Words Could Never Express - Color Dare #556 "Six Pack"

Here is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #556 "Six Pack" using the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #614.  From the Color Board you must choose at least three colors... my choice was Ballerina, Mulberry, Avacado + Glacier. 




With the color choices it seemed pretty simple to select a floral stamp for the replacement of the oval frame. The floral base was stamped and die cut using white cardstock. Three more of same floral were stamped and cut using the colors Ballerina, Mulberry and Avocado... each floral was fussy-cut and adhered to the floral base using some glue and lfiting edges with 3D thin foam tape for dimension. Die cut a bow in Mulberry, layered with cardstock and adhered to stems of floral.

My decision for another color for the background was to let the floral pop... this Glacier checkered pattern did just that.  The banners were white cardbase layered with Glacier border to again put the focus on the floral.  To fill in the upper portion of the card a sentiment was stamped using black ink on white cardstock and layered with Mulberry.  

Inside Card:  Used the assortment of the little stamps from same stamp set... stamped randomly on bottom right-hand corner using inks that closely matched colors and the balance is left for personal comments.
