Color Blocking and Pun Intended

I was in the mood for some in-your-face contrast when I sat down to craft today. Pop of Pink DSP immediately sprang to mind, with its crisp Basic Black, Whisper White, and Melon Mambo.

Choosing two sheets of the DSP to work with, I cut them to size for a 4.75 x 6" card. I used Fast Fuse to adhere them to a Melon Mambo card base.

My next step was to stamp the camera from the Pun Intended stamp set onto Thick Whisper White using Basic Black Archival ink and my MISTI. I stamped it a couple of times to get a really rich black and then cleaned the stamp before inking and stamping with Versamark.

I heat embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder to really make the camera show up and then fussy cut it. I used Clear Wink of Stella to add shine to the flash and other white sensors on the camera.

I die cut the two largest swirls from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlets from Basic Black and Melon Mambo. They were stamped over with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder two times to provide a really glossy and smooth coating.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on Basic Black and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and both ends were flagged with the Banner Triple Punch. A second banner was created from Melon Mambo. The two were attached with Dimensionals and adhered to the card front also with Dimensionals.

The die cut swirls were adhered using rolled up Glue Dots and then the camera was adhered with double Dimensionals over top of them. A Basic Black card stock strip adhered down the left side completed the front of the card.

A Whisper White matte was cut for the inside of the card. The dots from the Swirly Birds stamp set were stamped repeatedly in the bottom right corner using Melon Mambo and then the camera was stamped on top using Basic Gray Archival ink. The matte was adhered with Fast Fuse to finish the card.

I love the "punchiness" of this card! The heat embossed swirls looks like strings of licorice and make a nice little nest for the camera.
