Paper Sunshine Project: NC Demos Blog Hop March 2020 Pineapple Punch

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop for March 2020! Here are the guidelines:

It is almost time to say goodbye to the 2018-2020 In Colors, so I thought this month we could share our In Color Monochromatic Masterpieces using our favorite retiring In Color.

Your project can ONLY use one of the retiring In Colors. You MAY use Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock and Black ink (Foil colors are ok too!). ALL other ink and cardstock MUST be your single retiring In Color.

So when Tracy & I got together, we decided to make one for each color, see the collection!

~Enjoy!

We used a little inspiration for this background paper card. I tore the edges of the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper and inked up the flowers with a sponge dauber. For the larger flowers I gave it a couple of coats to make them darker & the smaller flowers only a light tap to keep them lighter to give the background some more interest. I also crunched up the paper, but did not like the result, so instead I ran it through my embossing machine with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder.

A strip of Pineapple Punch was embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder and all tied up with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Black Ink and the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set. I ran the sentiment though my dies cut machine with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies using the second largest die, then turning it 90 degrees & cutting it again.

The envelope is stamped with the flowers from the Sweetly Swirled Stamp Set.
