamp set alone makes this kit one of my favorites. I inked up the large sentiment with Blackberry Bliss ink and stamped it on Whisper White card stock. Although the kit comes with a stitched square to be stamped on, I chose to use the Stitched Shapes Framelits for my stitched square. My nice piece of Grapefruit Grove DSP is from the Natures Poem DSP. I tied a nice bow with the 1/4" Copper Trim. I love a card to have some visual texture. The Artisan Textures stamp set has just the right pieces to do that. The spatter type was perfect with my Mint Macaron ink on opposite corners. Time to start finishing this up. I adhered the die cut with sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals over the DSP banner and Copper Trim. The Whisper White layer is matted on Blackberry Bliss card stock to help my sentiment pop. Without question Mint Macaron was going to be my card base! I added some of the Faceted Dots and this beauty was done!

Thank you so much for stopping in today! I have provided links to the challenges that I have entered below.
