Every once in a while, I get behind on a card challenge and miss the posting time. Today was one of those days. I was busy getting work done, time slipped by too quickly and I missed the upload time by one hour.. Regardless, I’m going to share the card I made for the PCC Challenge.

I love entering cards for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week’s challenge was a color challenge featuring turquoise, shades of purple, shades of yellow and mint. I had recently purchased FSJ Thanks Dad Stamp Set (SS-0363) and I thought this would be a perfect card to think outside the box using more of a pastel color palette.

I used my MISTI to stamp deep, rich images (note: I stamped each one approximately 3 times). I began with the glasses and positioned them onto the MISTI and inked with Pretty Pansy Fusion ink (IP-0026). The ties were next and they were stamped with Turbo Teal Fusion ink (IP-0016). Next came the watch and it was inked with Cool Pool Fusion ink (IP-0074). Then, the adorable bow ties. The first color I used was Banana Cream (IP-0046). Since the eyeglasses looked so dark, I decided to add a couple of bow ties using Lavender Fusion ink (IP-0036). The hat was stamped using Rock Candy Fusion ink (IP-0028). Finally, the sentiment, it was stamped using River Stone Fusion ink (IP-0053).

The card base is Whip Cream card stock (CS-0040) as well as the mat with the stamped images. The stamped images were matted onto Pretty Pansy card stock (CS-0029).

I think this card turned out super cute. I love it!
