A pretty thank you card made for the Colour Combo colour challenge Blog Hop using the Beautifully Happy stamp set by Stampin' Up

Beautifully Happy card for the Colour Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop where we are creating with the following colours:

 

 

Here are the colours used in this :

 

 

I used the pretty new stamp set Beautifully Happy to make my card.

To recreate the beautifully happy card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Poppy Parade card – 4⅝” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4 ½” by 3” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White, Poppy Parade & Coastal Cabana card

 

I stamped the solid inner floral image in the upper left and lower right corners of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Flirty Flamingo ink.

The large sprig of flowers was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. The in-fill leaves were then stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade Blends Markers were used to colour the flowers. A Coastal Cabana Stamp ‘n Write Marker added colour to the base of the flowers and smaller leaves.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Coastal Cabana ink around the edges of the decorated panel and used the same ink to stamp the dotty image randomly around the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer.

I wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. Yes I know it is technically another colour but in my opinion the colour is much closer to Flirty Flamingo. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Hydrangea Dies and was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals. I flagged the ends of scrap strips of Basic White, Poppy Parade and Coastal Cabana card and tucked them under the top right corner of the stamped panel.

A Fine Sparkle Gem was added to the centre of the largest flower and bow and trio of 2022 – 2024 Un Color Matte Dots completed the card.
