{More In Colour 2016-2018 creations}

When I was sent "the" box of goodies from Stampin' Up to make the samples for Onstage, I have to confess I felt both overwhelmed and underwhelmed... if that makes sense.  It was nerve wracking playing with the new colours, initially I explored how they looked with our current colours, however after being told that I needed to focus on the new ones I approached my task with renewed vigour.

I returned to my love of 3D florals, fauna and butterflies, and tried to show off each colour in a different way, using various textures through stamping and shaping the card.

Here are more detailed photos and a video explaining how I created each card.
