This month the Let’s Get Hopping Blog Hop team are showing our Love for Very Vanilla. I must admit I am more of Whisper White girl but I relished the challenge of mixing things up a bit with Very Vanilla. We do have a couple of product suites to choose from that use Very Vanilla in our catalogues. However, I thought I would try and push myself out of my comfort zone and start with a blank page so to speak.
And here is the card I came up with…
I’ve been making a deliberate effort to use items in my stash that I haven’t used in a while – hence using Wild about Flowers. We are off to various Stampin’ Up gatherings around the world this weekend and will see our brand new catalogue first-hand. I do hope this set is still in there as the flowers are so pretty and the sentiments are pretty unique – there aren’t may other sets like it. I used this particular sentiment recently on a gift for a friend who was leaving her place of work – it’s the perfect size for cards and gift tags too.
The flowers were first stamped in Powder Pink – originally that’s what I had planned. However, I wasn’t convinced and decided rather than waste cardstock while trying a different colour, I would just stamp over them first on top to see if I preferred Fresh Fig. Turns out, I quite liked the halo effect of the Powder pink – so I left it like this. You can just about catch the halo effect in the photo above.
I hope you liked today’s card and has increased your love for Very Vanilla. Do hop on to my good friend Mikaela by clicking the link below. I know she has had quite unusual inspiration for her project today, so can’t wait to see it.
Here are the products I used in my project today. Sale-a-bration may be offer for this year, but by adding this month’s Rainbow Rewards shopping code at check out, you will receive an extra little thank you gift in the post from me.
