Creative Colour Challenges - #136

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Monday! I know this is a little late, I had a tricky time getting two little kiddies down to bed last night and then I ran into internet issues! But, as they say 'Better late than never? Right?

As you may or may not know - I run the Creative Colour Challenges blog. Each week three Stampin Up Colours are randomly selected and I ask you to create a projects using those colours! Some week's are easier than others - but what I do find is that there's a lot of inspiration given from those who participate, so I thought that on a Sunday, once I have announced the Winner of the Week's Challenge over on Creative Colour Challenges Blog, I'd hop on over here and share the entries with you in the hope that we can give everyone some more inspiration, and I will link to those I can (as anyone can enter, you don't have to have a blog or a website), so It's also my chance to share there work and show some support.

Hello Ladybug 'You can Bug Me Anytime' Greeting Card. Stamp n Hop April 2024 Hop - CASE the Catalogue

Good Evening Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the Stamp n Hop blog Hop and for April our theme is 'Case the Catalogue'.

I decided to case a card made using the Hello Ladybug stamp set and punch. It's from page 58 of the current catalogue and I've pretty much copied the design like for like for like, except I switched up the colours of the background and I stamped the ladybug wings.

Measurements

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 /4", scored at 4 1/8"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc- 5 5/8" x 3 5/8"

scraps

----------------------------------------------------------

Take the Basic Black card stock and fold along the score line to create the card base, adding the larger piece of Basic White to the inside.

Stamp the selection of images onto the remaining piece of Basic White.

I stamped -

1 leaf in Shaded Spruce

1 leaf in Parakeet Party

1 flower in Lemon Lolly

a few flowers in Bubble Bath.

Add adhesive and stick to the front of your card base.

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the wings in Real Red and add the dots with Memento Black Ink. Cut out the wings and a ladybug body using the Ladybug Builder Punch. and glue them together.

Place this on the card front, pretty centrally and at a slight angle, near to stems of the leaves.

Stamp the sentiment in Memento onto a strip of Basic White and trim if required. Add banner tails to either side and then add to your card front towards the bottom right

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - Please take a few minutes to continue through the hop for some more inspiration

Here's a list of supplies I used in today's project, click on the images to head over to my online store - don't forget the Last Chance list is live and full of retiring products including this Stamp set and punch, so be sure to take a look and grab a bargain whilst you can Product List

See you soon
