Array meets Calypso Coral

September 19, 2011

I really love the new Hostess Set Array of Sunshine so I was happy to be able to use it again this time for two challenges in one.   Firstly the In-Colour Challenge at Late Night Stampers and the sketch challenge at Stamping 411.

I kept this card really simple to go with the sketch.  I stamped the large flower from the Array of Sunshine stampset three times onto Whisper White card using Calypso Coral ink and cut a different section out of each one – one full flower,  one two-section flower and lastly the central flower.  I layered the flowers on top of each using dimensionals.  I stamped the large leaf image twice onto Whisper White card using Lucky Limeade ink and cut them out.  I attached a piece of Whisper White card onto a layer of Lucky Limeade card and then onto a folded and scored Whisper White base card.  I arranged the leaves onto the card front and attached the flower over the top of the leaves.

I just love the dimension that you can achieve with this gorgeous flower.   So simple and yet so stunning.

Aren’t the new in-colours this year fantastic – I love them.  This gorgeous Calypso Coral is such a pretty pink/coral colour and the Lucky Limeade is really bright but has great depth of colour.

I’d love to hear what you think of this simple card.

bye for now, Kris.
