Good Afternoon Everyone
Today I'm sharing the card I have made using this week's Creative Colour Challenges combo which is Pumpkin Pie, Gray Granite & Bermuda Bay - not a usual combo of mine, but I absolutely love it!
I thought using a piece of the leafy Lovely Layers Vellum and the Pumpkin Pie and Bermuda bay I could create a kind of 'Sunshine through the Glade' effect, adding a couple of dragonflies finishes it off nicely.
Now, here in the UK the size of the Vellum doesn't fit our standard mat sizes as our cards are taller and narrower than the USA, so I used some of the Sun Prints DSP and carefully placed sentiments to balance it out.
what do you think?

-------------------------------------
Take the Gray Granite Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the DSP layer to the front of the card.
Glue the 1/4" strip of DSP to the right hand side of the Basic White piece and add this to the inside of the card.
load up a blending brush with pumpkin pie ink and create a circle in the centre of the remaining piece of Basic White. Then fill in the rest of the space around it with Bermuda Bay Ink. This piece will sit behind the vellum so you want to get quite a bit of ink onto your card so that the colour really does show through. I kept placing my leafy vellum over the top to make sure that the pumpkin pie ink stayed mainly in the blank space, and the Bermuda Bay covered all the leafs.
Once you are happy with your blending and the vellum on top of the inked card. I placed very very small amounts of liquid glue behind a couple of the leafs to hold it in place and if you are careful then the glue doesn't show through.
Add this panel to the centre of the card front as evenly as you can.
Stamp the sentiments in Pumpkin Pie ink onto some scraps of Basic white and trim. Add these to the top and bottom of your vellum piece, overlapping onto the DSP below.
Finally cut out three Dragonflies in Bermuda Bay card with the Dragonfly punch and cover with wink of Stella.
Add liquid glue to the body of the Dragonflies and add to the card front. Once the glue is dry, lift up the wings slightly.
I hope you enjoyed my card today, if you would like more information on how the challenge works - or have a project you would like to enter - then pop on over to my blog - Creative Colour Challenges
