Colour Dare #390 choose three colours or more

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #390 is using these lovely colours at least 3 or more of the colours. Black, White and all neutrals are free to use. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #390 and add your entry. 

I chose Peacock (my absolute favourite colour), with Peach and Glacier (light side). 

I used the Mix-in Paper Packet X9013 for the pretty decorative blue paper

with Peach Cardstock, Peach Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and 

Peacock Cardstock. 

I used regular Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad

but I didn't wait long enough for it to dry before I used the pens so the black ran a little. I should have used archival black ink or Intense Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad or Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. 

I random stamped the diamond stamps on the peach light side with peach ink using the Unicorn Dreams Stamp + Thin Cuts. 

Then I stamped the cute unicorn face and coloured it. I put the peach ink edged around the white and peach squares to have it stand out and the peacock ink around the edges of the peacock cardstock. I did a little pennant banner to finish off. I did put 3D foam tape under the unicorn to have him stand out. The Jade Green TriBlend™ Marker was the closest to the peacock and the Pale Pink TriBlend™ Marker for the ears and cheeks 

Cardstock is on sale, So use the random stamping technique to make fun designs with your cardstock.... This is the perfect time to sort your stash and work out which colours you are running short of. Then you can do the multi-packs or combo-packs or single colour packs.

I decided to make a birthday card using the paper from the Some Kinda Wonderful kit and the Sweet Birthday Stamp + Thin Cuts.

I cut a strip of the Some Kinda Wonderful Scrapbooking paper to have just the circles and cut it to fit the 4 1/4" × 5 1/2" White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack card. I cut out four of the little party hats from the Sweet Birthday thin cuts on White Daisy Paper and stamped them with Black Memento™ Ink Pad. 

I coloured in with my shinhan markers and cut the fourth stamp to fit both the edge "faces". Then I stamped on all the different little faces from the Sweet Birthday stamp set. I stuck it all together with my new favourite adhesive Tombow® Permanent Adhesive.

I sliced a quarter inch strip of the black paper to line the bottom of the faces and stamped Birthday Wishes title from an old stamp set with Memento Ink. I think it turned out really cute!! What do you think?

Next I made some pages using the 4-3-2 pattern that I am teaching at my National Scrapbooking Day workshop coming up in May. I really like this versatile fast formula for getting pages completed so I was having a play with these papers too. Ask your consultant to explain this and give you the cutting guides. 

I used the black cardstock to mat my photos (when I get them printed) and they are cut at 4x6 and 3x4 sizes. Once I know what photos I'm sticking onto this page then I'll add my complements and accessories for titles... to complement my photos.
