Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - Jan 2022 Color Inspiration

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 

Today features the Color Inspiration challenge. The team will shares projects incorporating the colors of Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather and Flirty Flamingo. 

With these colors, I immediately thought of the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper. I've been creating a bunch of Valentine and 'Love' themed cards in my studio. It was time to switch up using Red!  

The Sweet Talk paper has a design with lots of hearts with cute sayings on them, like the Conversation Hearts candies many kids hand out during Valentines day. I decide to cut a bunch up and incorporate them in my card. 

The Hearts have a bit of a water color effect to them, so I decided to use my water color paper to add the Coastal Cabana color using refill ink drops and my water brushes. I really like the water color effect. 

I also roughly followed a sketch design to make it easy to pull the card together. Very little stamping involved, other than a sentiment on the inside. I added a nice layer of texture with my new favorite Gingham embossing folder. Lastly I added a few iridescent rhinestones for bling. 

Here are some details so you can join me in making a few more of this easy card. Sub out supplies you have or consider getting this cute paper and the Sweet Conversations bundle!
