So I hope you enjoyed the Birthday Blog Hop this past weekend! I created this card in honor of Stampin' Addicts' first birthday, using a little help from Mojo Monday's sketch and colourQ's color combo this week...
Arielle's color picks were Melon Mambo, Regal Rose, Apricot Appeal, and Green Galore. Green Galore is definitely a color I don't use very much! I balanced out these bright colors with Basic Black and Whisper White, and my card measures 4-1/4" square. To create the focal point, I stamped the turtle from Fox & Friends in Green Galore, then added a little cupcake on top of his shell from Crazy for Cupcakes. The Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set has a pedestal with several cupcakes on it, but I simply stamped and cut one out. I then colored in the cupcake using the ink pads and Blender Pen. Too cute!
If you haven't checked out Stampin' Addicts yet, you really should! It is a positive community for stampers, centered around Stampin' Up!. Feel free to give me a shout-out over there.. my username is simply Melissa!
See you later!

ReplyDeleteI REALLY like this Melissa! I love your hand drawn border around the edge and the way you angled the dsp under the turtle - not to mention the cupcake on his back!
