The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #117

This week is our last challenge for 2016 and we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

CASE'd from Michelle Lupton

I know the colours we were given are quite bold but I muted them down by watercoloring and 2nd gen stamping. I used Elegant Eggplant for my sentiment and dashes but the colour is so dark that it looks like black. I also used a few neutral colours for may card stock which may be bending the rules just a little. (wink)

Welcome from Alison's blog.

This week we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

I loved this stamp set the first time I saw it and it really is a great deal when you purchase it as a bundle. It consists of 37 stamp images so you can create a whole variety of different designs with the one bundle of stamps. I really love how feminine the flowers look and having the co-ordinating dies really makes it easy to cut the images out. I have made a 99mm x 105mm (folded DL) card which was the perfect size for the middle sized jar. The envelope was created with the new 2016/18 In Colour Envelope Paper and the Envelope Punchboard.
