Hi there again! Tonight's post is for my final turn as a guest member of the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge Design Team. It has been so fun working with the wonderful members on the CC design team and a joy to create with all the lovely colors each week.
This week's colors use 2 of the new Stampin' Up! 2015-2017 In Colors - Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush, plus Hello Honey, which is one of the current 2014-2016 In Colors.
The new In Colors are very bright, so I wanted to keep my card fairly CAS with plenty of white space. I used SC545 as the basis for my layout, although I added an element with the sentiment on the bottom right.
I started with the sun from Kinda Eclectic, stamped in Hello Honey, then topped it with a 3 layer butterfly. The bottom and top layers are Vellum, with a layer of Watermelon Wonder in between. I was actually going to just use one layer of Vellum, but the first butterfly I cut tore as I was trying to remove it from one of the Butterfly framelits. Darn! So I cut a second one to use on top but figured the tear would not be visible under the card stock layer, so it went on the bottom. I like the effect!
The leaves were stamped in Cucumber Crush, cut out with my paper snips. the layered under the sentiment. A few splatters on each side of the main image and some sequins, and my card was done!
Thanks for taking time to visit today and I would love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment! Please use the links above and come join us for the Color Challenge or play along with the Sketch Challenge (even though it is from nearly 2 weeks ago, there is no deadline, so you can upload your card any time). Have a great week!!
Hugs,
Stef
