Design Team Inspiration

Orange you glad Samantha used orange for this awesome monochromatic Halloween card? She combined Stripes ‘n Sprinkles paper with a Watercolor Wishes Mushroom Border to set the stage for fun! She colored images from Pick of the Patch, Let’s Go Nuts, So Owlsome, Wild Wolves, Fangtastic Friends Add-On and Tea-rrific Day in shades of orange with lots of shading.

Like two peas in a pod, Mimi‘s pop-up card is so adorable! She combined patterned papers in shades of green to build the Platform Pop-Up, including the Platform Pop-Up Add-On. Then the cute peas and pods from Be Hap-pea were colored in bright green and arranged with Tropical Vine Borders and foliage from Secret Garden Window!

Catherine‘s purple Halloween card is just too much fun! She used Spooky Forest Backdrop, Stitched Pumpkins and Wolf Before ‘n Afters for the scene. Then she added hot foiled Starry Sky Background and a Louie’s ABCs greeting!

Joyce‘s “ghostly greetings” come in shades of black and gray! The border of ghosties is found in Simply Celebrate Fall and the sentiment is from Spooky Village. She added design elements with Lots of Stars Background Stencils and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame.

Karin‘s beautiful card sends rosy hued birthday greetings! Her simple ink blended design features Giant Outlined Happy Birthday: Landscape!

Perfect for sending a joy-filled greeting, Franci‘s wintry card features Winter Birds, Spooky Forest Backdrop and Scripty Joy!

The squirrels from Let’s Go Nuts are sending a playful birthday greeting in rusty brown colors. Christy used the branches from Winter Birds to create this happy design! The background inking is a blend of Crackling Campfire and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink.

Samantha‘s beautiful Christmas card features Simple Stripes: Diagonal in shades of red from chili pepper to apricot! She lined up the colorful stripes before stenciling the Snowflake Trio with White Stencil Paste. Then she finished her design with an inky Scripty Wishes and sentiment from Den Sweet Den.

Jenn also used a mix of red shades in a pastel palette! Her lovely Halloween design features Simply Celebrate Fall, Celebration Scripty Sentiments, Moon and Stars Backdrop: Landscape, and stars from Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag!

We will have more Design Team inspiration right here over the next 3 WEEKS and be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 158 – Make the Sentiment the Star!
