Summer Fun Layout ~ Color Dare #706

 Welcome to a new color challenge from our Design Team at Color Dare! Each Friday we give you a new set of colors to create with. Make any project you like using the colors in the graphic below. Make sure your colors are a very close match to those shown. There are free colors you can also use with the challenge colors. See the graphic below for more information.

Our challenge this week gives you 2 colors with 1 color of your choice. My color of choice is the bright green. My free colors are black and white.

I felt like creating a simple design today and the Scalloped Bloom Dies were sitting. on my desk. Layering the 3 smallest dies is perfect for making flowers. Using these colors and making the flowers reminded me of the 60's. Yes, I'm that old. ha ha ha.

Just a scattering of the flowers along the bottom as a wide border was all it took. I had a few leftovers over to use at the top as well. The title was done in the same 3 colors. I'm not good at stamping straight lines so it was our New Stampin' Positioner to the rescue. I tilted the letters because it fit the feeling of the layout but they are in a straight line! Some Rhinestone Jewels for flower centers and accents finished the look.

How will YOU use our colors? What will your color of choice be? We can't wait to see what you create! Have fun!

Favorite 3 from What's Up Wednesday

Yesterday in my What's Up Wednesday post I shared how changing out the card stock color can make a huge difference in the Berry Botanical Vellum and how it looks. This idea works with any project really. A simple color change is an easy way to alter the look of your design. 

I promised to share my favorite 3 color combinations today and here they are! Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia and Hydrangea Hue. Let's take a closer look.

Hydrangea Hue was going to be a favorite because it's my favorite new 2026-2028 In Color. This color really brings out the blues and accents the other colors, too. Adding the butterflies seemed like a natural with all the flowers. 

Fresh Freesia is layered on a Highland Heather card base. I love all the purple tones but it also makes the other colors pop, too. For fun I used our New White Gel Pen to dots the flower centers. 

Our White Gel Pen is the best I've ever used! There is no struggle to get the ink flowing and keep it flowing! You need to check it out!

Soft Sea Foam is another soft look brining out the greens in the Vellum. Simple butterfly accents are all it needed to finish the look.

As you can see, I favored the softer look with the colors. I do really like the darker colors, too, but those felt more Autumn-like and since we're entering Summer here I leaned towards the lighter look. However, the lesson is how changing the colors can make very different looks!

Give it a try and see what you think. Have fun with stand maybe you'll surprise yourself with what your favorites will be.

What's Up Wednesday ~ Color Variations

With  so many beautiful colors in this Berry Botanical Velum and how different it can look when paired with colored card stock, how do you choose? The translucent nature of Vellum makes it change so much at times! Let's take a look at how that can affect our design choices.

The Berry Botanicals Vellum is our May Product of the Month. It's an exclusive product you can buy for only $5 with a purchase of $75. This is a 12 pack of 4 different designs that are all gorgeous and fun. Below is photo of the 4 patterns in the pack. Can you just imagine what you'd make with these patterns?

For my project today I used the pattern in the lower right. It has an all over floral design with more white space in the background than the other floral. Let's take a look at how this floral can change and adjust when paired with different card stock colors.

The colors below are all 9 of the listed colors on the pack label. These are the colors in the patterns and I'm pairing each one with the Velum sheet I chose.

In the left column top to bottom is Flirty Flamingo, Hydrangea Hue, Strawberry Slush and Misty Moonlight. Right column top to bottom is Fresh Freesia, Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Soft Sea Foam and Bubble Bath. 

This is how the same pattern of Vellum looks layered on each of the card stock colors above.

1. Strawberry Slush  2. Misty Moonlight  3. Bubble Bath

4. Fresh Freesia  5. Peaceful Pine  6. Golden Glow

7. Flirty Flamingo  8. Hydrangea Hue  9. Soft Sea Foam

Wow! What a difference, right? The darker ones I feel are more Fall like or dramatic. The lighter ones feel like Spring. Fo they feel that way to you?

Which ones are your favorites? I'm still deciding. Come back tomorrow to see which 3 I've created with as my favorites!

Cute & Simple ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #683

Do you sometimes have trouble getting started on a project? A sketch is a great way to get the creativity going! it gives you a way to create just the way the sketch lays it out OR as a point to shift and pivot the design your way.

Our team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge shares a sketch each Monday to get you started. The blo9g opens on Wednesday for entries.You can use it as is or flip, flop, rotate, change shapes....whatever works for you. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your project. Most of all....have fun!

I wasn't sure where I was going when I sat down to create with this sketch. I ended up with a somewhat monochrome look and I love how it turned out. It looks even better in person! I did end up changing the flowers to vases of flowers but otherwise stayed with the sketch. 

I started with die cutting the border pieces with our New Bordered in Beauty set and the Paper Medley DSP. There are SO many different dies in this set! The versatility of it is off the scales! You'll be seeing this set show up a lot in my projects.

After I had that part done I focused on creating the images. I pulled out several sets but decided the vases of flowers from the Pop-Up Petals set was the way to go. This is the point where I decided to stick with the two colors: Hydrangea Hue and Misty Moonlight. 

Once the images were stamped I added color with our Blends but I eft the leaves uncolored rather than bring in a green. I also painted the flowers with Wink of Stella, but as usual it doesn't show well in the photo but adds a nice sparkle. The round vase is popped up with Dimensionals to give depth to the design.

Since there is a lot of white I edged the sentiment with a Blend. I added some cute little butterflies from the New 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies pack. 

I kept the inside simple, too. A couple of sentiment and some more flowers. That's it!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I love how this turned out. How will you use our sketch? We can't wait to find out.
