Monday Colour Challenge Finale featuring Colour & Contour

Hello Everyone,

This is the last Monday Colour Challenge for time being…. I hope you enjoyed the series!

Our colours this week are;

  • Crumb Cake
  • Bermuda Bay
  • Blushing Bride

I’ve pulled out Colour and Contour to make the card and tried something different with the layout!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Some Wink of Stella on the blooms adds a hint of colour from the line art and some sparkle too!

The card takes on a different look when the colours are used differently!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #095

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am featuring my Design Team project for the Inspire.Create.Challenge

Our challenge this time is a sketch!

You can see all the other design team projects here You can also add your own project to the gallery!

My card uses the Pansy Patch stamp set and Pansy Petals designer series paper. I have rotated the sketch to make a portrait design.

I love the gingham prints in the paper pack!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The ribbon was the perfect width to cover the gap across the middle of the card and the scalloped edge of the layering circles dies draws the eye to the sentiment.

Here are the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent versions!

My favourite is Fresh Freesia, which is yours?

I hope you enjoyed this project.
