This week over on the DCM blog it's Miri's turn to set out colour challenge, and she has chosen this lovely palette called mental vacation:
I feel like I could definitely do with a mental vacation this weekend, counting down the hours until work is over as it's crop night tonight, then I am off to Zoe's for a sleep-over visit and Monday I am hoping for a day of reading/crafting. :)
It doesn't look like our weather will be anything close to what's in that photo, I just hope it stays dry and warm.
Here's my card:
Stamps: WPlus9, PTI
Dies: Lawn Fawn, WPlus9, PTI, MFT
Enamel dots: Basic Grey
Other: 3D foam
I am currently loving the trend of embedded die cuts and this lovely hello die by WPlus9 works so well as you don't have lots of essential pieces to stick back in. Cut the stitched journaling card twice from rustic cream cardstock so it would create the perfect background for when I came to cut the hello out of the top card.
You will no doubt be seeing this combination a few more times from me!
But back to the topic, there are some really stunning variations on this colour palette from the design team, so do make sure you check them all out!
Happy Bank Holiday weekend!
Love that idea of embedding the die cut. I must try this. Lovely card. Like all those stamps and dies too.

That's a beautiful card. Your embedded die cut looks great ... I'm wondering if it only works with text?!

Love the embedded die cut, I've ordered some word dies to have a go at that myself - I think it's really effective. I love the layout of your card too, just fab x
