Raspberry Suite Colour Challenge # 10

Published by Makeesha at 2:31 pm under Colour Challenges

 YYYYYAAAAAYYYYYY~!!!

I have finally done one of the very gorgeous and talented Dawn McAvey’s colour challenges! I saw this one today and the coloured really popped for me. SO I whipped out the supplies and here is what I came up with….

The colours:

 

I wasn’t sure where this card was heading when I started, but here is where it landed…..rather different, but something about it I liked in the end.

I have used Chocolate chip cardstock for the base, and added two different strips of DSP from the Raspberry tart pack from Stampin’Up. I have cut a medium circle of Very vanilla cardstock, and then stamped the large filigree image from the Kind thoughts stamp set from Stampin’Up! (retired) with Chocolate ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.

The butterfly is stamped in Cameo coral and rock and rolled in Rose red ink. I have then cut it out, and blinged it up with some glitter. Lastly I added the wide Chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, and dressed it up with a Vanilla button from Stampin’Up’s button latte box. I then added the vanilla half pearls with mini glue dots to decorate the outer perimeter of the circle.

Thanks Dawn for a lovely challenge, and I hope to make it back again soon!

Love Keesh

    Hey Keesh, love your card for this challenge. Dawn will love that bow and button…perfect. I’ve been wanting to play along too but every week I seem to look at the colours, adore them and not do anything about it… lol.
