It's the end of a public holiday here in New Zealand, with the first Monday in June being King's Birthday. Instead of tidying up my craft space ready for Class Week, I ended up playing around with the Colour Challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.
It was quite a challenging trio of colours and I had a couple of false starts with some other sets before I got to Delicate Whispers.
I repeat stamped the toi-toi image in Night of Navy, then added some different foliage in Balmy Blue. I coloured the leaves of those images in light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends, and the flowers in Dark Balmy Blue. Then I shaded the whole area with a light wash of Balmy Blue.
Then I got to work with a rectangular mask and blended the edge heavily with Balmy Blue, bleeding it out towards the further corners. Then I added a touch of Night of Navy to the corner. I added in the sentiment - although if I'd thought about it more, I should have stamped the sentiment first just in case there was some kind of stamping disaster with the words! 😀
I decided to mat the panel with Balmy Blue before adhering it to a Night of Navy card base. I added some tiny Basic Rhinestones to the flower centres then a couple of larger ones around the sentiment. All done!
If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page.
Oh, this is just lovely! You've used these colors perfectly on your beautifully simple CAS card!
