So, on to the FUN challenge this week! It's time for one of my favorites....a color challenge! I love color challenges and I {heart} this one! Just lookie:
I really wanted to make a baby card with these colors but I've made quite a few of those lately...maybe because I want one...a baby that is:-) Anyway, I forced myself to do something more "out of the box" for these colors than the first thing that came to mind. I also used a couple of retiring things...my BFF stamp set Best Friends Forever (still sad it's going) and the jumbo brads which of COURSE are retiring since I just got into them recently:-)
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Button buddies, best friends forever, petite pairs
Paper: Whisper white, basic gray, regal rose, subtles DSP stack
Ink: Basic gray, regal rose, pink pirouette, pool party
Accessories: Circle punches, perfect pennants die, pool party ruffled ribbon, jumbo brads
I did the rock and roll technique with the flower although it's hard to tell. I inked it up in pink pirouette and then rolled the edges in regal rose. Makes a pretty flower! I also love layering the scalloped shapes on the perfect pennants die...I kind of forget about them but with the loss of scalloped circles 2 I think they will get more use! The larger circle pairs perfect with the large circle punch!
Now head over to HSS and see what everyone else has come up with and then play along! And check back this week for sneak peeks!!!!!
Happy stamping!
I am totally lovin' this card and your use of the BFF stamp set. I think I too am bummed it's going to retire as I too am just now getting into it. The pop of pool party ribbon is a fun and unexpected use of the color challenge! Smiles, Elizabeth
