Hello, crafty friends! 🌸 Welcome to this month’s Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, where we’re diving into a beautiful colour challenge that has us feeling all the soft, dreamy vibes of spring! This month, I created a delicate floral card using the Year of Flowers stamp set paired with the Beautiful Bokeh DSP—and I am in love with the results! 💙💜💖
This challenge pushed me outside my comfort zone in the best way, and I hope it inspires you to create something fresh and fun! Let’s take a closer look at my project.
🌿 Card Details & Supplies Used
For this card, I wanted to highlight the stunning colours in this challenge while keeping the design soft and elegant. I chose:
✅ Stamp Set: Year of Flowers
✅ Paper: Beautiful Bokeh DSP, Basic White Cardstock
✅ Colours: Balmy Blue Ink, Watercolour Pencils (White, Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight)
✅ Embellishments: Iridescent Faceted Gems and Basics Wow! Embossing Powder
Here’s how I put it all together:
1️⃣ Background: I layered two soft Beautiful Bokeh DSP panel onto my card base. The blurred effect of this paper adds so much depth without extra work—so dreamy! ✨At the bottom of the card I stamped the daisy in Balmy Blue Ink and lightly coloured with Watercolour Pencils.
2️⃣ Focal Image: I stamped the daisy from Year of Flowers in Memento Black ink and coloured it with Watercolour Pencils for a soft effect.
3️⃣ Sentiment: The sentiment “Happy Birthday” (also from Year of Flowers) is stamped in Balmy Blue Ink. The larger sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
4️⃣ Finishing Touches: A few Iridescent Faceted Gems complete the look!
🎨 Playing with Colour Challenges
Colour challenges are a great way to step out of your creative routine and explore new palettes! This one had me mixing soft pastels in a way I hadn’t tried before, and I love how they blend together so seamlessly.
