Its a Colour Challenge with Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is a COLOUR CHALLENGE.

I have created a my own DSP like background using 3 of the challenge colours.

Here's the challenge picture

The hero of this card has to be the goose holding the ‘thanks’ banner however the real highlight in creating this project is the background panel. Lets take a closer look…

I used the ‘blotch’ image from ‘Artistically Inked’ and stamped it in different colours to create an interesting background. I finished the look with a 2-1/2” square to show off this cute goose! The little flowers come from Sweet Citrus Hybrid set & I added a silver rhinestone to bling them up.

I carried through the colours to the inside. 

Here’s my choice of colour combination

Purple Window Frames with Welcoming Window

Today I feel like I’ve created a masterpiece! I’m in love with this card it has so many parts to it, let me take you through it. 

I haven’t used this bundle yet so I was super excited to crack it open. 

I started with an Old Olive frame and a Macrame embossed Very Vanilla panel. Next to create the window scene I used Fresh Freesia cardstock and the dies from the bundle. I have never seen a purple window before! I love it. The jug, flowers, pot plant and foliage you can stamp how you like I mixed it up by stamping full strength & stamping off (once).

The sentiment I ‘pieced’ together from the various verses in this bundle. Add dimension by lifting some pieces - take a closer look at the green shutters (one side is lifted the other glued to the base.

For the shutters I stamped off (once) with Old Olive ink and I did the same for the brick work in Cinnamon Cider ink. Usually we re-ink between stamping but stamping off is a way of creating a lighter image, definitely have some scrap paper handy to ‘stamp off’ onto so you can create that perfect shade or washed out look. 

Don’t forget the inside panel!

Such a beautiful Spring fresh pallet

You’re the Best with Hats Off - Horizontal Gate fold card

I was challenged to create a masculine card with the below colour challenge. How did I go?? Did I pull it off? I'm also really digging the card fold - its a Horizontal gate fold.

Here's what I used to create this card, this bundle is getting lots of use -yay!

Lots of layers - starting with a stamped background, see the stars directly on the card base. The I cut a BIG banner in Blackberry Bliss, I also embossed this panel. Next was the So Saffron scalloped square/rectangle, it could be either depending on what angle you're looking at. Lastly the hat die cut in Mossy Meadow and the greeting... but wait theres more!

The inside is never bare

...using the mini cap die, cut in all the colours and stamped stars to add detail!



The colour challenges are really fun!  They're for everyone to join in- jump on facebook to check them out.

My 10th Stampin’ Up!® Anniversary with Wild Cats Bundle

Its my SU Anniversary! Its a special one too - its my 10th Anniversary. When I look back over the years I smile as I think of all the friendships, adventures, creative projects, events and generally the fun times I've experienced. THANK YOU STAMPIN UP! Best creative decision I've ever made. So today I'm sharing a fierce card made using the Wild Cats Bundle along with a very BRIGHT colour challenge.

Happy 10 years to me 

I'm so proud of this card. It reminds me of the fierce women I have in my corner from all walks of life! Inspired by the colour challenge, I thought it would fun to stamp the leopard in different colours and group them together. Although technically in nature you rarely see Leopards in groups, it was totally fine to make believe on this card. 

Did you know that a group of Leopard is called a Leap?

Here's what I used to create this card

I like to add a touch of RIPPED cardstock - in this card I layered them to create the background
