Color Combo Challenge Masculine

It's been a while since I have posted but I was really inspired by the color combo challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary that I had to go right to my craft room.

I love this color combo!

FM185 Color Combo with Sparkle

We have another fantastic set of challenges over at The Friday Mashup this week. Sadly I could only participate in one of the challenges because I don't have Iridescent Ice embossing powders. I tried it with the hologram embossing powder but it didn't look good at all!!! 

This week's Mashup Challenge is:

1. Create a project using the "Diamond Dust Technique" Tutorial Here. 

2. Create a project using the colors "Island Indigo, Garden Green & Rich Razzleberry (or similar colors if you don't have these exact colors). 

3. or Mash it Up! and create a project "using the colors above and the Diamond Dust Technique".

I had a whole bunch of squares left over from another project I created and I am not good at throwing scraps out. A while ago I cut circles out of the centre but still was unwilling to throw out the squares. I noticed them sitting on my desk and they were all fanned out as shown on my card. It was the starting off point for the inspiration for my card. It took a while to glue all the layers together perfectly but I love the dimension on the card. Too bad it doesn't show as well in the photos.

FM 168 Summer Card

Lisa's challenge this week at Friday mashup came easily to me, once I got my new order of the new in-colors. I hummed and hawed for quite a while before deciding to get the new in colors. After all there are only a few I really like. But the bundle with the paper and ink is such a good deal it didn't make sense to order everything individually. 

Thank you Lisa for the great challenge. I think the colors work very well together!!!

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using the colors" Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon & Mossy Meadow".

2. Create a project with a "Summer" theme . (Beach, Picnic, Swimming, etc.) 

3. or Mash it Up! and create a "Summer project using the colors above".

For the background I used my brayer and inked up the Cloud embossing folder. You have to get it really inked up or you can end up with spots uninked. Then you place your very vanilla card stock in the embossing folder and run it through you big shot, leaving the clouds to stand out uninked.

To get the sun I punched my Hello Honey with my scalloped circle. Then I used a post it note to help me stick the punched circle back into the punch and punched one more time, giving you smaller rays for your sun.

Stampset: You're Amazing, Happiest Birthday Wishes

Paper: Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey

Ink: Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey
