Colour Me...! CMCC #8 - Let your dreams take flight

This is my third post, Guest Designing at Colour Me...!  I'm still so excited that Tara and Hayley invited me!  You know...these color combos just get better and more fun each week.  I love this week's trio of colors.
Take a look at the CMCC #8 inspiration.


I adore these soft, subtle colors.  Don't you?


Yes.  You're seeing the same feather stamp set that I used last week.  Well...it was still on my craft table and I just love these images.  AND this week's colors were just perfect for feathers.
That's my excuse. Lol!

I inked my feathers with all 3 challenge colors.  After stamping them onto watercolor paper, I misted them with water to blur the images a bit.  Once that had dried, I misted with Mister Huey's Shine color mist.  If you look closely at the first photo (click on it for a larger photo) I think you can see a bit of the droplets of shine.

This technique is so easy and so much fun.  Have you tried it?  Well, you'll want to see what the Design Team at CMCC has created...they're so talented.  Just click HERE!

Colour Me...! Challenge #7 - Hello!

I'm sharing a card that I created as the February Guest Designer at Colour Me...!  I'm having a lot of fun with these challenges.  The color combinations for the month are wonderful.  You'll want to check them out every week...trust me.  :)

Here's our inspiration for CMCC #7.


I used 2 neutrals along with the Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party challenge colors.

I used gold as one neutral, heat embossing my feather image and the sentiment onto Pool Party card stock.  That was matted onto Rich Razzleberry.  Then I used white as my card base.  The last touch was popping on the little sentiment banner.
Using these 2 colors together was a bit of a challenge for me at first.  You don't want to see my first attempt!  But I'm pleased with this card and had fun playing with this new feather stamp set I just received.
Thanks for stopping by.  Now it's time to go take a look at the inspiration provided by the Design Team at CMCC!  Just click HERE!
