This week at
Stamp TV the color challenge was to use black and ivory with one accent color. I chose my accent color to be lime green. It is one of my favorite colors and I'm even thinking about painting my craft/office room lime green! I used a patterned paper by Crate Paper on the bottom. For the top I embossed it with Cuttlebug's Victoria embossing folder and a distressed it with antique linen distress ink.
The focal image is from the Enjoy the Sunshine Stamp TV kit and used the drop shadow technique again. This time I dropped the shadow more so it was more evident. For the drop shadow I used Memento new sprout ink and tuxedo black ink, cut it out and embossed it with nestabilities, and then distressed the edges with antique linen distress ink. For the frame I used another nestabilities cut out and embossed. The ribbon is a black satin ribbon with antique white grograin that I ran the antique linen distress ink pad over to match the rest of the card. I also added a sliver of lime green under the ribbon that I edged using a martha stewart border punch.

My mother in law saw my box that I had made using the tutorial on Stamp TV, and she thought she would like to have one. Her birthday is next week so I made this for her.
For the focal image I used the drop shadow technique using a stamp from the Spring Mix Stamp TV kit. I also colored the white stitching of the ribbon with a copic marker to match the patterned paper.

So I was browsing through Stamp TV and remembered this video on Creating a Drop Shadow. So I thought I would make a clean and simple card using this technique. My focal image is from the Enjoy the Sunshine Stamp TV kit. I stamped it in new sprout by memento then tuxedo black. I really like how it adds just a touch of color. Instead of adding layers to this card I embossed the frames using Gina's video tutorial Nestabilities: Embossing only for the focal image and sentiment using nestabilties. For the focal image I popped it up after cutting it out with a circle nestabilities. The sentiment is embossed with a tag nestabilities. Before I adhered the white panel to the card, I attached some black stitched ribbon from the Enjoy the Sunshine Stamp TV kit.
I used the same technique on the inside.
You can see the green accent more in this picture.
I also used this technique on the sentiment, and added some brads to the embossed tag.
