I chose to use Raspberry, Lagoon & Peacock. I pulled out the Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad, Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad & Stencil Pack 1 and used the Mini Ink Blending Tool to blend the two inks together on white daisy cardstock, using the big flower template. 

Stencil Pack 1

To finish off the card I cut the Lagoon Cardstock at 4.25x5.5 inches and the Raspberry Cardstock at 4 x 5.25 inches. The white cardstock was 3.75 x 5 inches.

Then I added a strip of Raspberry cardstock 4 x 0.75 inches wide and I stamped Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad using the Happy Birthday from the With All My Love—October Stamp of the Month.

To finish I stuck on a bow using a peacock spot ribbon from my stash.

Colour Dare #416 Comfort and Joy Tic-Tac-Toe

 

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #416 is using the colour palette from the Comfort and Joy collection. You can use Black & White but no other neutrals. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #416 and add your entry. When you submit your entry you must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. When you write your Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast Stampers, Instagram) identify the products that you use.

I chose the right hand side New England Ivy, Candy Apple and Gold but the Holly paper from the Comfort & Joy Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet pack also has tiny dots with Scarlet and the holly leaves are avocado so I went across the bottom as well. 

After choosing the Holly paper, Candy Apple Cardstock and New England Ivy Cardstock I pulled out my old (retired) Merry Christmas Tree thin cut and the Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts. I cut out two of the trees (one red and one green) and one large thin cut rectangle in the holly paper. 

I stuck the stitched rectangle frame on one White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack card
and the inside of the frame on the other card. I stuck the trees down with 3D foam tape (cut thin to fit on the lettering). To finish I put a white enamel star (retired) on the top and gold pearls (retired but you could colour current White Pearls with Antique Elements Metallic Markers)

Colour Dare #414 Autumn colours inspiration

 

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #414 is an inspiration photo with Autumn colours. You can use Black, White and all metallics and neutrals. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #414 and add your entry.

I am still playing with my new distress oxide inks and pulled out all the colours that I thought would match this colour inspiration. 

Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink Pad

Candied Apple Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad

Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink Pad

Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink Pad

Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink Pad

Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink Pad

Then I plonked each of the colours down on the All-purpose Mat, 

as shown below. Then spritzed with water. 

Then I put the 12x12 sheet of  White Daisy Cardstock down onto the mat and smooshed it around. 

After the above, I waited a little for it to dry... then added a little extra ink on the mat and spritzed some more water and smooshed it again. This is the finished paper below. 

After it dried a little I cut off 4.5 inches off one side and then cut out with Floral Background Thin Cuts

To finish the simple card off, I put Black Cardstock 4.25x5.5 inches on the cards from the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack using Tombow® Permanent Adhesive. Then  I adhered the front coloured overlay Floral Background Thin Cuts cut out then stuck down with the Dual-tip Permanent Glue Pen.
