Stampin' Up! Construction Zone Azure Afternoon Thinking of You Card

Hi and after a long hiatus I am trying to get back into the groove of blog hoping with the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, azure afternoon. 
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.

This week, I have chosen azure afternoon, daffodil delight and pumpkin pie to create my card.


Knowing that 13 packs of DSP are on sale for 15% off this month, I wanted to try and use some of the DSP's that are on special on my card. I ended up using papers from two different packs. The azure afternoon DSP is from Bright and Beautiful DSP and the orange dots DSP (originally was white) is from Zoo Crew DSP. I used a blending brush and pumpkin pie ink to colour the white DSP to create the pumpkin pie coloured DSP. 

I also used construction zone stamp set for my card and created a peek a boo side flap to show some more of the DSP. This card is great for someone who you think needs some cheering up but this stamp set would make some great construction cards. I used a "dots" image from quiet meadow to create a dirt pattern on crumb cake for under my crane. I tore my crumb cake cardstock to try and create a more realistic dirt. I fussy card around part of the stamped image so that I could fit the rest of the crane in the die cut. The stamped images are coloured in with stampin' blends and both the sentiment and crane are raised up with dimensionals.

Yay, welcome back! Even if I did guess the wrong colour combo, LOL! Your card is so cool, the crane overhanging the circle looks amazing, and I love the coloured DSP on the side of the card.

[Rachel Woollard]

Very striking card Ros, love the bold black outlines with AA, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight

[Amie]

Great card, Ros. I love the ‘dirt’ effect under the crane. What a coincidence that we used the same stamp set!

[Rachel Palmieri]

I have a feeling Construction Zone might be hopping into my basket soon. Your card is so gorgeously vibrant its sure to brighten the day of anyone who receives it.

[Andrea Sargent]

Welcome back Ros. It is so good you are hopping with us again. I love your construction card. Your colour combo is amazing and I love the blocks of colour and the way you blended over the B&W pattern. So cute and a great “pick me up” card. xxx

[Catherine Proctor]

Oh, how clever to have coloured the Zoo Crew DSP, Ros, it looks fabulous. I love this boy card and you've definitely convinced me to add this stamp set to my next order!

[Theresa Gerrard]

Great to have you back again Ros and especially with such a super cute card. The dots on the crumb cake make very effective soil.

[Sharon Davern]

Oh I love it! Welcome back. I so love your bright creations and this is fantastic and the coloured Zoo Crew DSP is the best and I love the sentiment to go with the little construction theme. Just Perfect! Love it!

[Kate Morgan]

What a great card, Ros. I love how you use these bright colours, especially blues and oranges, perfect construction zone colours. Love the little man on your envelope too!

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

It's so good to have you back, hopping with us, Ros. Your card is adorable. LOVE the way you created the mound of dirt, and custom-coloured DSP.

[Caroline Manwaring]

Nice to see you back again Ros. This is such a great card, that's bright and fun. Love your colour choices too!
