U Are Amazing

Pin It

Today's card plays along with three challenges: the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge, the Sweet 'n Sassy Wednesday Challenge (as found on Splitcoast) which is to do reverse masking, and the  Color Throwdown.


I like the subtle colors with just a pop of Poppy!  And I always like the look of a little sponging because you can go lighter in the middle and give it a "glow" - although I should have kept the "glow" lower so "amazing" stood out!!

The sketch:

The colors:



  • Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy You
  • Paper: Stampin' Up Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride
  • Ink: Stampin' Up Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Chocolate
  • Accessories: Stampin' Up Embossing folder and flower punch, misc leaf punch, Martha Stewart glitter blue, misc red ribbon

  9. What a great take on the sketch! I love how the crumb cake takes center stage and the poppy parade just jumps off the card!
