Stamping Stray Ducklings – Color Combination Challenge!

4 Comments

Welcome to our August Blog Waddle! We are featuring color combinations to create our cards!! I looked around for a color combination created by someone else, but did not find one I wanted to use. I do use this site: http://colorlab.mycreateink.com when I am looking for a combination. I knew I wanted bright colors, but I didn’t find anything I liked, so I created my own. I put Garden Green, Daffodil Yellow, Poppy Parade, and Gorgeous Grape together. How do you pick colors for your card?

My card base is Thick Basic White using the lattice front card design. I thought the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674) would be perfect in front of my “fence”. Using scraps of all the colors in my color combination, I die cut the pieces. Don’t you love the texture and depth of these flowers!? A Happy Birthday sign was created from a scrap of Basic White and Poppy Parade ink using the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) for the sentiment, punched out with the Double Oval punch (#154242) and hung on the fence with a piece of Sweet Sorbet twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack (#159195) I added a piece of Daffodil Delight inside to accentuate the fence.

7 Comments

So happy you are checking out our July Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects featuring flowers! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Cheerful Daisies Dies (#161296)! I love the detail of the flowers in this set! The card base is Lost Lagoon, one of the returning colors. Behind the piece of Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (#161289) is a piece of Vellum Cardstock (#101856) embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). The daisies are cut from Basic White. The daisy centers are sponged with Daffodil Delight and the leaves are packed with pieces of Pretty Peacock. A bow from Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (#161171) and dots from 2023-2025 InColor Dots (#161620) with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Sentimental Park (#160561) complete my card.
