With all the hustle of working mom life I don’t colour as often as I’d like to. It’s definitely been way too long since I did some colouring for a project. And one of the reasons I love the Circle Sayings bundle is because the images are great for colouring. So this week I decided to finally get around to some colouring with Circle Sayings. And since it’s still July I’m going with a summer themed card.
So that’s where I started with my design. With the seashell image as my jumping off point, I went with Pool Party and Crumb Cake as my colour combination. I just love these colours for a summer/beach themed card. So I have Pool Party for my card base and then I added a strip of Crumb Cake across the centre. But not before I embossed it with the 3D Painted Texture embossing folder.
Behind the strip of embossed Crumb Cake cardstock are a few seashells. These ones are from the Season of Chic stamp set. Then on top of these layers I have my little seashells from Circle Sayings. I stamped it twice with Crumb Cake ink to create a ring. Usually when I’m colouring with my Stampin’ Blends I stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Fortunately it worked out for me. I used mostly the light Crumb Cake blend. But there’s also some light Pool Party, light Petal Pink and a little bit of the dark Crumb Cake.
Once that dried I punched it out and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then to finish it off I added a few of the Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.
I definitely need to do some more colouring with Circle Sayings! Maybe next time I’ll use the Watercolour Pencils.
