Color Challenge Floral Wreath Balloon Card | Melinda Beltran

Happy Saturday crafty friends,
My name is Melinda and I am so super excited to  be on the Shimmerz Creative Card Design Team!  I can't wait to share some projects with you. Here is a look at my first one.

Our challenge this month is to use one of their products as the focus. The product I chose was Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz Paint.  For my project, I started by creating the cut files that I used. I then cut all of the pieces out in white cardstock.  I used some of the Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz  paint to paint my flower petals. For the larger flower, I did also use some Bubble Gum – Shimmerz paint.

For the wreath, I layered 3 of the die cuts together to give them a sturdy, chipboard type feel. I then used some of the Puttin On The Glitz – Pasteez to add some glimmer and texture to my die cut. It is hard to capture that sparkly shine, but it is on there and looks so pretty. In this view you can also see that I used the Bed of Roses Stamp Set to stamp both my gray and pink cardstock to create a background.

Next, I turned to my flowers, I used some of the Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz to paint my flowers the beautiful Hot Pink. For the larger flower I did add some Bubble Gum – Shimmerz for a gradient look. I staggered, layered and curled the flower petals to give them some dimension.I added a pear to their centers and a soft bow from some seam binding ribbon.

For the balloon, I used the Lovely Balloons Stamp Set. I stamped it with some light gray ink and then used a fine point paint brush to brush some Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz, Bubble Gum – Shimmerz and some Puttin' On The Glitz – Pasteez. I fussy cut it and then used some foam tape to give it a little lift.

I added a sentiment from the Lovely Balloons Stamp Set by stamping the banner and one of the words with my gray ink. I fussy cut it out and added it to my card. I finished off my card by adding some pearls to my frame.
