Inspired Sunset

Today's Splitcoaststamper's color challenge is just that ... a challenge.  Three very strong and vibrant colors (Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Rich Razzleberry).  Hot pink, bright orange and bright purple.  I don't have a couple of the colors, so I used the closest colors I had on hand.  I had fun with the challenge and came up with two completely different types of cards.

Here's a picture and the details of the first card  - finished size is the standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  Hope you like.

"Inspired Sunset"

 

 

Stamps:  Inspired by Nature (SU!); Gulls (Stampscapes)

I started by brayering Pumpkin Pie ink from the bottom of the page about 1/2 way up the page.  I then brayered Regal Rose from the top down until it met the Pumpkin Pie.  I brayered Rich Razzleberry over top of the Regal Rose, making sure to not completely cover the pink.

I stamped the grass image and gulls in Basic Black ink and then sponged the same ink along the bottom of the card.

I mounted the brayered image onto a frame of Basic Black and then mounted the whole panel onto the card base of Rich Razzleberry.

I stamped the cakes in Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and clear embossed.  I used the Stampin' Write markers to color in the cakes and add the sentiment.

I tied a knot of Pumpkin Pie ribbon around the main image and mounted it onto a frame of Regal Rose cardstock.

I mounted a background of Whisper White cardstock onto the card base of Regal Rose.  I mounted the main image panel onto the card using dimensionals to pop it up and add depth.
