Stampin' Royalty Challenge #4

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #4 was a real challenge for me and I gave myself an even bigger challenge. The challenge I gave to myself was -- DO NOT use Bold Brights. I needed to get out of my comfort zone and use other colours. I looked for my colour wheel to give me some inspiration and wouldn't you know it, I couldn't find it. I was on my own....arghhhh.

Well, this is what I came up with....enjoy!!!!

Stampin' Royalty #3 - Single Layer Project

This is the third challenge for our Stampin' Royalty group and I have been very negligent in posting the other 2 challenges. I will try and stay on top of things as much as I can.

I have had fun creating these cards. I love challenges...it gets the mind going.

Steps:

1. Punched a sheet with the Curly Label Punch
2. Taped it to the front of the card
3. Stamped the card using the En Francais stamp using Rose Red Classic Ink
4. Sponged the rest of the card using So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue Classic Ink
5. Removed the Curly Label punch
6. Stamped the sentiment on the white empty space



Stamp Sets:
En Francais, Well Scripted

Ink:
Rose Red, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue

Punches:
Curly Label
