Hello! And welcome to our National Scrapbooking Day celebration at Hiding in my Craft Room. Starting at 9:00 am today, a new challenge will be featuring every hour until 1:00 pm.

I'm here to join the second challenge of the day, a color challenge! We are to use a Stampin' Up combination: Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, and Melon Mambo. Feel free to use similar colors if you don't have these exact ones. You can use any brand that matches.

I created a flip card for this challenge. I got to use a lovely, lovely image courtesy of The Scrapbook Stamp Society... The card I designed is a birthday card for a girl. Please take a look:

I did this card using only a label die, the rest is all measures and hand cutting. If you follow the correct measures it's easy. For a better idea of how to put the structure together click here. I highly recommend that you layer the card with the desired papers before die cutting the label, it will save you a lot of time. Once the card was layered I adhered two labels, one with the image (colored with Spectrum Noir markers) on the front and another one with the inside sentiment. I left a column without any paper to leave a space to write a brief message inside. Finally I added ribbon vertically and a bow, which actually helps keep the card closed. A few crystals and I was done.
I hope you can play along in our 'Old Elegant Mambo' challenge. Just visit Hiding in my Craft Room and link up your creation. For more inspiration please visit my teammates' blogs:

Gracie,
ReplyDeleteI love this card, it is too, too, cute. I simply love the digi, and the nice festive colors you chose. You did it a great job.
Thanks! I know, that digi is SO lovely! I wanted it the moment I saw it! The color combination is actually the challenge! I'm so glad I had those colors in my stash! I decided I would work with a Spanish sentiment this time. I'm glad you liked it!
