Perfectly Pantone


Hello and welcome to a chilly weekend here in the UK.  Hoping your weekend is going well.  Firstly I am pretty excited to be entering my first card into the Perfectly Pantone|Modsquad Challenge.  The challenge is to use just grey and yellow as the main colour combination.  According to forecasts in global colour trends the 2021 Pantone colours are grey and yellow.  I have never really thought about what colour is trending!

To create this card, I began with cutting a panel from some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and using some Pixie Spray I lightly adhered the Blooming Hearts Trio Stencil by Waffle Flower to the card stock.  Using blending brushes by Taylored Expressions I began ink blending, I used Soft StoneSlate and Wild Dandelion ink pads by Gina K Designs.  After completing the layered stencilling, using a paintbrush from my stash I added some splatters to the panel with some Sunflower Ink by Lawn Fawn smooshed in with some Liquid Stardust.  

I popped the panel aside to dry, once dry I cut this panel with the scalloped die from the Flags & Frames die set by Newton's Nook.  The stamp for the sentiment is from the stamp set Lots of Hugs by MFT.  I used Versafine Clair Nocturne ink to stamp with onto Gina K Designs Wild Dandelion card stock and die cut with a banner die from Everyday Sentiment Banners.  Using my Gemini Junior die cutting machine I cut the Friends Die with some Slate card stock and some white card stock multiple times and adhered the layers with Connect Glue this was then popped onto the front panel of the card and adhered with glue.

To finish the card, I adhered the panel to an A2 sized Wild Dandelion Card Base, lastly adding some black sequins to add some bling.  Hoping you like my card, until next time, stay safe and take care!
