coast to coast colour challenge

Alright crafty friends, this colour combo had me at hello 💙🌸 Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Darling Duckling and Melon Mambo together feel like a tropical smoothie for your craft table… bright, fresh and impossible to ignore! Add in some BRUSHED WITH BEAUTY 12" X 12" DSP which is one of fav, SPLASH OF SPARKLES 12" X 12"and new GARDEN POETRY coming next month and I used the new NATURE'S SYMPHONY dies to bring it all together.

For this team colour challenge, I wanted something bold but balanced. The soft Balmy Blue leaves help calm the vibrant Flamingo and Mambo tones, while Darling Duckling brings that sunny pop that makes everything sing.

Basic Steps:

Start with a Basic White card base and a smaller mat layer of flirty flamingo
Cut a piece of the DSP smaller then the Flirty and then round 2 corners then layer it onto Flirty Flamingo cardstock for a bold frame.
Die cut foliage in Beautiful Beauty DSP & Splash of Sparkles DSP and cut a circle from spotlight of nature dies
Arrange and adhere the leaves in a loose cluster across the card front.
Stamp your sentiment in Melon Mambo onto a die cut circle.
Pop the sentiment up with dimensionals over the leaf cluster.
Add embellishments for a little extra sparkle and texture.

I love how this combo feels cheerful without being overwhelming. It’s playful, punchy and perfect for birthdays or just-because cards. Now it’s your turn… what would you create with these four fabulous colours? 💌✨
