Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 421 – Colour Challenge

2 Comments August 22, 2023 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a rich autumn Colour Challenge. I used the Bird’s Eye View stamp set to create mine. Our design team have created wonderful cards so, head over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments page to view them all and then join the challenge.

Here is my card created using the Bird’s Eye View stamp set and some soon to be released Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders by Stampin’ Up!

I had really wanted to use DSp for the background, but realized I do not own the Neutrals 6X6 DSP – so I had some fun with cardstock and embossing folders instead. Here is a list of materials used to create this card. The Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders are not listed below as they are not yet available. You can get them beginning Sept 6 or you can add them now to a Starter Kit.
