Check out the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge this week:
While this color challenge lends itself to a patriotic design I chose another path because I couldn't wait to ink up the new Bloom for You stamp.
The base of the card is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and then the Night of Navy square is 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". The DSP is from the recently retired Fresh Prints DSP Paper Stack and measures 3" x 3" (substitute with the Brights DSP Paper stack in Real Red). Then I inked up the Bloom for You stamp in Real Red ink and punched it out with the coordinating new Fun Flower Punch. Then I stamped the same flower in Night of Navy and used the 7/8" Scallop Circle to punch out the center only.
StampinMojo Tip - this stamp comes as a wood stamp only. Before putting the stamp on the wood base, take a piece of scrap paper and punch out a Fun Flower to create a "guide" for the proper placement of the stamp on your wood block. You need to coordinate the punch and the stamp so when you stamp it is easy to align the punch without needing to cut around the flower to line up the stamp (similar to the Flower Shop stamp set). I added a small up arrow on my block so I know which way to stamp the flower to align the punch.
The sentiment comes from So Very Happy.
Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions on aligning your Bloom for You stamp on the block send me an email!
