more color mondays – daffodil delight, coastal cabana and melon mambo

Welcome to More Color Mondays – today’s color challenge uses a triadic color combination from our Color Coach tool. This color wheel is actually two interconnected spinning circles that contain all of Stampin’ Up!’s basic colors on the outer wheel and an inner white circle with cut out sections that reveal different color theory color combinations!
We have four different color theory combinations available on this Color Coach Wheel:
Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary and Triadic.
Today’s combination of Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Melon mambo is a triadic color combination forming a triangular position on the wheel.

Measurements:
Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer
Daffodil Delight CS: strip scrap
Coastal Cabana CS: strip scrap
Melon Mambo CS: strip scrap

Place the large butterfly die from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle and die cut in the center of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer – saving both the negative and positive images.

Place the negative die cut layer and emboss it in the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder.

On the front of the Basic White card base, brush with Blending Brushes a layer of Daffodil Delight ink on the top about an inch in from the top, then a layer of Coastal Cabana then a layer of Melon Mambo about an inch from the bottom. Place the negative space layer on top of the card base before you start to gauge the area that you will want to color and the areas you want to leave white. We only want to color the area that will be seen through the butterfly opening.

Adhere the embossed negative die layer on the card base leaving an even border around the edges of the card front.

Adhere the butterfly detail die that came from the center of the original layer and adhere with in the borders of the negative die space.
I used strip scraps of Melon mambo and Daffodil delight and adhered these strips below the die.

Stamp a sentiment onto a Coastal Cabana strip and pop up the strip on the card over the bottom of the dies and above the other colored strips.

Adhere some embellishments around the sentiment and this lovely triadic color card is complete!
