You color my world!


Hey peeps!

After enjoying the company of my friend today, I was full of ideas and mojo to craft. So went through some challenge blogs and started to work on a project.

I like to experiment with stamps. And Moxie Fab World's 75 Creative Cards Challenge - Make your own background paper was a perfect challenge to play along. So I pulled out Lovely Layers Stamp Set from Papertrey Ink and looked for a colour combination to work with! I remembered the new ColourQ challenge #172. 

 
 
Using the colours from ColourQ challenge colours, I set out to stamp my background paper.



Here is my fully stamped background paper using the colours from ColourQ Challenge.



And here is my card I made using my background paper.


I went for a stationery look. So I used Fillable Frame diecut stamped with fillable frame stamp and senitment from Beautiful Butterflies. I layered it on a strip of gray cardstock and wrapped around the background paper.


I have also added rhinestones to the center of the stamped images for added interest.
I am pretty stoked with the outcome of this card. This is one card, I will keep and not giveaway this card.

Thanks for visiting!
Have a great evening!

Hugs!

Beyond gorgeous! You have such an incredible eye for colour combining. I'd love to not only be so adventurous, but actually pull it off half as good as you! Brava! The rhinestone centres are the perfect touch. Such an inspiration!
