Good Afternoon Everyone
Today I took part in the #CrazyChallengeInstaHop with a few crafty friends. There is two a month, one focuses on a stamp set & DSP and another is a colour or a theme.
This one is a colour challenge - Shaded Spruce, Blushing Bride & Melon Mambo. Now, I don't think this would have been a mix I would have made, but I am absolutely chuffed with how my card turned out, and these colours look fabulous together.

------------------------------------
Take the Shaded Spruce Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the Basic White panel to the inside.
On scraps of Basic White stamp the flower and two leaf images in memento. Once the ink is dry colour using Stampin Blends. I used Melon Mambo for the Flower and Shaded Spruce for the leaves. Cut out using the coordinating dies
Also, stamp the sentiments onto Basic white using memento ink and trim, leaving some space to the left (to sit under the flower) and angle the right hand side. Layer this to a scrap of Shade Spruce card stock and trim leaving a nice border.
Take the Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder and ink up the top panel with Blushing Bride ink. Lightly apply the ink directly from the ink pad. Place the blushing Bride card stock into the embossing folder and run through your Cut & Emboss Machine as usual. This will add ink to the card in all the areas which are not embossed, giving deep definition to that design and it makes it a bit more insteresting.
Layer this piece to the front of the card, then add the sentiment strip along with the flower and leaves from earlier.
Finally colour in a few of the lightest Milky Dots with your Melon Mambo Stampin Blends and add a large one to the centre of the flower and three smaller ones to the corner of the sentiment strip.
