Color Coach Week - Day 4

Hi there!! Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin' and my Color Coach Week.  All this week i have been showcasing card that i have made using colors from the Color Coach.

While creating these projects the Color Coach really helped me to stray away from my "go to" colors that i tend to use all the time.  I am guilty of tending to reach for the same colors all the time and not traveling out of the box that often.  Now, i haven't been able to put it down. Of course you don't have to use the three colors together that i are shown on the card you can make up your own "swatch", which is what i call it. One whole side showcases an example of the single color, like Melon Mambo for example, the large swatch of the color allows you to be able to place that next to other colors to see if you would like them together.  LOL, i hope that makes sense:)

The colors that i used today were Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz, and Early Espresso.  The base of my card is where i used the Early Espresso.  I did my card a little different today and i cut the top flap in half so that i only covered half of the bottom portion.  I didn't want my top flap to just be bare so i stamped out flowers from the Flower Shop stamp set in the Crumb Cake and then punched them out with the coordinating Pansy Punch.  This is one of my favorite bundles which you can see by clicking HERE.  To make them more 3D, we all know how much i LOVE dimension haha, i added another flower using the Petite Petals stamp set (again in the Crumb Cake ink) along with the coordinating Petite Petal Punch, another great bundle, which you can see HERE.  To finish off the top flap and to use the third color on my Color Coach card, i took my Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon and tied it around.

The stamp set that i used today for my sentiment is the Delightful Dozen set, which is also the set that i am showcasing today.

Well, that is it for today.  Thanks for stopping by and until next time...
Happy Inkin'
