Color & Contour Colour Challenge - Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Today I am hopping with the Crafty Collaborations Group and the theme is a colour challenge - Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green. I have used the Color and Contour Bundle and the Brights DSP stack, highlighting the four different pattern ways to make this pretty card. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

3 pieces of basic white card stock 1 5/8" x 3 1/2", 1 piece 3/4" x 3 1/2", scraps for stamping

3 pieces of dsp (use all colours) 1 1/2" x 3 3/8", 1 piece granny apple green dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1 piece of granny apple green card 7/8" x 3 5/8"

Color & Contour stamp set

Scalloped Contour dies

Memento Black ink

Melon Mambo blends

Granny Apple Green blends

Bermuda Bay blends

Stampin Cut & Emboss machine

Trimmer

Simply scored

Bone folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make a landscape card base.

Add the larger piece of dsp to the card front and the smaller pieces to the 3 pieces of white card. Adhere these to the card front leaving equal borders all around.

Stamp 3 flowers on the scraps of white card in memento black ink and stamp the sentiment on the 3/4" strip, I've also stamped inside the card too and added a 3/8" strip of dsp across the bottom of the card.

Die cut the flowers and then colour in with the blends, one in each of the three colours. Add these to the corresponding coloured panels with dimensionals.

Layer the sentiment on the slightly larger granny apple green strip and adhere to the front on dimensionals across the three panels.

I do hope that you like my card and will give it a try.
