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.

I missed this in the gallery, but I agree with the crowd...it is amazing. I have always wanted to try this technique, but have never been able to come up with any ideas. The colorful streamers and silver glitter sun ray on the top look fsbulous.
