How nice to be back crafting and creating cards to give away. I love to give handmade cards as gifts so that a handwritten note can be an easy task. I'm working on rebuilding my collection of finished sets.
The new Fragrant Layers stamp and die bundle are just gorgeous so these cards came together quite quickly, and I created a box to put them in for easy gift giving.

This week's colour combination is so soft and fresh.

I am also trying very hard to use up some of the kits and sets that I have collected over the years including this set of blank These Memories and More cards and envelopes.
It just happens that the Colours- Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party match the tones of this week's challenge colours.
I've had fun watercolouring the floral spray with both pink tones and layering it under the diecut window.
The die cuts the little window from the card, I have layered the flowers behind and then a piece of Lost Lagoon Shimmer card ( also retired ) brings the flowers to the fore. I have no shortage of sequins in matching tones to decorate them. Maybe you are the same.
There is no sentiment so that the cards are able to be used for any occasion.
The beautiful Fragrant Layers Bundle has both stampset - with such a cute font - and the amazing dies. I can't wait to play with it a bit more.
This folio box makes a cute set gift and holds 4 cards and envelopes. It suits the imperial size which is always the kit cards dimensions. It has a little bit of decoration on the inside as well.

We would love to see what you create using this colour palette - you can share your picture with us on the Facebook Group.
Check out the album to see what the rest of the design team has created using these colours. It's always wonderful to see what different products and styles everyone uses
As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI204, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! (or any other brand) substitute - Pool Party instead of Balmy Blue for example.
Challenge guidelines:
· Create a NEW project made specifically for this challenge.
· Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.
· Upload only ONE picture per entry straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album.
CI#204 will run for almost TWO weeks and will end at 5 pm (AEDT) on Monday March 9.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
