Today we start a new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge. Our lovely and talented leader Nancy Leppek chose the new duo at Fuchsia & Navy for this challenge. My teammates over on the Color Hues blog have once again created a wonderful inspiration gallery for you.
I used the new to me Lawn Fawn I Like Big Butterflies stamps and dies for my card this week, but let me tell you about my background first. I use the Pretty Pink Posh Leaves and Flowers Stencils for my background, I stencilled the leafy layer only with Catherine Pooler Dress Blues ink. I cut my panel out using the largest die in the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangles Stackables. Next I splattered some white acrylic paint onto the panel and set it aside to dry.
I matted my 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" with navy cardstock. Then I attached my leafy stencilled layer using foam tape. It leaves just a thin navy line around the stencilled panel.
Next I white heat embossed a few butterflies from the stamp set on Fuchsia cardstock and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added a few white gel pen dots on the cheeks of the butterflies. That is a cute detailing tip from cardmaker Jen Shrkus, the queen of cute! I also added some Prisma glitter aound the wings of the pink butterflies. My quickie glue pen is starting to dry out a bit causing a bit of trouble getting the Prisma glitter to stick where I wanted it too. They were added to the card front with foam dots for some extra dimension.
The sentiment from the same stamp set was also white heat embossed on another piece of fuchsia cardstock and cut with a sentiment strip die. I added two rows of foam strips behind the sentiment to add more dimension.
I hope you head over to visit the Color Hues blog to see what my teammates have done! I hope to see you play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
