Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the US. Welcome to my blog. Today, I’m sharing my design team card for this week’s The Spot Creative Challenge. I think you’re going to like this Hydrangea Haven card with In Good Taste designer paper.

The Spot Creative Challenge 158 for this week uses the sketch seen above. It’s a great layout to play with.
In fact, you can play along with this week’s challenge by using the sketch to make a card and then share it with us over on the challenge blog. And, you don’t need a blog to be able to play along.
Hydrangea Haven with In Good Taste

For today’s card, I really wanted to play with the In Good Taste designer paper. I love this pack for all of the great texture in the designs. And, the color palette is fairly neutral which means it goes with all kinds of things!

I had just received my Hydrangea Haven stamp set last month when my computer died. And, I couldn’t wait to create something to share with you.
The soft colors of the Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Smoky Slate play on and pull out the colors in the designer paper.

Can you see all of that texture in the designer paper!?! The accent strip with the tiles pulls out the same tones as the background paper. And the more defined shape of the tiles is a good foil for all of the soft detail of the flowers and painted texture of the background paper.
To finish the card and continue the tight tonal play, I used the Blushing Bride twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack and silver Metallic Pearl.s
