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.
