Mid Week blog #67 - Colour Challenge

 Hello & welcome to my blog,

My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. 

I blog twice a week. On a Sunday I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies & sometimes special DSP. My second blog is mid week on a Wednesday where I look at techniques, colour challenges, card sketches, fun folds, tools & equipment & ways to make or improve your projects. That's what this blog is about. Today I have a beautiful card with colours from Colour INKspiration challenge #135. 

These are Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay. This is such a gorgeous combination & I'm so happy with how the card turned out. I hope you love it too.

Isn't this colour combo gorgeous! I love how bright & cheerful these colours are together.

 

I started with a Bermuda Bay card base. The Basic White matte was run through the embossing machine using the Seashells embossing folder. 

I stamped some of the shells & greenery from the Friends are like Seashells stamp set on scrap Basic White using Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya, Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay. 

The sentiment is stamped in Bermuda Bay then diecut using one of the Beautiful Boughs frames. 

The shells were all fussy cut & the greener was. diecut with the Seaside Seashells dies.

 

I placed the shells over the matching embossed images & added the greenery behind the sentiment & the large shell. 

The sentiment was raised on dimensionals & then I added some Faux Sea Glass shapes. 

The final step was to add a Basic White matte to the inside with a shell stamped on it.

I had such a lot of creating this card & look forward to playing around some more with the stamps & dies. If you want to see the other cards I create then don't forget to come back on Sunday to see more. Next week's mid week blog will be focussing on stamping on specialty paper. I hope you can join me for both of them.

But for now, that's all I have for you. Thanks so much for stopping by. Til next time, take care & keep creating. XX Alison
