What is the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year? It’s Classic Blue.  It is brilliant and very highly pigmented.

In my last post, I talked about what are your favorite color combinations.  This one could easily become your favorite and paired with others favorite colors. 

Today, I have a project for you, done in Stampin’ Up! colors and you will see how Stampin’ Up! incorporates the Pantone colors into their inks, papers, embellishments and Designer Series Papers.  The Blueberry Bushel color is part of the 2018-2020 Incolor family and will be going away in June with the introduction of a new set of Incolors.

Create Card:

• Die cut pieces of Pool Party cs with the lacey dies from the Jubilee Beauty Dies.  Use the die without the half circle.  You can apply Adhesive Sheet to the Pool Party cs before die cutting.  I get my Adhesive Sheets from Amazon.  
• Apply the die cut pieces to the Blueberry Bushel panel.
• Stamp the semi-circle of flowers 2 xs with Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White.  Color using the Stampin’ Blends- Pear Pizzazz Light for leaves,  Night of Navy Light for large and small flowers, Pool Party Light for Daisies, tiny flowers and inside the large flower, So Saffron Light for the flower centers. Cut the 2 sets of flowers using the matching dies. .  Attach the flowers in the center of the die cut Pool Party cs, leaving some space between the 2 flower cutouts. 
• Cut 3 leaves from Old Olive cs and 2 leaves from Pear Pizzazz cs with the leaf dies. 
• Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp “Happy Birthday” sentiment on Whisper White.  Punch the ends with the Banner Triple Punch.  Adhere leaves behind the banner and attach between the 2 sets of flowers.
• Layer the panels on the Whisper White panel and finally attach to the Blueberry Bushel card front.  
• Stamp a greeting on the Whisper White panel and attach to the inside of the card.
