Clearly Besotted Challenge #3 - Colour Inspiration

Well at last I've managed to join in with a Clearly Besotted challenge (this is the third one so far) and here is the colour inspiration that Stephanie has given us:

For this month's Clearly Besotted challenge, I have a very pretty colour palette to hopefully inspire you to join in, I'd love to see you use some, or all, of the following colours on your projects (pretty please!)....


For my card I've used the lovely Twinkle Toes stamp set and matching dies and one of their Background Builder stamps.  I've stamped the ballerina in three colours (which are actually very close to the ones given here but you know what photos are like!!!) and die cut them.  I cut a piece of card using a nestie to mount them onto and threaded a pale pink organza ribbon through the outside.  I scored two lines in the middle of the card blank and then stamped the music background builder across the card.  The two sentiments come from the same Twinkle Toes stamp set and I've used Petite Labels 1 to die cut them; I then sponged some DI Spun Sugar around the dies.  The card candy was just punched out of white card, coloured with the same green ink and then I used an embossing tool and foam mat to shape them.

Thanks for dropping by.  I'll be back on Saturday with a new challenge at Addicted to CAS (although I'll be winging my way up to Daventry for my Crafty Little Getaway with Oyster Stamps).

  8. Hi Karen
    Thanks for that tip.... I have done that ... But doesn't seem to work for me ... Always a bit one sided... Must be me.... Someone else says use acetate in stead of card....
    Thanks again ... Enjoy your crafting weekend....
