#tgifc276 Color Challenge: Playful Alphabet Birthday Card
TGIF! It’s Time for a Color Combination Challenge!
Welcome to another TGIF Challenge, this week it’s time for a color challenge! Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay, and Gorgeous Grape! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bright and cheery color combo! Circles and Playful Alphabet Dies is about you need to complete this card.
Begin by using a Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Crop circles of Shimmery White Cardstock using a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the following dies:
-
- Layering Circles (2 smallest)
- Playful Alphabet (Center of O, and 9)
- Wreath Builder (Tiny Circle)
Color with Classic Ink and a Water Painter size of your choice. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.
Use the Playful Alphabet Dies to crop the “HAPPY” in Basic Black Cardstock that has been adhered to a Foam Adhesive Sheet.
Peel off the protective backing (Foam Adhesive Sheet) and adhere to the card as shown.
Stamp the “birthday” sentiment (So Much Happy Stamp Set) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink as shown.
I love the look of watercolored circles. I always make sure that I apply the color in a gradient fashion, it steps the circles up to another level.
