Here is the dramatic colour combo for this month's RC challenge and I always love drawing inspiration from the accompanying graphic too!

I decided it was time to get a little inky and a lot messy ;) and tried the popular Boke Technique! This Technique is perfect for this month's colour combination, the yellow and bright pink are fun and flirty and the grey adds a real dramatic and edgy feel to it all. 

So, I pulled out my Distress inks - Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick and Black Soot and created the colour washed background on watercolour paper. I then made my stencil with circle dies from the RC Circles 'N Scallops and Fresh 'N Fruity Confetti Cuts just cut from cardstock as I didn't have any acetate sheets around. I stencilled in the white spots with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink and to get the small circles I pressed a juicy dauber directly to the paper.  After I was sure the background was completely dry (the next day) I stamped the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti In a Big Way Stamp set. I added some Pink American Crafts Hemp cord and a sprinkling of sparkly silver Gumdrops.

I wanted the  inside to be simple and so I just added a sentiment from the Beautiful Banners Stamp set and Beautiful Banners Confetti Cuts.

I made a second card as I was having SO much fun creating the water-coloured backgrounds. This time the emphasis is on the bright yellow and I added some yellow American Crafts Hemp cord and yellow Gumdrops. Again, I stamped another pretty, scripty sentiment from the Reverse Confetti In A Big Way Stamps set.

I finished of the inside with the Beautiful Banners Stamp set and Beautiful Banners Confetti Cuts.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my cards for the Reverse Confetti September Color Challenge!

Reverse Confetti...DS # 164 & August RC Color Challenge...Here We Go!

Hey stampin' friends! I'm feeling like I accomplished a ton of things today! I cleaned the kitchen, dusted, washed the floors, vacuumed and I cleaned my car! I got a new car in June and I've vowed to keep it clean and tidy ;) So, I thought I would make a card with the Reverse Confetti Here We Go Stamp set in honour of all my adventures in my new crystal red Chevrolet Equinox. 

I made my card with the Reverse Confetti August colour combo...LOVE it!

And I followed the FAB sketch that they have over at the Deconstructed Sketch!

I made my card with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Cardstock in Sweet Tooth, Electric Red,  NightShift Blue and used Pink Paislee Pen Pals 6X6 papers. I stamped the little car from the Reverse Confettti Here We Go Stamp set and used the Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts and the Doin' The Wave Confetti Cuts. 

I cut the Tag Me Confetti Cuts banner from gold sparkly corrugated cardstock and a few hearts from the Love Note Confetti Cuts and added some AC twine and gold sparkly Gumdrops from YNS! I stamped a sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Here We Go Stamp set with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Embossing ink and used AC Zing White Embossing Powder.

I finished off the inside of the card too...I embossed another sentiment from the Here We Go Stamp Set and I added another little red car.

Thanks SO much for popping by and havin' a wee peek at my card for the Reverse Confetti August Color Challenge and for The Deconstructed Sketch # 164!

Reverse Confetti...July Colour Challenge...Happy Birthday!

Hello stampin' friends! My package of new Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts from the July release arrived! New stash is always the perfect reason to make a card and The Reverse Confetti July Color Challenge is such a great combo this month; another great reason to get crafty!!! 

I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Sweet Tooth, Bubblegum, Blu Raspberry and Sour Apple 

As I said, the Reverse Confetti July Color Challenge is a such a pretty color palette but I also drew inspiration for this birthday card from the great inspirational photo of the funky cake and fun icing flowers. To make my version of some "icing" flowers I pulled out my Liquitex Light Modeling Paste and mixed it with Peacock Feathers Distress ink on my non-stick craft sheet with a palette knife and used the MFT Delicate Doily Stencil. 

I used the Reverse Confetti Petals n' Posies Stamp Set and Petals 'n Posies Confetti Cuts to make all the pretty flowers layered over the new Tag Me, Too Confetti Cuts. I also used the new Diagonal Stripe Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts and stamped a sentiment with the Beautiful Banners Stamp set and Beautiful Banners Confetti Cuts.

I finished off the inside of the card too, as always! I used the Love Notes Confetti Cuts, Class Act Confetti Cuts and layered over the new Diagonal Stripe Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts. I had to add a few more Petals 'n Posies and stamped another sentiment from the Beautiful Banners Stamp set on the the small tag from the Tag Me Confetti Cuts.

Thanks for swingin' by and havin' a little look at my card for the Reverse Confetti July Color Challenge!
