Welcome crafty friends! It's time for a new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge. The colouors for Challenge #132 are Yellow and Blue. They were chosen by my amazingly talented teammate Stef Perry.
I could not wait to use the new Spellbinders Designer Purse cutting dies that were designed by my friend Sheri Ballantyne. Sheri has designed a whole collection called We All Have Baggage and it is so much fun and definitely fills a void that has not, in my opinion, been done before!
I made two different purses for my card using the challenge colours. It is so fun that you can customize your purses any way that you see fit. So many accent pieces that can take your purse from fabulous to even more fabulous! I started out cutting all the pieces in blue, yellow and a few accent pieces in gold mirror cardstock. I find it easier to do this rather that cutting as you go along and of course the extra pieces left over you can tuck away in your pocket for another card.
My background was embossed with the Spellbinders Diamond Plaid embossing folder and attached to a 5.5" x 4.25" landscape oriented card base.
The blue purse at the back was glued directly to the embossed panel with liquid glue. The yellow purse that is in the front was attached with thin 3D foam squares.
The sentiment was created from the coordinating Hero Arts Keep Calm stamp set. Two separate sentiments that go together perfectly. They were first stamped on white, trimmed down and matted with blue cardstock to form a thin border.
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!
I am also submitting this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

ReplyDeleteTracey this is fabulous. Being a bit of a bag girl this one hits perfectly.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me why I turned down this die? Cause I am not very bright, would be my response. I love this so much, Tracey! I would pick this purse up at the store for sure!
ReplyDeleteI like your textured white background with those cute purses! Terrific card, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this, Tracey! We all need a bright yellow purse for the summer and the navy one has it's place too! This is a fantastic die set! I may have to check into it.
