Zoo Babies Meets AYSI Color Challenge

Hi there!  Coming at you today with a Color Challenge from the As You See It Design Team!  We’re on Challenge #011!  Can you believe it?  Join us over at the As You See It Challenge Blog!!!

I also combined the fab color combo of So Saffron, Pistachio Pudding, and Blushing Bride with a Sketch Challenge from over at the Clean & Simple Stamping Challenge Blog.  I was so excited to use the Zoo Babies stamp set for the first time!  I also used the “it’s a girl” sentiment from Baby Prints because the sketch called for a larger sentiment.  The sentiment was stamped in Blushing Bride ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  I die cut a 2″ Whisper White circle from the Circles Originals Die and stamped the elephant from Zoo Babies in Pistachio Pudding onto it.  I also stamped the elephant again on a scrap and snipped the ear out with my Paper Snips.  Popped that up onto a Stampin’ Dimensional and stuck it onto the elephant.  I layered more Stampin’ Dimensionals between the elephant and the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (out of Blushing Bride).  I offset another one of the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punches out of So Saffron cardstock.

Otherwise the card is pretty simple.  The sentiment panel measures 3″ x 1″ and the So Saffron mat behind it is 3″ x 1-1/4″.  The 3″ x 4-1/4″ Pistachio Pudding layer was embossed with the Big Shot and the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The Blushing Bride layer behind it measures 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ and the whole thing was mounted on a So Saffron card base measuring 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (scored at 4-1/4″).  A couple of the largest pearls from the Basic Pearl Jewels finished off the sentiment panel.

This card was entered into challenges at:  Clean & Simple Stamping, Aud Sentiments, Pile It On (Big Shot, Embossing Folder, Punches, Paper Snips), Sister Act, and Through the Craftroom Door.
