Illuminating Marigolds

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today's make and share features some cheerful marigolds and a Pantone Color Scheme.


The Pantone Color of the Year 2021 is actually two colors - Yellow (or Illuminating) and Ultimate Gray.  I have been wanting to create a project using this color scheme, so putting my thinking cap on...I received the Altenew Smiles and Hugs Stamp Set with Coordinating dies as a Mother's Day gift so here was my chance to create a Pantone card featuring some cheery Marigolds.

I stamped and heat embossed the images and watercolored them using Arteza Real Brush Markers.  Using the coordinating dies, I cut the flowers and leaves and placed the arrangement on a scrap of designer paper from The Paper Studio.

I heat embossed the sentiment, which is from the same stamp set, popped the strips along with the flower in the front on foam pads and lastly, added Nuvo Drops to accent the design.

Have you created a Pantone project yet?  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
