Color challenges are always fun for me – stretching your creativity to fit a pre-defined challenge, whether it be color or a card sketch pushes your mind to come up with new ideas, new combinations! I love that challenge! I hope you are playing along and challenging yourself too! If you made a card with these colors feel free to post your artwork on today’s Facebook post in the comment section! Who knows you might inspire someone with your art!
Today I decided to post multiple ideas with this color theme instead of one card with more specific details on how to make it!
The first card features the new Sweet Citrus bundle and this is one of our hybrid embossing folders that can also die cut images at the same time as it embosses them!
I stamped the three citrus in ruby grapefruit colors – first with Flirty Flamingo and then brushed the edges with a blending brush and Sweet Sorbet ink. I embossed and die cut the images in the hybrid folder. I also embossed a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Smoky Slate layer in the embossing folder. I stamoed the zesty birthday sentiment in Sweet Sorbet on Sweet Sorbet cardstock and die cut with the large banner from the Stylish Shapes die set. Assembled the card and used th Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends to color faceted dots to match the card. I placed the layer on a Flirty Flamingo base card and wrapped the Smoky Slate layer with Glittered white Organdy ribbon.
I stamped the large daisy outline stamp in Smoky Slate on a Basic white 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer Blended the corner with Sweet Sorbet ink. I blended the base flower in Sweet Sorbet and the detailed die in Flirty Flamingo ink, and pooped that layer onto the base flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals cut thin. I stamped the flower center in Smoky Slate before adhering the detailed die onto the base. I stamped the leaves randomly in Smoky Slate, adhere the flower to the card center and added Iridescent Pastel Gems to finish the card!
Here is a close up shot of the Wink of Stella glitter pen the pictures do not do the sparkle justice – trust me on that! This is the GREATEST WAY to add mess free sparkle to any project!!!
Her is the final color challenge project! Hope you try a new color combination – go out of your comfort zone and try something new!
