Here's my card for
Kristina's latest colour challenge. I based it on a sketch by
Lauren Meader, and I did plan on having a sentiment where it is placed in the sketch, but I had the paper and ribbon stuck down before I remembered and I didn't like my chances of getting it to stamp nicely then (let alone it then being too close to the top). Still, I like how it turned out and in fact I am glad I didn't stamp the sentiment now!
When I first saw the colours I had no idea what I was going to do with them. I decided to rule flowers out, and have lots of Teal because I am on a real kick lately, and then started looking at my remaining stamp sets... as soon as I saw Ocean Commotion and thought of
Guylian chocolates and it was a done deal
. Hmm, this is becoming a trend isn't it, being inspired by chocolate... but there are worse things so it's all good, hehehehe.
All supplies by Stampin' Up!Cardstock: Taken With Teal, Whisper WhiteStamp Set: Ocean CommotionInks: Taken With Teal, Certainly Celery, Chocolate ChipAccessories: Bali Breeze paper, Chocolate Chip 1" Double-stitched ribbon, dimensionalsShow watched while creating: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Aussies, there are bound to be spoilers there (as with most I link to) but the page was taking that long to load I didn't see anything to worry about... but be warned!)
For this first one I used Trendy Trees again, and in a similar layout to the card I posted the other day. However, each tree top was cut out and shaped, as I hope you can see in the shot above. I've attached the tree tops with pop-up glue dots rather than my standard dimensionals so they will retain the rounded shape.

My second card ended up using a lot of glitter, and I even mixed the Chunky Sprinkles with the Fine Supernova. I filled the inside of the aluminium-edged tag with Tombow, sprinkled on some Iris Chunky Sprinkles, a little Celery Chunky Sprinkles, a few areas of Fine Turquoise and then filled the rest with Fine Olive. A little mess but quite effective! The glitter on the seahorse and seaweed (you can just see it in the bottom of the picture above) were attached using Heat & Stick powder.
