CR84FN #64


Hi all, it's a new colour challenge today over at CR84FN, and it's a really beautiful combo! Light Blue, Yellow and Green.

I have used my favourite Waltzingmouse Stamps for a birthday card for my daughter's friend - she turned 13 on Friday, and this was deemed not too babyish for her !


I have used the lovely Nordic Spring to create the stamped background in Faded Jeans and Peeled Paint distress inks, stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock.


I then stamped the knit style circle using WMS Faux Fun Circles, and cut with nesties. I then cut a scalloped circle in blue Bazzill card stock, and layered this onto a yellow Bazzill circle also cut with nesties.


The sentiment is from WMS Compact Sentiments stamped in Frayed Burlap distress ink.

Before assembling I wrapped some green ruffled satin ribbon from Stampin' Up! and some blue waffle style ribbon around the middle.. I then added two waffle ribbon bows in blue and green topped with co-ordinating paper roses. I then layered the stamped panel onto some blue and yellow bazzill card.

Finally I added some gems to the flower middles and the sentiment circle.

Do stop by the rest of the Design Team for some more inspiration:
