Hi Crafty Friends! I hope you’re having a magical day that has put you in the mood for an enchanted card. For today’s Colour Me! challenge post, I’m playing along with Team Hayley so my challenge was to create a project using mint, pink, and greige.
The challenge colours this week reminded me of an enchanted princess so I just ran with that idea. As usual, I let my camera roll while I was creating so I have a how-to tutorial to share with you. You can watch the video below, or on my YouTube channel.
Like I mentioned, the colours this week really reminded me of an enchanted princess fairytale. No princess fairytale is complete without some sparkle and shine, so I used silver glitter paper, as well as Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins to pull the whole card together.
To be honest, once I finished the card, I thought I maybe went a little overboard with the princess theme, but I let it sit for a couple days and decided that while princesses maybe aren’t my thing, someone out in the craft-verse would enjoy it…right?!
