As a crafter driven largely by colour, I always look forward to As You See It's Colour Challenges, and this one is no exception. This triad of colours, chosen by my team mate, Deb, is pretty close together on the colour wheel, on the blue to green side and so could be rightfully called Almost Analogous. Here's the Challenge Banner:
I happen to love blue - green combinations, so this was right up my alley! For an As You See It Colour Challenge, you must use all the given colours ONLY, plus one neutral which can include white, black, vanilla or Crumb Cake. White cardstock and black outline ink are freebies.
I took a long time deciding what stamp set would work the best with this colour palette, and finally decided on Country Flowers. Besides, I haven't used it yet, and it is high time I did.
Here's my Design Team sample:

- On a card base of Basic White thick cardstock, I added a Deckled Rectangle die cut piece of Azure Afternoon cardstock. The die is the largest from the Deckled Rectangle set.
- I also used the next largest Deckled Rectangle die to cut a layer of Basic White cardstock (regular thickness). I blended some Azure Afternoon ink lightly on it, then embossed it with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to the center of the Azure Afternoon layer.
- On another piece of Basic White, I stamped the images of the stool, the plant bucket holder, the leafy green plant and the "sending love" sentiment.
- Using the Stampin' Blends combos, I coloured the images as follows:
stool: Crumb Cake
bucket: Azure Afternoon and light Granny Apple Green
leafy plant: Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green
- I die cut those images and added them to the card front with either glue dots, or Stampin' Dimensionals!
- I used the banner from Perennial Postage dies to die cut the sentiment, and a foliage die from Country Flowers dies, to back the sentiment, and adhered the sentiment using both dimensionals AND a Glue Dot.
- I added 3 Rhinestones to embellish without adding a different colour.

That's beautiful Heather - the colours are just perfect for the planted bucket!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deborah! I was surprised at how well they worked for the bucket.
DeleteWOW! This is fabulous Heather. I don't have this set and at times like this, feel some regret about that. The blue bucket is so realistic looking and the foliage is lovely. You've rocked these colours for sure. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's taken me a long time to use this set, Jan, but I am glad I did. It reminded me a bit of my favourite retired Country Home bundle.
