Stamping With Friends June Blog Hop Color Combination Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends June Blog Hop as we share projects featuring this month's Color Combination Challenge. Our Design Team members have been challenged to create a project using Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Mango Melody and Pacific Point to help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone with these beautiful colors.

When I saw this color combination, it made think of one of my favorite bundles from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, Seas The Day Bundle, which is unfortunately retiring. The images in this bundle are perfect for creating a fun, colorful seaside themed card. I also used the Gentle Waves stamp set (also retiring) to create the background for my design and I just love the wonderful texture this stamped image adds to the card. This card design would be great for a Summer birthday and would work well for Father's Day (you still have one more day) card.

This fun card design has lots of wonderful layers to add texture and dimension. I love the way the Tahitian Tide waves look in the background to create depth and movement. I stamped the octopus with Mango Melody and the crab and two fish with Sweet Sorbet before die cutting them with the coordinating dies. The detailed frame creates a wonderful scene for this design, I love how the seaweed and coral create an almost interactive background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto the Pacific Point circle and added it to the center of the card design. I added the octopus and crab towards the bottom of the card design and the two fish with Stampin' Dimensionals so that they slightly overlap the sentiment label. To finish off the design, I added two small Basic Rhinestones to the center label for a touch of bling.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore creating your own beautiful projects with these wonderful colors.
