Today’s card was created for my February Color Challenge. The featured colors are Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry and Shaded Spruce. This challenge was fairly tough for me; however, I had fun creating and was able to create two cards. Yay!!
Do you recognize the featured stamp set? The Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set I used is called Tasteful Textures. This stamp set can be found on p.135 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I love the sentiments and textured stamps! The Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Textures Stamp Set also coordinates with the Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Backgrounds Dies.
Wondering how I made the background? It’s super easy and always looks fabulous. I crinkled and scrunched up the cardstock really tight and opened it back up. If you do it a couple of times you get great textured cardstock that you can use as a background piece.
Thank you for stopping by Brandy’s Cards. I hope you enjoy my cards today. Be sure to let me know if you needs something or have questions. I’m glad to help!
Blessings, Brandy
