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.
