Many thanks to those of you who played along with my CAS Weather theme last week at The Paper Players. This week, JoAnne is our hostess and she has a sketch for us. I love a sketch challenge and I really enjoy seeing how one starting point can end up with such different projects.
I thought I'd pay some attention to the 2026-2028 In Colors this week so I did something I seldom do when I'm making cards... I reached for DSP! In this case, the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns. There's a pack of this DSP in each of the colour families, but I only have this one. I chose a striped background in Peaceful Pine as the base, and a contrasting Crisp Cantaloupe dotted piece for the horizontal element.
I embossed the white panel with the retired (but much loved) Subtle embossing folder.
Then I went to work on creating the pot plant. I used the Help Me Grow dies for this, cutting a pot and saucer from Golden Glow. I added some splatter stamping in the same colour to give the pot a sense of both depth and age.
I cut the foliage from Peaceful Pine (2 sprigs) and arranged them in the pot. The flowers were cut from Crisp Cantaloupe, some with adhesive foam backing so they'd be able to pop up easily. I used a blending brush to apply a little Crisp Cantaloupe ink on some of the flowers to add variation of colour.
The sentiment is from Rolling Waves, stamped in Peaceful Pine. I trimmed the card down and angled the end. I debated about popping is up on dimensionals but didn't - some regret on that point!
The final touch was a trio of Crisp Cantaloupe dots.
