Just Add Ink #372 Colour Challenge

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a fabulous day. My afternoon was spent unpacking my pre-order goodies!! So exciting.  All the dies got placed on a  magnetic sheet and the stamp sets found a home (alphabetically) on the "current" shelf. They are all snug in their new forever home lol
 
Guess what.....It's challenge time over at Just Add Ink. Yipeeeee!  And, I am still a guest designer, the JAI DT have not booted me yet (insert squishy face) Anywho, enough gas bagging, this weeks challenge is a colour combination using Tranquil Tide, Powder Pink and Pool Party.

Such a pretty combination don't you think? I instantly thought cottage gardens and flower bouquets. However, when I sat down at my desk I changed my mind, and decided to not go down the pretty Floral pathway, instead opting for something with lots of angles. This was the result



 
I really love these diamonds and wanted to make a few cards with the gorgeous die cuts as my focal point.The card front has been stamped with a splatter image from the sadly retired Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, in Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide, Pool Party and Black Momento inks.

The Eclectic Thinlits were used to cut the diamonds from gold foil card. The backs of the diamonds were cut from the 3 different challenge colours and adhered to the gold foil with tombow.
 
I used the sentiment from the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set, heat embossed in white on black card. I then backed the sentiment with gold foil card and adhered to card front with tombow.

The diamonds have been attached with dimensionals and a few gold sequins were added to finish it off. Quick, simple and easy to reproduce.

Why not join us and play along with the challenge over at Just Add Ink its such a gorgeous colour combination and its really easy to enter. Also, dont forget to stop by and check out all the amazing creations the talented Design Team have provided for inspiration.
 
Until next time, stay awesome
