Creative Elements Meets Stampin' Up Watercolour Wonder DSP

I am sure they say "Blue and Green should never be seen" but I quite like this one!  The colours were inspired by the lovely Stampin' Up! Watercolour Wonder Designer Series Paper (Gumball Green, Island Indigo & Smoky Slate) and the design is the sketch from Mojo Monday Cahllenge 342. 

The stamp set used is Creative Elements - such a pretty set. I stamped the swirl in Smoky Slate and then used Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the butterfly. The zigzag paper has lots of other colours in it but the three I wanted are next to each other so I was able to trim it to fit my colour theme. I attached a piece of Stitched Satin Ribbon along a piece of card punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch. I added texture to a piece of Smoky Slate card with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and finished the design with Island Indigo Baker's Twine and an In Color Dahlia in Gumball Green.

So what do you think? Blue and green acceptable together or not?

Stampin' Up! Uk - A Bright Blooming with Kindness

Stampin' Up! Uk - A Bright Blooming with Kindness

So I am onto the "B" stamps - namely Blooming with Kindness! And inspired by the Watercolour Wonder Designer Series Paper in the Spring / Summer Catalogue I have used a colour I very rarely use - Tangerine Tango, along with Daffodil Delight.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the flower image (Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango) and stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede.  The stamped images were cut using the Big Shot and Framelits (Circles Collection & Ovals Collection)  Pieces of Watercolour Wonder were matted and layered to provide the background. 

The card was finished with a bow in Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon, some Linen Thread (am loving this at the moment) and some Pearl Basic Jewels on the sentiment and in the middle of the flower.

So what do you think? I am loving the bright summery colours - maybe I will have to use Tangerine Tango more often!
