Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in the United States, a federal holiday when we celebrate Dr. King’s birthday and honor Dr. King’s tireless work for civil rights. While he is most known for his platform against racial segregation on public transportation and his fight for racial equality, Dr. King was also an advocate for the poor and worked to end poverty for all people. Today’s card is an inspirational scene with a very timely sentiment – “we’re in this together.” Here’s my card:
Making a card with the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper was really, really hard. There are so many gorgeous pages and designs in this pack of papers that it was nearly impossible to select one for my card. I chose the Melon Mambo mountains with a sun in the horizon. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper (you can click on the graphic below to flip through all of the pages in my online store):
To showcase this mountain landscape, I created a black frame with Basic Black cardstock and my Stitched Rectangles Dies. I layered one inside a larger one to create the frame. I glued that the cropped piece of Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper for a beautifully framed scene.
Here’s a look at the Rectangle Stitched Dies, a must-have for your stamping dies:
The sentiment on my card is pulled from the Greatest Journey stamp set that coordinates with the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper in the Enjoy the Journey Suite. To see all of the amazing products that make up this suite, click on the image below:
Have you noticed that Mango Melody is the “it color” of the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog? The bright, bright orange is showcased i many of the papers and coordinating products, including the paper and twine in this suite. Mango Melody blends so sweetly with Melon Mambo on this skyline. If you like the mix of Mango Melody, Melon Mambo and Basic Black as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
