This is my card for CC723. Jeanne is our hostess and she has chosen calypso coral, coastal cabana and pool party for her color trio. Dessert option is add a metallic.
I like to make Valentine cards using non-traditional colors so I thought I would give these ones a try. And, with the help of Stampin'-Up's neutrals (soft suede, baked brown sugar, crumb cake, smoky slate and mossy meadow), I think I was successful.
Started by sponging my clouds with tumbled glass distress ink- its really close to pool party. Then I started creating my little hedgie scene.
I used the new CottageCutz Valentine Hedgehog die.
For the hearts I used calypso coral and sponged them with the same ink to make them darker. For the grass, I used mossy meadow but with a very light touch since this is a very dark green.
To cover the metallic, I used some Wink of Stella on the coral hearts. Stamped my sentiment on a cloud and that finished my card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. We can't wait to see what you will do with Jeanne's fabulous color combination.
