If you search for Color Throwdown in Pinterest, you will get lots of suggestions for colour combinations which usually consist of 3 - 4 colours. Why don't you try a combination today that you wouldn't normally go for?
I wanted to show you today how you can really mix up the colour combinations and layouts using this stamp set and I have 4 examples for you that could be packaged as a set of 4 as a gift.
I've used Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Smokey Slate for this card. I love this version and I just couldn't bring myself to add the glittery butterfly that I made as I think its perfect as it is.
This is a colour combination that I really like but haven't used very much - its Chocolate Chip, Blushing Bride & Pear Pizazz.
The next version is very similar to a design by Michelle Last and uses Black Memento Ink, Crumb Cake & Sahara Sand. Click here to see Michelle's stunning version.
The final card uses Night of Navy and Pool Party ink. I also used Crumb Cake and Island Indigo for the card base and layer.
To make the glittery butterflies I stamped the image onto Whisper White cardstock. I used my versamark stamp pad directly over the image to ensure the surface area covering the butterfly was sticky. I then coated this area with heat and stick powder and heated it with my Heat Tool. Once this had glazed over I then covered the area again with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I used my heat gun again to set the glitter. To finish it off, I punched out the image using the Elegant Butterfly Punch and used Stampin’ Dimensionals® to pop the image up on the card.
I would love to see any designs you have come up with using this stamp set - please post a link to your pictures in the comments section.
