Creative Colour Challenge #2

 

Hello again and welcome to another creative colour challenge. This week the colours are as above and I must admit I struggled a bit at first, but I quite like what I've made using these colours, they aren't colours I would normally use together, but I think they actually look rather nice!

Please do click on the image below if you would also like to take part in the challenge it's so much fun to create together and see what everyone else has come up with.

So as you can see the card I've made today is a very simple card, using the lovely medium daisy punch, I mean who doesn't love daisies and using a punch is so much fun too.

I started with a misty moonlight card base adding a basic white layer to the inside of the card for writing your message. I then took a basic white layer for the front of the card, but this time I decorated it before attching to the card base.

Using the really lovely 'Textures & frames' stampset, which incidentally is one of the free stampsets within the saleabration with a qualifying spend, I stamped the solid rectangle image, using highland heather ink and stamping 1st generation and then 2nd generation right across the middle of the card layer.

I then wrapped some of the white twine around the bottom section of the layer and attached it to the reverse side using tear n tape to hold it in place, I then attached a bow to it, this layer was now attached to the front of the card base using glue.

I punched out 6 daisies from basic white cardstock and then using some of the ink and a stamping block I watered the ink down alot using one of the water painters and then brushed very quickly the watery ink over all of the daisy petals. The daisies weren't completely covered as I didn't want to soak the cardstock, I just wanted a watery look to the flowers. Once the daisies were dry I then gave them a slight curve using my bone folder and glued them together into pairs. The opal rounds were coloured in using my dark daffodil delight stampin' blend and once dry they were attached tothe centres of the daisies, these were then attached to the front of the card base using a dimensional for each one.

The last thing I needed to do was to stamp my sentiment, which was from the 'Happy thoughts' stampset, using misty moonlight ink. I then fussy cut around the sentiment and attached it using dimensionals.

As I said a very quick and simple card, but I loved how it turned out, these would be very easy to batch make if you needed a few of them.

Hope you enjoyed the project and maybe find time to have a go using the colours, and maybe even join in with the challenge too!
