Say it in…Yellow, Lime and Turquoise

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week is a colour challenge. It certainly got me thinking – and I enjoyed that! I made my own coloured background by inking up some card with 3 distress inks and then punching them out with a small heart punch. The time consuming bit was gluing them all down. The butterflies were stamped with BBD#6 and then I gave them a vellum set of wings over the top, as Julie Ebersole demonstrated on Day 6 of the Clean and Simple class. This is my card for the class gallery using a white background – I LOVE white space!

The sentiment is from the Fanciful Flowers set that has just been released. It doesn’t really show in the photo, but I spritzed the hearts with pearlised water to give them some shine.

Hopefully you will find some time to play along with us this week. Go on and challenge yourself!

Now on a different note, this week is the very last Wee Memories Challenge. I have really enjoyed playing along with this challenge over the last couple of months and I will miss it! So I just HAD to dive in and play along. I am entering the following card into the current Wee Memories Challenge #83 – A sketch challenge.

This card doesn’t use this week’s challenge colours, but it does use AnnaBelle stamps. Backgrounds By Design #7 (BBD#7) and the sentiment is from the newly released Love Birds set.

I usually struggle with sketch challenges, but this one came together quite quickly (for me anyway!) I got the idea to use the gingham stamp on the hearts when I saw this card by my fellow DT Jess.
