Little Elephant - TGIFC171 - Color Challenge

August 3, 2018

YAY for Friday! We've got a color challenge going on for TGIF Challenges, a little So Saffron, Poppy Parade and Pacific Point. I decided to use these colors to create a child birthday card with the Little Elephant bundle of products. I paired these products with the Balloon Bouquet punch and am super please with the results. This is a fairly simple card and would be easy for you to recreate using any colors.

I created my own patterned paper in the challenge colors using the long border stamp from this set. I needed patterned pieces large enough to punch out a balloon using  the Ballon Bouquet punch. I stamped the board image 3 times and allowed it to overlap a little. Notice the card base?  I used the same stamp image  to create a pattern for the card base in Gray Granite to add a little visual texture.

The background is a simple watercolor block using a lightened version of Pacific Point and applied with an aqua painter. I was hoping to evoke the look of a little bit of sky.

The design team over at TGIF Challenges has loads of inspiration for you using these color. We would love it if you visit and PLAY ALONG with us. Ready? Happy stamping! #TGIFC171

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp.

Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
