AAA Colourful Challenge #7

Welcome class!
It's time for another AAA Colourful challenge!  Such a great beach-y inspiration picture, and as usual, I took things pretty literally when I translated it to my card and was inspired by the layout too!  I reached for a new-to-me Alex Syberia Designs Expressing Gratitude set and some Pinkfresh inks and got to work!


So here's the lesson plan:
1.  Pick your colors.  It's a color challenge, so I was inspired by the vivid blue, turquoise and yellow of the inspiration photo.
2.  Stamp the things!  This is a great stamp as there's a ton of great sentiments that express thanks...and I make a lot of thank you cards.  Die cut the things!  This stamp is all one piece, so there's a special die to cut them all out perfectly. Emboss the things!  
3.  Assemble.  I ink blended on my cardstock, so I glued down the sentiments, and then blended over them one color at a time.  I only used 3 colors of cardstock, but it looks like more!  Stack those Sentiments for dimension, and add a few enamel dots.


EXTRA CREDIT!
If you're embossing using white embossing powder, get a more vivid white image by stamping with white pigment ink!
