Week 25 - Colour Creations Showcase - Melon Mambo

 

Today we are looking at the gorgeous bright pink Melon Mambo! I thought that I should ink up one of the stamp sets that I had for a little while and wanted to but had yet and it was calling my name. I think I needed a lot of coffee today!

Yes you guess it! It is the Nothing Better Than Bundle! I know how could it have taken me so long to get ink on this stamp set. I agree with you it is rather cute!

This is my colour combination for my card today plus some of the gorgeous Brushed metallic card stock which is just the best!

I have the most gorgeous friend and I don't think I would have gotten through this year without her. She has a wonderful daughter that is a social worker and is the Health and Well being Officer at a school for kids that come from some very difficult circumstances. When I was making this card I was thinking of her. Coffee and Chocolate are her go to treats.

I thought  mess of the gold chord and the whisper white crinkled seam binding was a perfect metaphor for this year and for my friend's daughter. With how messy this year has been and how messy life can be for some of her students she makes everything better just like coffee and chocolate!

I cut out the label with the from the Tasteful label dies then after positioned the sentiments before stamping. I cut out the Coffee and Chocolate dies before adding the word "AND" There is not a single "and" in the stamp set but I used a piece of sticky tape of the rest of the words before inking and then took off the tape before stamping on the card. Once I had stamped the "AND" I used the Tombow glue to adhere the label. The cute little coffee cups are coloured in Melon Mambo and Cinnamon Cider stampin blends and the chocolates are stamped in Melon Mambo ink!

On the inside of the card I have cut out other cute coffee cup and adhered it and also stamped some steam rising from the cup.

All of these fun element are on a base of Night of Navy, Brushed Metallic, Melon Mambo card stock and a piece of plaid tidings.
