Our eleventh colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "coastal cabana" from the brights collection. I have chosen coastal cabana, melon mambo and gorgeous grape from the colour coach to work with today for my creation.
Here is my coastal cabana card from 2018.
For my card today, I have been heavily inspired and basically CASED this amazing card from Melissa Stout. I've used the same bundle, peace and joy and practically the same colours, only I have changed the orientation of the card to a horizontal card and also made my card into a shaker card.
I used the joy dies to die cut the word "bright" and stamped the words the two words "merry & and" from the peace & joy stamp set. I made a simple frame using the paper trimmer and finished it off with the window sheets and foam adhesive strips to create a shaker panel. This created the focal point for my card sitting on a sheet of coastal cabana designer series paper from the brights 6" x 6" designer series paper pack.
