Pacifica, Outdoor Denim and Ruby Color Dare!

Welcome to another Color My Heart color challenges! This week the challenge is to use Pacifica, Outdoor Denim and Ruby. 

I love this color combination! 

I needed to make some more thank you cards and this is what I came up with. Its a very simple and clean style which really makes the colors pop! 

First I used the Cricut to cut a circle in a piece of scrap cardstock. I saved the circle for another project and used the circle cut out as a stencil. TIP: when you place a couple of dots of glue from our glue pen on your paper/cardstock and let it air dry, you then have a post-it note! It will hold in place and then peel up when you're finished!

So I used my stencil, Ruby ink and a sponge to create the circle. I kept the center a bit lighter and faded darker around the edges. Next I stamped the flowers from Happy Autumn in Outdoor Denim ink. I masked the bottom of the circle so when I stamped I could keep the flower stems right down to the edge of the circle. The "thanks" message is also from the Happy Autumn set but I didn't want the other words. Since our stamps are acrylix I just trimmed them off and was ready to go! to keep the circle element going I used the corner rounder on just the top corners of the white cardstock. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added a small white pearl to the base of each flower. I used the Pacifica marker to color the pearl to match the theme. Its very subtle and looks wonderful in person!
