House of Cards July 2015 Challenge - Food and/or Colors Challenge

Hello everyone, and welcome back to a new monthly challenge here at House of Cards.  I so enjoy seeing all the creations each month, not only from the design team, but also from you, the challenge participants.  

This month's challenge is ...

JULY 2015

Use a food image and/or Colors

I chose to use the color palette instead of foods for my card today.  

I love center step style cards because they stand up on their own for display, plus you get extra spaces for embellishing.  

I used a peach color card stock for my base, and a yellow card stock for the second layer.  The print paper I chose seemed to contain all of the colors shown in the palette, making it easy peasy to work with.  

The tag is a cut out from the paper pad, and the rest of the embellishments are from a set of pearlescent on clear acetate stickers.  I left the sticker liner on the two butterflies in the center, and adhered them to a couple strips of acetate before glueing them to the center portion, giving the impression they are in flight.

I stamped "Happiness Always" onto another yellow print scrap from the pad with Black Stazon.  Each of the print paper pieces were edged with the Chestnut Roan chalk ink before layering.  

And here is a closeup of each individual section.

  

Supplies used:

Kaisercraft 6.5"x6.5" Be-YOU-tiful paper pad

Cardstock: Peach, Yellow

Pearlescent butterfly/border stickers (Recollections)

Pearls and Gems (Hero Arts)

Chestnut Roan chalk ink

StazOn black ink

Happiness Always rubber stamp (Stampin' Up)
