Rockin' with Our Craft Lounge and Lily Pad Cards

Our Craft Lounge is partnering with Lily Pad Cards for a fun color challenge. The trio of challenge colors are navy blue, light blue, and silver.

I made a wintery themed card with pretty much the same color scheme for last week’s OCL challenge, so I decided to go a different route for these colors, even though they make a beautiful winter color palette. I went for a masculine look using the new Every Heart Beat stamp set with its bold chevron images.

I stamped the chevrons in two different blue inks—a light blue for the thinner images and a navy blue for the thick, single chevron image—on a light blue panel. To go with the slightly distressed look of the image, I sponged some light blue ink along the panel’s edges before attaching it to a navy card base.

For the focal image I made a layered piece. The base is a star punched out of silver cardstock. I stacked a pair of blue buttons and used blue baker’s twine to thread them together before tying a bow at the top. After centering the button pair on the star, I used foam tape to attach it to the cardfront. The set’s “you rock” sentiment is stamped in silver ink on a navy notch-edged strip set on the cardfront so it extends just slightly beyond the right edge.

To play along in the challenge, create your own project using this color scheme. There are two prizes up for grabs here, so be sure to add the link to your project to both the Lily Pad Cards blog and the OCL blog for your chance to win.
