SUOC 254 - Colouring

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge blog. This is the SUOC 254 challenge and the theme for this month is Colouring.

So I thought to myself what can I do to include colouring, this is what I've come up with, I hope you like it.

I,ve used a really pretty little stampset that carried over from last years annual catalogue called Daisy lane, it was one of my favourite stampsets last year and I just couldn't resist bringing it out and having a play with it again.

So let's get on and make the card.

Materials needed:

Whisper white thick cardstock

1pc - 21cm x 14.8cm scored on the long side @ 10.5cm  this is the card base

1pc - 7cm x 14.4cm for the front layer

2pc - 10.1cm x 14.4cm for the inside of card

1pc - 1.3cm x 5.8cm for the sentiment

Scrap piece for 6 x daisies to be stamped on and punched out

Rainbow glimmer paper

1.5cm x 6cm for the sentiment layer

Length of seam binding ribbon to tie round the card in a bow at the front

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish your card base piece of card.

2. Cut your piece of card for the front layer and the 2 pieces for the inside of your card.glue the inside back piece into place, not the piece that goes on the reverse of your front at this stage.

3. The front layer piece you need to use your sponges to ink it up blending the 2 colours into each other as this gives it a lovely effect, glue this piece into place once its dry, you can give it a quick blast with your heat tool to speed up the process if you so wish.

4. Ink your daisy stamp up using the stampin' write markers, use the brush end to place the colour where you would like it, this is another great way of getting great results with colours, now you can stamp the image onto your scrap piece of card. You need to repeat this step 6 times and then punch your daisies out.

5. Glue 2 of your daisies together (3 times) and then glue them into position on your card front.

6. Using your stampin' blends and the brush end colour your ribbon, alternating the colours, this will pretty much dry instantly, you can now tie it round your card front and tie a bow at the front. Now you can glue your other inside piece of card into place and this will cover up your ribbon. You can if you wish place a glue dot under your bow to keep it in place.

7. Cut your piece of rainbow glimmer paper and your piece for the sentiment, stamp your sentiment and glue these 2 pieces together, glue to the front of your card using dimensionals.

8. The last thing you need to do now is colour your gold glitter enamel dots using dark bermuda bay stampin' blend and then place them onto your card where you would like them to be. 

That's the card finished hope you liked it, I certainly enjoyed getting my daisy stamp out and using it again.
