Creative Colour Challenge #76 with the Beautifully Happy stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I’ve not had the chance to take part in this challenge for a while but managed to get some craft time in!

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

I took the opportunity to work with this Sale-a-bration stamp set and Stampin’ Blends!

Layers were created with the Deckled Rectangle dies.

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

Some Pool Party ribbon and a simple sentiment finished the project.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and to my Inspire.Create.Challenge design team project!

Click the button below to see the other design team inspiration projects. You can also take part and add a photo of your creation here too!

I chose to work with a brand new stamp bundle called Dainty Delight.

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

I combined colours from the bright and subtle colour families for the layering and chose a matching ink for the sentiment.

The image was coloured very simply with Stampin’ Blends.

A touch of ink blending in the background makes the die cut elements pop.

I opted not to add extra embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
