Enduring Beauty Celebrate the Little Things Card - Creative Colour Challenges #163

  Good Afternoon Everyone,

Sorry it's been a while, I've had a lot going on and unfortunately my crafting has suffered. We have finally got Poppy into Nursery which is great - that came with lots - but then for the last couple of weeks the lurgy has been flying around our house from one to the other and we haven't been able to shake it completely. I'm hoping that we are over the worst of it now!

I absolutely love this week's Creative Colour Challenges Combo. The mix of Melon Mambo Bubble Bath and Gray Granite is such a lovely palette. I've used some of our Subtles DSP in Bubble Bath and coloured in the flowers using both Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath Blends, using Gray Granite for the leaves and of course the card base.

What do you think?

------------------------------------------

Take the Gray Granite card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the larger piece of Basic White to the inside of the card.

Ink up the large floral image from Enduring Beauty in Memento ink and stamp centrally on the remaining piece of Basic White.

Once dry, colour in using a selection of Stampin Blends, I used Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo and Gray Granite.

Add the 'the little things' sentiment in Memento ink along the bottom of this panel.

Layer this to the Bubble Bath Subtles DSP and add to the centre of the card front.

On a scrap of Bubble Bath Subtles DSP stamp the outline sentiment 'Celebrate' from Happy Little things stamp set, using the in fill stamp and Melon Mambo ink to 'colour' in the letters. Trim to leave a nice even border around all edges and then add to the card front so it sits above the stamped sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I loved creating it especially using these colours - but it would look amazing in so many other colour ways.
