Pansy Patch for As You See It Sketch Challenge #248

 

I finally got a chance to play with my 2021/22 Annual Catalogue preorder products over the last few days and I'll say a couple of things right off the bat:

1. I just LOVE the new In Colours - ALL of them! I haven't been able to say that in a few years! Can you guess my new favourite?

2. The *Pansy Petals Suite is absolutely amazing! DSP, stamps and dies are to die for!!

The first card I needed to make was my Design Team sample for As You See It Challenge #248. It's a sketch challenge created by team member Jan and it's a perfect sketch for a challenge, giving lots of room for creative ideas:

I thought I would created a background on the inner rectangle by using the blending brushes with *Soft Succulent and *Evening Evergreen, two of the new In Colours, and adding some water droplets, then I would stamp some 3 or 4 stamp pansies on a rough circle of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it out for the top of the rectangle and add a sentiment at the bottom. Here's how it turned out:

• I love how well all the new In Colours coordinate between themselves and with other members of the existing colour families, too. I have a *Pale Papaya card base and I use some *Soft Succulent gingham from the *Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper as the main background and I love how well they go together!
• The two large pansies take four steps to stamp. For the purple pansy, I used (from lightest to darkest) *Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss. On the orange one I used *Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.
• For the small pink pansy, which takes 3 steps to stamp, I used Blushing Bride, *Polished Pink and Magenta Madness. All 3 pansies have a *2021-2023 In Colour Jewel in Pale Papaya in the center and there are two Soft Succulent ones on the sentiment.
• The leaves are two step stamping and are *Soft Succulent and *Evening Evergreen. The stem for the bud I had to do some mirror stamping for using the Silicone Craft Mat.
• The sentiment is also from the *Pansy Patch stamp set and is stamped on a 1/2" wide strip of Basic White card stock.
