I had a lot of inspiration for this card. First, the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is to create our own stamped background - the Wallpaper challenge. This week the sponsor is Ellen Hutson.
I also found the colors that Lizzie Jones posted in this month's PTI Newsletter just beautiful, and her sample card for the color-play makes me want to get Fancy Folk Art stamp set even more than I already did.
And finally, the challenge this week for Make It Monday is to glitter up some trim!

| Sending You stamp set, Angled Labels and Leafy Vine Border dies (PTI) |
I wanted to create a different type of fold today. I stamped the flowers and leaves in Terracotta Tile, Summer Sunrise and Ripe Avocado. The centers were stamped with Harvest Gold ink. For the Soft Stone color, I outlined all the stamping with a C1 Copic marker. It doesn't show up very well in the photos. I inked all the edges with some Tea Dye duo and then popped up the sentiment panel. On the right side, I made a panel for the Leafy Vine diecut. After cutting it out, I spread some Diamond Stickles on it and let it dry. This was my second attempt at glittering that border. The first time, I ran it through my Xyron and sprinkled Prisma Glitter on it. It lost the Ripe Avocado color, even with heat setting it. I think the stickles worked a lot better. The inside of the card is decorated a bit as well.
Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

Your card is beautiful, Lee Anne! I'm so happy you were inspired to use the Color Play combo! And I love that you used a gate fold. It's such an interesting format and one that I don't think to use enough. Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing!
