Welcome to June and a new month of color challenges. Our hostess this week is Linda and she is giving us bright fun colors to work with, Darling Duckling, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green with dessert of anything goes. I chose to use die cuts and DP.
I matted my Darling Duckling DP on WW before attaching my Darling Duckling card base. I then stamped and colored my image before die cutting and matting on Granny Apple Green. I layered a strip of Balmy Blue DP matted on same along side my image. I stamped and die cut my sentiment piece popping it up in the upper right corner. Last I added some rhinestones and glitter from my Gelly Roll pen to the squiggles in the coffee cup, the bee's antennas & wings. These are such happy and whimsical colors, so come play along! TFL.
