An absolutely FABULOUS color challenge is in store for you this week with our TGIF Challenge #575! I used the A Round of Hellos Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! paired with the challenge colors which lead to a fun cheery time in my craft room making it!
Can you guess the colors?! Well, if not ... here you go! Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, and Melon Mambo! 😍💖
And here is a pic of the focal point: * Stamp "Hello" circle stamp set on Vellum, emboss with white embossing powder, punch with 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
* Stamp and fussy cut flower pieces.
* Make strips! Stamp dots on Coastal Cabana. Emboss with Soft Waves Embossing Folder on Two-Tone Melon Mambo Cardstock. Stamp greeting on Crumb Cake with Pecan Pie ink.
NOTE: I use the half circle stripe image from the stamp set
Did you notice the stripes on the card base?! That was made with this stamp from the A Round of Hellos Stamp Set:

We have a fun sketch this month over on Instagram with the Fancy Friday Design Team! Want to see the card I made for this sketch?! Hope so ... because I am sharing it! I used some fun colors and the fabulous Boardwalk Fun Bundle ...
And here is the official sketch:
It is such a fun sketch that you can take a million different ways. I used some Blends Markers to color the palm tree die-cuts. The backgound circles die is from the Lovely Arrangements Dies. The embossing folder I used is the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.
Colors of card: Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Pecan Pie, Coastal Cabana. Now here are some detailed shots of the card:
And one last shot of the whole card:

Super love the Gears & Textures Bundle and today I have the stamp set paired with the Words of Beauty Bundle for this fun birthday card!
Love this watercolored background. I used Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party ink. Then when it was fully dried (use Heat Tool to make it fast!), I embossed some of the images from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set with Silver Embossing Powder.
A little note ... I wanted the "because" word cut out, but in the background. So I did this "inlaid" technique. Use Adhesive Sheet to adhere the watercolor paper to a piece of cardstock on the back. Then ran it through. It won't fully cut through but if it does cut pieces out, you can easily just put them back with the Adhesive Sheet behind it. Here are a few more pics of the details:
Love the side detail from the Perennial Postage die cut from Silver Foil Sheets. Just love that silver shine fun!
One last look at the full card:
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoy this card. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!
