Creative Colour Challenge #80 with the Queen Bee bundle

Hello Everyone,

I’m a bit late posting this make for the Creative Colour Challenge #80 – real life got in the way a little this week. I can’t to see the new challenge later today!

If you wish to play along you can do so HERE!

This one was very tricky. I originally thought I would create a sunset but my daughter saw my sample and gave me a new idea.

I love the texture from the Bricks and Mortar 3D embossing folder which blended beautifully.

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

I decided not to add a sentiment to this card and let the background shine through.

This card uses a Crushed Curry card base instead.

Easel Card with Colour and Contour

Hello Everyone,

I’m bringing out another favourite stamp set for today’s card!

I created a hand stamped background, opting to use Basic Grey rather than black ink for a softer look. This complimented the Highland Heather ink I added to the flowers.

For something different I made this into an easel card. I thought this provided an opportunity for the beautiful scalloped edge to shine through.

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

The original card used So Saffron. I love this cute new tag punch!
