Welcome to the latest challenge at As You See It. After each sketch challenge, we have a colour challenge. This colour palette was chosen by design team member, Deborah. Lots of possibilities with these bright colours!
I've gone floral for this challenge. I got out a set that's been a bit neglected of late - Cheerful Daisies stamps and dies. The dies are so gorgeous that I had a bit of a field day cutting and layering daisies and leaves to create the bouquet. The centres of the bottom layers were sponged with Granny Apple Green.
I used my favourite Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder for the card front, then layered it onto a piece of Azure Afternoon. The card base is Thick Basic White.
The sentiment is stamped in Azure Afternoon using the label die that is part of the set but I added in an Azure Afternoon banner cut using the Stylish Shapes dies (another go-to in my craft room).
The finishing touch was the addition of three blue gems from the Tinsel Gem Pack.
The team and I would love to see how you see these vibrant colours. Visit the As You See It page to see what the rest of the team have done and to link up your entry. You can join in the challenge until Wednesday October 9, 11.59pm PST.

This is gorgeous! Sponging behind the flowers really makes them stand out, and I love that embossing folder! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's so beautiful Jan - love the soft blue behind the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI so struggled to know what to do with these colours - and am now wondering why I didn't think of the daisies too!! They work perfectly and really stand out against the hint of blue beautifully. I think I need to dust off my daisies lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card! The daisies were a great choice for these colours! I love how the sponging added sophistication to the design and the gradients added depth.
