Good Morning Everyone
Happy Monday - I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and are ready for a great week ahead.
As It's Monday, I wanted to share with you the card I have made for this week's Creative Colour Challenges Combo.I actually really love this combination - I just knew I wanted to do a card with a soft background of the Gray Granite and Soft Sea Foam, adding a pop of colour with the Mango Melody - So the Sentimental Swirls stamp set seemed like an obvious choice. What do you think?

---------------------------------------
On the 3 5/8" x 5 3/8" & 2 3/8" x 3 5/8" piece of Basic White, stamp the swirls in Gray Granite all over then add some of the leaves. Layer these to the coordinating Soft Sea Foam Mats.
Take the larger piece of Gray Granite card stock and place it in front of you with the fold to the left. Add the largest stamped panel to the inside, and the second largest to the smaller card front flap you created.
On one of the remaining piece of Basic White Card Stock, stamp the Swirl in Gray Granite towards the lower left, and add the Happy Birthday sentiment to the top right hand corner. Layer this to the coordinating Soft Sea Foam mat
Bring in the smaller piece of Gray Granite card stock and hold that so the fold is on the right. Add the last of the stamped panels to the front and the remaining plain piece of basic white to the inside.
Add this smaller 'card', with the fold to the right to the centre of the large stamped piece on the inside of the card. Then fold in the small front Flap, then close to last Flap over that.
Stamp the some of the large and smaller Flowers in Gray Granite onto Mango Melody card stock and cut out using the coordinating punches - Strawberry Builder punch for the smaller flower and the Flowers & Leaves punch for the larger one. Gently tease up the edges to add a little dimension and add a rhinestone to the centre of each.
On a scrap of Soft Sea Foam card stock stamp the bird in Gray Granite ink and then fussy cut.
Arrange to flowers and the bird onto the top panel with mini dimenisonals.
This is what the card should look like if laid flat, hopefully you can see how the pieces lay and slot together.
