Round We Go for Colour INKspiration 175

Welcome to the 175th challenge at Colour INKspiration. Today's colour palette was chosen for us by Crew Member Monica Formosa. Isn't the stairway a bit of fun? 

If you haven't played with us before, we are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from the South Pacific. Challenges are shown and entered via our Facebook Group page. If you don't belong, and would like to, click here. Don't forget to answer the three easy questions you'll be asked when you ask to join the group.

Each challenge, Top Picks and a winner are chosen by the crew and the winner offered a chance to Guest Design with us for a future challenge. 

If you don't have an exact challenge colour, feel free to replace it with whatever you have that's closest, for example Daffodil Delight for Crushed Curry. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.

This challenge is open for two weeks and closes Monday October 21, 7pm AEST.

Well, to me those bright yellows meant a party, so I turned to the Round We Go bundle - it's got everything from flowers to fireworks plus some great greetings.

So much  going on in this card! I started by stamping different starburst stamps in Crushed Curry onto either White or Lemon Lolly and die cutting them out.  The larger rounded edge one, I ran through the machine again to cut out the decorative holes so that an underlayer of Gold Foil could peep through.

 

I die cut a Lemon Lolly starburst with pointed edges and mounted it over the Crushed Curry matching starburst. I cut small round-edged starbursts in Lemon Lolly and Gold Foil and layered them together. I cut some gold discs to act as centres and some Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake discs to add to the collage.  As you can tell, by this point I was having a heap of fun cutting, layering and arranging!

For the background, I randomly stamped the star stamp in Lemon Lolly over the centre part of the card base, then lightly sponged some Lemon Lolly over with a blending brush. Then I used the decorative circle perforation dies to cut some circles so that the Crushed Curry mat layer could peek through.

The enjoyment factor in making this card was now off the scale. 😀

To finish up, I added the sentiment, stamped in Crumb Cake and cut using a banner from Stylish Shapes. Then I added in some Glossy Dots in Crushed Curry. 

I'm very happy with my party on a page card!
