Dynamic Duos

First I want to start out this post by saying Happy Birthday to Vicki Burdick! Vicki is part of the design team for Dynamic Duos. I didn’t notice until I started my post that the design team all made birthday cards for Vicki. Had I noticed I would have turned mine into a birthday card also.

Here are the duo colors for this weeks challenge: Calypso Coral & Blushing Bride

When Stampin’ Up! retires colors, I normally don’t keep any of the ink pads, refills, markers or cardstock. Blushing Bride was a color that retired last year and I held on to this color only because this was the closest to skin color…….so I had some on had to use! I was so excited! And yes readers, this color is returning in the new catalog!

Here is my card for the challenge:

I started out by embossing the Blushing Bride Cardstock base with the Hexagon Embossing Folder.
Next I used my Ovals Framelits Dies and cut out the scallop oval using the Calypso Coral Cardstock and adding a Whisper White Cardstock layer:

I stamped the sentiment from Blooming with Kindness and the splotch stamp from My Paper Pumpkin #1, both using Crumb Cake Ink. The butterflies were inked in Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake Inks. The addition of a few Pearl Jewels add a little bit of elegance to the overall card:

Below is a listing of the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used on my card:

• Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Whisper White
• Inks: Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
