It’s TGIF Challenge Time!
Bright and bold and beautiful! This week’s color challenge is all of those things! It has been a while since I’ve made something with so many bright colors together. It took my brain a while to wrap around what I wanted to do, but once I started it was kinda fun!
Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.
Cute! Cute! Cute! That’s what I think of these Darling Dinos. My goal was to try and do something a little different.
I started with the Perennial Postage Dies. I used one of the largest dies to create the Basic Black layers. I cut it out and then cut it in half and put it on either side of the card. I then layered some Coastal Cabana, Berry Burst and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Only the Coastal Cabana layer was cut without using a die.
I also used the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder to add dimension to the Basic White card base and the Pumpkin Pie layers.
I colored the adorable little triceratops using Light and Dark Pool Pary Stampin’ Blends, as well as some Berry Burst and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends to color the accents on the dino and the balloons.
Basic White Baker’s Twine was used for the ballon strings and I accented the panels with a few Basic Black Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.
Lastly, the sentiment panel was another one of the Perennial Postage Dies turned 90 degrees to make it a diamond instead of a square.
