#TGIFC428 Color Challenge Textured Floral

 Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today, I'll be sharing with you a card I've made for TGIF Challenge #TGIFC428 and the challenge is "Colour Challenge" Make sure you check out the design team and see their amazing projects. The colours are Sweet Sorbet, Lemon Lolly and Basic Black.

Here's my take on these gorgeous colours it certainly isn't something I would normally use when it comes to card making, but I'm always up for a challenge.

I've used the Textured Floral bundle and it's been my go-to the bundle is from the Stampin' Up! 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. The reason why is because I've been creating a display board for The Create, Share and Play demonstrator team event called "35 for 35" it's a global event to help celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Stampin' Up! It's on this weekend and we have a very special guest flying in from Utah, Sara Douglass our amazing Stampin' Up! CEO. I can't wait!!

Now for my card I created a water colour wash using Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and a Water Painter I used the large flat brush tip. I started with Lemon Lolly ink and then Sweet Sorbet. I like to add lots of water and play around with the two inks. I also use the Heat Tool to push the ink around on the paper.

To create the three larger flowers, I stamped them in Sweet Sorbet ink and then stamped off twice onto the grid paper. Then using the Stampin' Spritzer spritz water onto the stamp and then stamp onto Basic White Cardstock. I also did this with the smaller Lemon Lolly flowers. Then die-cut out the flowers.

The elements of Basic Black are flower centers and foliage die-cuts from the Textured Floral Dies in Basic Black Cardstock. The sentiment is heat embossed using White Stampin' Powder with Basic Black Cardstock. Basic Black Cardstock for the card base and my go to favourite ribbon is the Black & White Gingham Ribbon. Oh, and I added a few of the Lemon Lolly Solid Gems to finish off the card.
