Floating for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop. Our colours this month are Melon Mambo, Bumblebee and Pool Party, such lovely bright cheerful colours. I have chosen to use the Floating and Fluttering stamp set to make my card. Please continue around the hop to see what inspiration the other demos have for us today.

To recreate the floating card, you will need:

Melon Mambo – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Bumblebee – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner x 2 – one for the inside
Whisper White 4” by 3”

Using the fabulous Blending Brushes, I added some Pool Party ink to one of the large Whisper White panels. I added some speckles using a stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set using the same Pool Party ink. This adds some subtle texture to the image.

I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in the corner using Melon Mambo ink. The panel was then added to the Bumblebee layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using Basic Gray ink I stamped the butterfly image from the Floating & Fluttering stamp set and die cut it out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, which I love……. and the Fluttering dies.

I used the infill stamps to colour the butterflies, The largest in Melon Mambo, the smaller two in Bumblebee, 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. I coloured the leaves in using the Pool Party ink. I added them to the card base with Dimensionals.
