#GDP045 Colour Challenge - Sending Smiles


I am so bummed I missed the deadline for this challenge due to being very under the weather.  I was really looking forward in taking part in my first Global Design Project Colour Challenge.  I must admit I have a bit of a soft spot for hot pink so I am loving using Melon Mambo in any project lately.
 
So this was colour challenge using the following colours:


                              But onward and upward here is the card I created:


I went for a square card this time round, using Melon Mambo for the base and layering with Basic Black, Smokey Slate and Whisper White. Just for an added bit of interest, I 'tilted' the layers.  I stamped 3 butterflies from Papillion Potpurri stamp set in Smokey Slate, then stamped one in Melon Mambo and used the Elegant Butterfly punch to punch out and adhere with a dimensional on the centre stamp.  A simple sentiment from Greatest Greetings stamp set to compliment, a few splatters from Timeless Textures and some Pearl Basic Jewels in opposite corners just to finish off.

If you are in Australia and would like to purchase any Stampin' Up!® products you can shop on line with me 24/7 and don't forget to use this month's hostess code for a extra little something from me! 

Thanks for stopping by :)

    1. Thanks Satomi - yeah I thought it needed something else once I had stamped the 3 so I decided to punch one out and mount it - I am happy with how it turned out xx
