Colour Create Challenge Two - Peach and Aqua

Good morning all!

I'm delighted to be back with my second Design Team card for Colour Create. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us last week; what an amazing response :o)

Here are the details of this week's challenge then:

Please make your card using Peach and Aqua. You can also use cream/white for your cardstock and flesh colours for any images.

There is an extra option available which you can use if you wish, although this isn't compulsory. This week's option is 'DIY flowers', which means not using any pre made, bought flowers on your cards and projects. Here are some ideas which might help:

Stamp a flower onto card and cut it out

Punch and layer flowers

Die cut flowers

Doodle your own flowers

Stitch flowers

Peel and mount stickers to form a flower

Use shaped petals eg, hearts to form a flower

Make flowers from Nestie shapes

Make a ribbon flower


I'm sure there are lots more ways, please feel free to come up with your own! Don't forget that embossing, distressing, ink edging, etc will all add to the effect and you could add a stamen to the centre. Also glitter, glossy accents, liquid pearl drops might work well. Unusual materials might include tissue paper, vellum, acetate, chipboard...... just a few ideas.



For my card I used a freebie stamp which came with a craft magazine this month. I created my DIY flowers by using a Sizzix Die for the outer layers and then stamping a smaller flower for the centre.

Materials:

Image - Freebie Set
Sentiment - Scrappy Cat
Flowers Stamp - Freebie Set
Hearts Stamps - Magazine Freebies
Papers - Scraps from my stash
Dies - Sizzix Dhalia, Sizzix Leaves, Nestabilities Hearts
Embossing - Cuttlebug Hearts
Colouring - ProMarkers
Embellishments - Pearls from my stash

I hope you can join us this week, these really are fun colours to work with and I know you'll enjoy creating your DIY flowers.
