The crew has another fantastic colour challenge for you! I was so excited to play with these fun colours and create a card using products from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Suite. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, I’d love for you to see it in the current catalogue. It has the most amazing stamps and dies that are perfect for both cards and scrapbooking. I especially love the fun butterflies and flowers. It all works so well together with the numbered note, there are so many ideas and ways to get creative.

My card base is Basic White card stock. I cut a matt layer of Basic White for my card front. I stamped the honeycomb stamp in Pool Party in and then used a Blending Brush to colour the honeycomb areas. The beauty of ink blending is that you don’t always have to colour within the stamped image to get a lovely result. 

I stamped the numbered note in Night of Navy ink on Basic White card stock and die cut it with the coordinating die.  I also stamped the butterflies, flowers , label and banner in Night of Navy ink on Basic White cards stock before die cutting them. The butterflies were coloured with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends, The flowers Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends and the banner and tag in Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. 

I die cut a piece of Pool Party card stock with the small octagon die I kept both the centre and the outline to use. I die cut the larger octagon with the heart using Flirty flamingo card stock. I glued the small heart to the centre of the die cut banner. I die cut a piece of Calypso Coral using the scalloped die and glued this along the bottom of the note. On a piece of Basic White card stock I die cut the row of hearts after colouring the card stock using the light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends. I used this piece under my sentiment.

This card features a variety of elements that were assembled with ease. The note is adhered using Dimensionals. The three die-cutting octagons are glued down, with the smallest positioned on the right-hand side of the note beneath the sentiment. The butterflies, flowers, Pool Party tag and banner are all adhered using Dimensionals. The card front was adhered to the card base using Dimensionals.

The sentiment was created using the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies. I adhered this to the Flirty Flamingo strip of hearts using Dimensionals before gluing to the card front. The final touch are three Flirty Flamingo embellishments from the Array of Dots. 

Thanks for visiting my blog post today! I am so glad you are here today and I hope to have inspired you to use our challenge colours and possibly submit your card to our Colour INKspiration Challenge page on Facebook.
