Colour combination - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

It's nice to be back in the craft room and being creative again. This week, we have been given a colour challenge - something a little different. These colours are certainly not a combination I would normally use, so I have had to step WAY out of my comfort zone this time around. I hope you love it and feel inspired to, give it a go yourself.

So, I created this cute but simple card using the colours required.

These are the colours we were to use and to be honest, I really struggled with this combination. I wasn't sure how to make them all work together, but then I realised, sometimes less is more.

I started simple with sheet of Basic Whitestock cut in half and scored down the middle to form the card base (21 x 14.8 cm).

I've used Crumb Cake cardstock (14 x 10 cm) as a neutral colour to tie it all together. I have used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder to add some tecture.

Next I added some of the Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon. I played with this ribbon a little before attaching it and loved the effect I got when I pulled the edges of the ribbon apart to "stretch" it.

Next I used the Painted Label Dies. I cut one label in the Pacific Point and another in Tahitian Tide. Then I trimmed the outside of the lighter piece using my snips. I stuck this together then attached it to a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock and trimmed around the edge with scissors again so it held the same shape.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from Waves of Inspiration and also Mr Pelican from the same stamp set. I coloured the post using Crumb Cake Light and Dark Stampin blends, Light Smokey Slate for the bird, Pacific Point for the rope and a hint of mango Melody for the feet and beak.
