At the end of the first week of the Online Summer Card Camp we were given a whole set of color combinations to consider.
I like the third combo and wanted to try the selective inking technique Jennifer McGuire showcased on last Tuesday. I chose one of the Papertrey Ink “Stylish Sentiments: Birthday” stamps, and masked off three sections of the sentiment so it could be stamped in three different colors. This worked surprisingly well.
I used the herringbone striped Impression Plate to emboss the purple cardstock to play off the orange herringbone patterned paper. The patterned paper, Orange Zest mat, and sentiment were die cut with Spellbinders Label dies. Four little orange pearls from Michael’s finished off the card.
Today was another new lesson, new color combo and new sketches. Hopefully I’ll get a card finished tomorrow before I get too far behind.
I think I would get overwhelmed by all those color choice!

The colours do make it ‘pop’….though I understand what Rinda means by so many colours to choose from!!
Gorgeous colour combinations! I too would find it hard to choose. Love the card you have made, the herringbone embossing is just fab!
Oh I loved all those colour selections! Too many to choose. I like what you have done. Stamping in the different colours is so effective.
I am having enough angst over two colours a week in the Summer of Colour challenge! As always your card making skills are fabulous.
That is such a clever idea, the masking and you are very accurate in placing the stamp in just the right place! A lovely bright and strong colour combo ..
This is gorgeous – I was just skimming down admiring your cards and had to stop. Love this and am going to case the birthday wishes too – need to make another set this week 🙂
