Bottled Happiness - Creative Colour Challenge #51

Hi Everyone,

This week I'm having a go at Creative Colour Challenge #51 on my friend Victoria's blog, I love the bright colours she has chosen this week. I've just got the Bottled Happiness stamp set so thought I would have a play with that too.

Materials

1 piece of shaded spruce card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of real red card 4" x 5 3/4"

1 piece of daffodil delight card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 3 5/8" x 5 1/8"

Shaded spruce ink

Daffodil delight ink

Real red ink

Bottled Happiness stamp set

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Trimmer

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions

First of all I stamped the bottle on the basic white card with the shaded spruce ink.

Then I added the main flower bunch with daffodil delight and then with the second step stamp, I went over the top in real red. They line up really easily - this was my first attempt.

Then I stamped the sentiment at the side of the bottle and adhered this layer to the daffodil delight, then the real red and then to the card front. Add some of the butterflies.

On the remaining piece of basic white, I stamped a sentiment and some leaf stems.

Why don't you have a go at one of Victoria's challenges too, they are great fun, the address is above with the colour palette.

Tasteful Touches - Creative Colour Challenge #31

Hi Everyone,

Today I thought I would have a go at my friend Victoria's Creative Colour Challenge #31 with Sahara Sand, Gorgeous Grape and Pear Pizzazz. I thought I'd get out one of the retiring stamp sets and dies too so I have teamed the colours with Tasteful Touches stamp set and the Tasteful Labels dies and done a little masking. Let me show you what I did:

Creative Colour Challenge

Materials

1 piece of sahara sand card 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of pear pizzazz card 3 7/8" x 5 5/"

1 piece of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 3 5/8" x 5 3/8", scrap for the sentiment

Scrap of gorgeous grape card for the banner

Gorgeous grape ink

Pear pizzazz ink

Sahara sand ink

Tasteful Touches stamp set

Colour & Contour stamp set

Tasteful Label dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Paper snips

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the sahara sand card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the pear pizzazz layer to the card front.

Using the smaller piece of white card stamp a flower in the left hand corner using gorgeous grape ink. Stamp the image on several post it notes, making sure the image is on the sticky end and then cut them out to use as masks. Cover the flower you have already stamped and then stamp another one but stamp off first so that it is paler and covers part of the mask. Then add a mask to that image and stamp another one next to it, full strength, cover it and then stamp another one, stamping off first. By doing this you will get an image that looks as though the flowers are layered up behind each other which gives the illusion of dimension.

While the masks are all in place, stamp the leaves in pear pizzazz around them, then peel away the masks.

Then, using the splatter stamp from Colour & Contour and sahara sand ink, stamped off, randomly stamp over all the white space for some texture. Adhere this layer to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and then die cut. I've also die cut a banner using gorgeous grape card and then cut it in two pieces. Adhere the pieces on either side of the label and then add this to the card front using dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment and add a flower to the remaining white layer and add to the inside of the card.

I hope that you like my card and consider having a go at Victoria's weekly colour challenges too.
