DYSU #80 - Cool Colours

Hi all today brings us another challenge from DYSU, and this week we would like to see you use..


Cool Colours - so use the colours in the inspiration photo, or your interpretation of this theme, but they must be cool!

I have made a card using the fun Happy Birthday Balloon from The Stamping Boutique, one of our generous sponsors this week.


I coloured the fab image with Pro and Flexmarkers and cut with a Go Create die.


I added some little punched flowers made with a Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty Punch. I added some pale green pearl drops to the image panel, and to the centres of the little flowers.


The sentiment is by Uniko Studios FONTiments Birthday set, stamped onto a little die cut doily using a PTI die.


The backing panel was created using some lovely Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane papers, matted onto some Stampin' Up! Poppy Parade card. I used a Martha Stewart edger punch on the layered papers in the middle, and added a seam binding bow, in Bay Leaf (from The Ribbon Reel) under the sentiment doily.

Here are our generous sponsors this week:
