It is Wednesday and that means another great challenge over at Stampin' Royalty. Last week week we celebrated our 1st Birthday and it was great checking out everyone's fabulous entries, I hope you will find the time to join us this week for a fantastic Colour Challenge.
I must admit I found it a little tricky working with only three main colours but I am please with the end result and hope you are too :) So yesturday I blogged that I had made a list of things that I wanted to become better at and shared a few of them with you. Another one of them that is stamping related is to start challenging myself to do more challenges. So I combined these FAB colours with an amazing sketch from Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. Both took me a little out of my comfort zone but that is what challenges are all about!
I started with an Old Olive card base and layered on some Concord Crush DSP (from the Level 1 Hostess pack). Using the new SU! exclusive 3 1/2" Sizzix Circle Die and my Big shot I cut out a circle in Concord Crush. I of course HAD to use the Build a Blossom set and coordinating Blossom Petals Punch to create a Marina Mist flower for the main image. (*TIP when I create these flowers I first punch out a 1" Circle then arrange the petals on it,attaching with Mini Glue Dots) I used my Bone Folder to slightly curl my petals. For the center of the flower I used the super fun new Fabric Designer Brads. I pleated some Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon along some matching card stock that had been die cut with the SU! ExclusiveTasteful Trims Die. Because the flower is such a large focal point I decide to use a very small and simple setiment "smile" from the Fabulous Phrases (I LUV this font) and punch it out with The Jewlery Tag Punch.
Hope you can join us this week at Stampin' Royalty and be sure to check out all the awesome DT's samples.
Have a great day,
very cute card!!!
I like how you put the sentiment, and the buttom of the flower
