Colour Challenge No. 25

I spun the wheel yesterday and came up with a really odd looking colour combination for this weeks's colour challenge: - Orchid Opulence, Brilliant Blue and YoYo Yellow. I suppose it serves me right for leaving it so late in the week to do the challenge.

The inspiration for the card came from hunting through my stamp set collection to find something that I thought could work with these colours. Big, Bold Birthday was the one that won the challenge.

Supplies used All Stampin' Up!®:
Stamp Set - Big Bold Birthday, Polka Dot
Cardstock- Very Vanilla, Orchid Opulence, YoYo Yellow, Brilliant Blue
Ink - Brilliant Blue Classic Stampin' Pad
Punches - Scallop Circle
Accessories - Paper Cutter, Adhesive, Whisper White & Very Vanilla 6mm Grosgrain Ribbon, Clips Assortment, Paper Snips, stampin' sponge

Colour Challenge No. 24

I spun the wheel today and came up with the following colours for this weeks's colour challenge: - Almost Amethyst, So Saffron and Always Artichoke.




The inspiration for today's card came from the colours being slightly more on the masculine side than usual. I remembered the success I'd had last week with caseing cards from the Idea Book and Catalogue so picked up my two possible stamp sets and looked them up in the IBC. The card you see is the result using Occassional Greetings.

Cardstock- Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Almost Amethyst & So Saffton
Ink - Always Artichoke Classic Stampin Pad
