Hello everyone! I’m here today with my first card for the a2z scrapbooking blog challenge as a design team member!! I’m so excited to be here.
Today’s challenge theme is Encouragement!
This challenge will run from August 1 to August 31! So you have an entire month to participate in this great challenge and a chance to win a $25.00 gift certificate to shop at the a2z scrapbooking store.
So with no further a due, here is my card that I created for this challenge kick off:
To create such a colorful background, I inked up Hero Arts Highline Ironwork Background Stamp with Hero Arts Butter Bar, Pale Tomato and Tide Pool shadow ink.
I rounded the corners using my corner chomper.
I loved the background so much that I didn’t want it to be overshadowed by to much stamping so I decided to stamp the flower from Hero Arts Love Jar Stamp set to the far right of the background panel in Hero Arts Black Ink for contrast.
I stamped the flower twice to give it some extension.
My sentiment is from Mama Elephant’s True Friend Stamp set. I stamped that in Hero Arts Black Ink as well for contrast.
I added Hero Arts Diamond Gemstones to the center of my flowers for an added embellishment.
I really love how my first card turned out. I hope you like it as well.
