Floral Layout ~ Color Dare #508

Welcome to our Color Challenge! Each Friday we give you a set of colors to create with. You can make any paper craft you like. We reference Close To My Heart color but you can use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. Kind of close doesn't count. When you're ready to join the challenge just use the link in the post on our home page. 

I love how this layout turned out! I just a pattern to get me started. It's from one of our How-to Books called Make It from Your Heart. I used Volume 2, Pattern 2 for this layout. We have many volumes with tons of patterns for layouts and cards!

The stamp set is one of our new ones in the Core Catalog for 2022-23. I couldn't wait to try it out and this is the result. Using White Daisy Cardstock for the base I lightly drew pencil lines to help keep myself on track when stamping. The other colors I used are Flamingo, Mulberry, Sangria, New England Ivy and Avocado. I used the same colors of Exclusive Inks, too. By the way, Sangria and New England Ivy are retiring colors the end of this month. So it's time to stock up!

After stamping on a Post-it note I fussy cut it out to use as a mask. I made masks for the two flower shapes. I started by stamping a large flower across the seam of the two bases and kept adding flowers as I moved to the outer edge of my pencil line. I went back to add the small flower, then added the leaves. Finally I added the small stems and flower buds. The last step was to add some dots of Goldenrod Stickles to the center of the large flowers and around as accents. The mat with white cardstock is for journalling.

The next step was to add the cardstock pieces to the layout and stamp the title on the left page. It's very simple when you have a sketch with all the cutting dimension and placement guide!
