Terrific Tuesday Colour Challenge

Today's challenge over at PCW is a colour challenge, using all the colours shown in the swatch here as well as string, twine, hemp etc.

Putting these colours all together proved to be a bit of a challenge but I managed with the help of a lovely digi image from Melin at PCW.

I used pale blue for the base card and made a gatefold card. That ScorPal is such a great tool!

I added a layer of cream that I embossed with my favourite swiss dots folder.

I cut the image and the backing card, the sentiment and its backing card with Spellbinders dies and edged the image and sentiment with antique linen distress ink.

I finished it all off with a bow made from natural coloured raffia.

I think I managed to cover all the colours in the swatch reasonably well!

Pop on over to join the rest of the team at the PCW Terrific Tuesdays Challenge and leave some lovely comments for the girls! Thanks for looking here as well.

More play!

Last night a friend came over and I showed her how to make a stair step card. She had never made one of these before so it was fun teaching her how to do it. She immediately saw a good use for the ScorPal she bought recently too!

The instructions for this card can be found at Split Coast Stampers .

I used a nice light green scrapbooking paper for the fronts of the "stairs". I punched borders in white card for the lace effect and layered with the green paper.

I cut the scalloped circles with my Cuttlebug - (nestabilities dies). Because the lower one was 1/4 inch wider than the smaller one, I decided to minimise the effect of too much white by edging it with an aqua coloured ink pad, which turned out quite well. The flower was one I picked up (as a bag of 10 ) from one of the local $2 shops. Sometimes they have some great bargains for crafting!

The ribbon was added to provide a little contrast.

Enjoy! Please leave a comment when you look at my blog. It is nice to know who is visiting...
