Samantha’s Sparkly Unicorn Beach Scene

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a fun summertime card that is inspired by the current Color Inspiration Challenge. I love color challenges so much, because it is really fun to work with color palettes that you would not typically use. I love the combination of purple and blue with the pop of yellow and orange. 

One of my favorite things about summer is the beautiful and vibrant sky at sunset. For my card, I thought it would be fun to create a summer getaway beach scene. The unicorns are enjoying their time on the glittery beach with a sunset in the background that fades into the ocean.

I used the Tropical Backdrop to create the beach and palm trees. My favorite part about this set is that you can layer the palm trees! The leaves have Small 3D Foam Squares behind them to create dimension!

You still have time to enter the Color Inspiration Challenge! The challenge run though this Sunday, August 16th at 11:59 ET. We look forward to seeing your creations!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Franci’s Colorful, Clean and Simple Inspiration!

Franci shares a beautiful CAS Halloween card today for our Color Inspiration challenge!

Franci’s pretty design features our sweet cat from the Spooktacular Halloween set! She stamped the images with Jet Black Ink and then colored them in the challenge color palette. She popped them up with foam adhesive on the lightly inked background. Simply beautiful!

Thank you so much for this sweet inspiration today, Franci!

Let’s see how our talented Design Team members were inspired by this challenge!

Karin‘s beautiful ocean scene takes inspiration from both the color palette and the pretty image! In addition to the gorgeous stenciled clouds she combined Tropical Backdrop and Smooth Sailing!

Joyce‘s Goodie Bag is decorated with a fun scene in the inspiration colors featuring Happy Trails and Stitched Mountain Borders! Who wouldn’t love a gift packaged up like this?

Samantha‘s magical sky is inked with Distress inks then stenciled using the new Starry Sky Stencil and glittery embossing paste! I love how she used blues and purples to create a cool rainbow! The clouds are from Plane and Simple and the sentiment is from Fairy Friends!

Christy used the inspiration colors to create a beautiful fairy tale design! Her card features Build-A-Castle, Little Dragon and Tiny Fairy Tale!

I love to be at Disneyland as the sun is setting, it just seems so much more magical! Caly‘s beautiful Coaster Critters scene captures that feeling with this cool sunset sky!

Jessica was inspired by the image to create this gorgeous cloud-filled sky! For the clouds she inked the background in the challenge colors using the Cloudy Stencil! She filled in with Puffy Cloud Borders cut from vellum. For the water she inked a Stitched Wave Border then added the sun from Spring Showers and stamped a few seagulls from Life is Good!

Samantha‘s Ocean Shell-fie critters are colored using all the inspiration colors! She framed this fun scene with a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame layered with Shimmer cardstock! The seaweed and coral are die cuts that can be found in Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On!

I love that Franci used an older set for this beautiful clean and simple design! The Halloween images in Spooktacular bring out the orange and blue in the color palette while the inked background adds in the purple hue!

Jenn‘s happy Stitched Rainbow design gets lots of bold color from the alcohol inked background! Check out the colors she combined in the next photo!



We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 81 tomorrow!
