Good Morning Everyone,
Happy Friday Folk. I can't believe how quick this week has past!
As you know I join in with lots of challenges and blog hops etc - all to help my mojo and focus with crafting and today I'm joining in with a brand new one called Color Throwdown (I'll leave a link below) which I only discovered this week. It's really simple, each week we are given a selection of colours and you have to create a project using them. The colors are generic - blue, green pink etc so anyone can join in!
Measurements
Crumb Cake Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
Basic White Cardstock
2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
scraps for the dragonfly
Take one of the basic white pieces, holding it horizontally, lightly sponge the top half with balmy blue ink and the bottom half with Old Olive. Keep it quite light at this stage, you can always add to it later.
Stamp the wild flower cluster in crumb Crumb cake ink along the bottom green edge, varying the height to give some interest.
At thia point I added somw more green to deepen the colour, but not much.
Now with Old olive blends fill in some of the larger leaves, and with crumb cake colour the flower centres. Cover the daisy petals in wink of stella over the daisy heads.
Stamp the sentiment in the top left hand corner in crumb cake.
Take alook at your sponged background and add some more colour if you'd prefer.
Create a card base by folding the crumb cake card stock along the score line,sponge the edges with crumb cake ink then add the stamped panel to the front of the card.
Sponge the edges of the remaining piece of basic white with crumb cake ink. Stamp the Dragonfly in the bottom left and colour eith light Bermuda Bay. Add some wink if stella to the body and wings.
Place this panel the inside of the card.
Ona scrap of basic white stamp the same Dragonfly, colour with Bermuda Bay and add the wink of stella, but this time punch out and add to the card front, pulling up the wings slightly to give some dimension.
I have really enjoyed this colour challeneg and I will certainly be heading back next week to see what new inspiration they have to share.
Here's a list of the supplies I used in today's card. Click on the images to head over to my online store.
