Color Fusers--March

/

Hi friends! How is everyone doing? Are you excited for March, Spring Break and Easter? I know I am! It means we are inching closer and closer to spring and summer! Yay!

This month the Color Fusers design team is creating projects with Sweet Sorbet, Pool Party and Lost Lagoon! I am really excited for this color combination and I am gearing myself up to say good bye to Sweet Sorbet as it is one of the In Color’s that will be retiring at the end of April.

For my card I was inspired to create a peek a boo window using the heart from the Hooray for Surprises Dies and some scraps of Pool Party and Lost Lagoon that I had laying around. The Lost Lagoon pieces were actually already embossed too so I thought they made a fun addition to the card.

 

I added my strips to a piece of Basic White that I covered with an Adhesive Sheet. I was feeling lazy and the Adhesive Sheets just make it so EASY! and then I just snipped off the excess. Easy Peasy!

This piece was then added flat the the card base with the top layer added with Dimensionals.

I stamped some of the mini hearts from the Hooray for Surprises stamp set in Sweet Sorbet from the top right corner down to the bottom left corner

I thought it a fun opportunity to add some of the In Color Twine in Sweet Sorbet was to tie it around the right side of die cut section.

I mixed and matched 3 of the sentiments from the stamp set on the outside. Stamping them in the colors of the month and hand trimming them out to make a custom phrase “Hooray you are simply the BEST”. I love to add sentiments together to make a whole new saying.

Lastly I added some white embellishments to help make the background pop with the contrast against the Sweet Sorbet.

Now to the inside! Because I had die cut a heart to create a peek a boo panel, I needed to use it!

So I used the polka dot heart die from the Hooray for Surprises set and added it over top of the original heart for this really fun look. I stamped some more hearts similar to the design on the front but this time going left to right.

I decided to keep the sentiments going by adding ‘Sending you lots of love’ in Lost Lagoon with an extra ‘Love’ stamped in Sweet Sorbet.

It is a really nice surprise to have the inside of your card decorated along with the outside, don’t you think?

I hope you are inspired to use this fun and bright color combo in some of your own projects. However, you will have lots more to see by following along our blog hop! Next up on the hop is Melissa! I can’t wait to see what she has designed for us to see!
