Guest Designer at Scrapping 4 Fun

Hello, everyone.  I am excited to announce that I'm a Guest Designer at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges this fortnight. Thank you to Rachelle for inviting me!  We have a colour challenge for you this time (see colour swatch at bottom).  I wanted to make something a little different for my GD spot so I made a pop-up-box card.  I have been wanting to make one for ages and I thought this was the perfect time. I really had fun with it and loaded it up with lots of die cuts!


For the image, I used an adorable clear stamp:  Elsie with Daisies from Wild Rose Studio.  I won it in a challenge and I am so happy to be inking it up!  I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils and then fussy-cut. Here's a close-up of the stamped image and the die cuts:


I mentioned that I used a lot of dies for this card, and here's the list:  Butterflies (Memory Box), Flowers (Joy! Crafts, Die-namics, Cheery Lynn), Leaves (Cheery Lynn), Bird (Elizabeth Craft Designs), Circle (Nellie's Multiframes), Lacey Circles (Spellbinders), Walking Cat (Poppy Stamps). I also used my EK Success flower punches.  

The designer paper on the inside of the box and flaps is from Brenda Walton by K and Company. The birthday sentiment is from Jackie Rockwell (it was a freebie at one point, thank you!) and I coloured the word Happy with my Prisma pencils.  


Below is a photo of the card folded up and ready for mailing.  This birthday sentiment below is from Crafts 4 Eternity, and the designer paper is Basic Grey.  The flower and butterfly stickers are from Dollarama.


Here's the back of the card, all folded up.  Plenty of room to write a personal sentiment on the back.  


And finally, here is the colour swatch for our challenge at Scrapping 4 Fun.  You must use at least 3 colours shown in the image; shading lighter or darker is fine.  I think I managed to get every single colour on my card!  I hope you can hop over and play along with us at Scrapping 4 Fun! Again, a big thank you to Rachelle for inviting me to be a Guest Designer - I had fun!
