Where Creativity Meets C9: Challenge 20 – Spring

9 Apr

Good morning!  Today we’re starting a new challenge for Where Creativity Meets C9 and it’s Spring!!  Yep, time to dust off the snow and bring on the flowers!! 😉 You can find all the details and the rest of the design team’s creations here!

We are sponsored by the fantastic Concord & 9th and one lucky random entry will receive a $25 gift certificate for a Concord & 9th shopping spree and our favorite entry will be asked to guest-design for a future challenge!  Here’s what I created:

Thinking of You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Where Creativity Meets C9

I’ve been needing to make a few sets of cards and this challenge was the perfect opportunity to make some simple stamped one-layer cards!  Add the MISTI and some pretty layering inks and it’ll take you no time at all!  I love the intentional splotchy look of this stamp set.  It gives them a really interesting textural look.

Thinking of You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Where Creativity Meets C9

I used a different combination of inks and petals and second generation stamping for each one but predominantly I used Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond, Pink Pearl, Coral Berry, Coral Bliss, and Frosty Pink inks from Altenew for my cards.  I love how you can build your branches any way you’d like by changing which stamps you use!  I actually made a second set of sympathy cards using just the leaves in shades of grey.

And now it’s your turn!  The challenge ends on April 29th and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create!  Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more design inspiration throughout the month!  Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous week!

    Very pretty cards,Jess! Love that they are one layer & easy to mail! I do have a tip about that, ( you may already know this!); I buy poster board at 4/$1. & Cut it into 5 1/4 x 4″ & lay a piece on top of my A2 cards that have bumps or are extra thick. They go through the mail with just one stamp & no problems.
