Hello and welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we have a colour challenge for you.

ac158

I found this colour combo quite tricky as I don’t own a watermelon coloured ink. In the end I found some watermelon coloured patterned paper.

Bunting

I made the bunting using the centre circles from the new Designer Flowers die (I just cut them in half). I sponged on the clouds and the bird is from this stamp set called A Beautiful Day. The gingham background I made from this background set. I used the second one from the bottom, just stamped it both ways.

I think this card has a very country – quilt feel to it.

Supplies

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps BBD#7 stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Designer Flowers stamp set (sentiment), AnnaBelle Stamps A Beautiful Day Stamp set

Ink: Memento Inks – Summer Sky, VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white cardstock, Bazzill – Light blue, Dark Blue

Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps Designer Flowers die, Cuttlebug,  AnnaBelle Stamps 3mm pearls, Sponge dauber, Echo Park 6×6 Paper pad – This and That

This challenge will run for 2 weeks and the winner will receive a $15 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.
