We have a colour challenge for you today at Hand Stamped Sentiments - #CC333
Don't be put off by the colours if you don't have the exact ones - I'm no longer an SU Demo and don't always have the new in-colours but some of my old ones are so similar I use artistic licence and you can too. So for my card I used Mint Macaron, Melon Mambo and Perfect Plum.
I think this style of card is known as an envelope card. I used some Mint Macaron card stock for the base and cut the top part of the card into a 'V' to form the envelope. I then added a piece of Kaisercraft paper which is also a very Mint Macaron type of colour to the inside of the card. I used a retired set called Choose Happiness for the flower which was stamped off in Perfect Plum. I then stamped another flower and cut it out and layered it. I coloured it in with a blender pen and Melon Mambo and added a glitter embellishment for the inside.
The sentiment was stamped on to a retired banner with Melon Mambo and I added some plum hearts. The ribbon is metallic edge.
This is a lovely retired Stampin Up set I've just found and wanted to have a play with it. I've used a piece of Kaisercraft Paper from their Enchanted paper pad with is very pretty - bronzed with sponged edges.
I cut a similar piece with a stitched framelit and stamped the bird from the set and fussy cut it out. I added a small brad and some bronze thread behind the tag. I added some lovely leaf cut outs that I was gifted from an Envelope Craft Swap we did on my Facebook Group The Joy of Sets.
The designed is stamped across the bottom with Early Espresso from SU . The sentiment is from another retired set Lotus Blossom. I added a bronze embellishment and added it to some Crumb Cake card stock.
