This week's Color Challenge is hosted by Jeanne. She selected the color combination of SU Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, and So Saffron, with a dessert option of balloons. These colors are a beautiful combination!
I had great fun creating this Surprise Box for the challenge. To create the box, I used the ODBD Surprise Box dies to cut out the box from Bermuda Bay cardstock. Next, I sponged onto a piece of white cardstock Hero Arts Distress Oxides inks that match closely to the color combination. I used the balloon and string stamps from Hero Arts Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set and VersaMark® ink to stamp balloons onto the cardstock. I covered the images with Clear Embossing Powder and melted the powder. That was my first step to include "dessert" on my box (i.e., balloons).
I sponged the same inks onto another piece of white cardstock and use it to cut out balloons, streamers, a small bow, small hearts, a flower, borders, and gift boxes. Using SU Silver Glimmer paper, I die cut some "fireworks". I attached the embellishments to the box and added a sentiment.

Wow such a lovely surprise this will be, I so love the sparkle and the pretty soft colors and how they all blend together perfectly, such a fun arrangement of everything and love that bow!
I like the idea of having a die to create the box that way you can spend your time decorating instead of getting the score lines right!!! The color is so fabulous! This is wonderful!

Fantastic surprise box and a party itself! Love the soft colors from the DOX inks (which remind me of rainbow cotton candy) and festive embellishments. Wow!
