Good Afternoon Everyone!
I hope you are all well. It's been a while since I took part in Creative Colour Challenges, but I had hard words with myself earlier in the week and I must do better, so I have sat and created for #134. This Colour combo is fabulous - I love the rich deep colours and they work so well together.
I've used the Thoughtful Expressions bundle along with the Bold Bouquet stamp set to create a very lovely Thinking of You Stable Dorr Card. This fun fold is super easy and just adds a little something more to the card.
What do you think?

------------------------------------------
Take your Moody Mauve card stock and down mark at 2"" a small pencil dot on the score line, and one at the right hand side, again at 2"". Pop this into your trimmer and cut down to the 1 3/4" mark on the score line, then rotate the card stock so that the cut line is to your left and cut down to the score line from the 2" pencil mark. You could do this by eye without marking, but I have a tendency to get a bit giddy and overcut! haha.
It should look like this once you have made the cuts.
This should free up a panel of card stock ( which you can save for another project) and leave you a 'stable door' card front. Fold and burnish this piece, keeping the score line to the left as you would a standard card base.
Glue down one of the 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" piece of Very Vanilla to the outside back panel which is the inside of the card.
Take the Flower image and stamp it all over the remaining 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" & 1 7/8" pieces of Very Vanilla Card stock.
Add the larger piece to the 'inside' of the card, and the thinner piece on the outside of the 'door'
Bring in in your Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, cut out the label shapes. The largest in Starry Sky, Next down in Moody Mauve and the next on down again in Very Vanilla.
Stamp the sentiment from Bold Bouquet in to the centre of the Very Vanilla piece and they layer all three together.
Close the card base and figure out where your sentiment panel will sit. Try to get it a centred as possible, the add dimensionals to the back of this piece, but only to the section that will sit on the 'door'. If you place then too high up, you will end up gluing your card shut.
On another scrap of Very Vanilla stamp the Hummingbird in Wild Wheat ink and then using a blender pen and your Starry Sky and Moddy Mauve ink pads to add some colour - also add a touch of Wink of Stella to give a little shimmer. Use the coordinating die and your Cut & Emboss Machine to cut it out. Position this onto the sentiment panel - only adding dimensionals to places that will adhere it to the die cut label panel, if you go further out you may glue the card shut!
I Hope you have enjoyed my card today - I absolutely loved playing around with these colours. The Challenge is opening for another day (ends Sunday 31st March 6pm GMT), but you could use this combo anytime - I would love to see what you create.
