Casually Crafting - Colour Challenge for August / Stamping With Melva

Casually Crafting - Colour Challenge for August

Saturday, 20 August 2022

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

This month we were challenged with a colour challenge. Pretty colours - Sweet Sorbet, Coastal Cabana, and Sahara Sand. My card focuses more on Coastal Cabana and Sahara Sand!

I thought the Storybook Gnomes was perfect as it has those colours in it! Check out this fun card I made.
