You Make a Difference - Weekly Crafty Color Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog today; I have a cute and quick fun fold card to share with you using the In the Country Stamp Set from the 2023 Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

In the Country Hand Made Card by Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Rick Adkins

Crafty Color Challenge:

Today's card is also my card for this week's Crafty Color Challenge. Check out this week's colors below.

Here's the colors for this weeks color challenge if you would like to play along in this weeks challenge using some or all of the colors listed above (or similar hues if you don't have the exact colors), and share it in my Facebook Business Page on the coordinating Tread with #craftycolorchallenge. I am so excited to see what you create!

For the background of my card I stamped one of the landscape images from the In the Country Stamp Set. I stamped it in Versamark Ink after using the Embossing Buddy in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit and covered it in Silver Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powders. Once heat set and cooled I used my Blending Brushes and some Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green Ink and ink blended over the background. It turned out to look like a sunrise and I loved it. I attached that to a matte made from Silver Foil Speciality Paper and Crumb Cake Cardstock. I cut each of them with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I stamped another piece of Basic White Cardstock with the the Rays of Light Background Stamp. I ink it up in Calypso Coral but added an additional ink to the design with a little Daffodil Delight.

I again matted it in some of the Silver Foil Specialty Paper before adding it to the card base made from Basic White Thick Cardstock. I then finished it off my adding a bow made from Silver thread from the Simply Elegant Trim and a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels along with a sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. I have everything listed below in the Stampin' Up! Shopping List for you to shop from.
