Colour Creations: Mango Melody

 Hi!

Thanks for joining me again for the new Colour Creations Creative Showcase. It's Mango Melody's turn to shine! It's a lovely orange that sits in the Brights Colour Family. I must say, it's overtaken Pumpkin Pie as my favourite orange.

I started with the Mango card base, sponging Mango ink through a mask to create the bubbles to fit in with my cocktail theme - I was hoping it would look like the bubbles in a fizzy drink. I realised later that it's a retired SU mask, but there's a similar one that is current that would work just as well. I sponged in an ombre pattern, so that it faded away towards the top.

I die cut three of the 'cocktails' words from the Love You More Than Dies and stacked them to get some dimension on the Stitched Nested Label Die cut. I curved the word as I adhered it to the label, just for something different! The cocktail image and stamped text is from the coordinating stamp set, Nothing's Better Than.

I added more bubbles on the inside to tie it in with the front, also fading them out as they go up the page, but much more quickly than on the front. The sentiment here is from Itty Bitty Birthdays, and I think it works perfectly with the cocktails theme!

That's all from me tonight, please pop on over to Catherine's blog for the rest of this week's Mango Melody cards.

Bye for now,

Tina
