Lulupu Challenge #9 - Splash of colors

Hello Everyone

Its Ujjwal here. We saw a lot of "Love in the Air" last month with the beautiful red and pink colors used in all your projects and voila we had over 50 entries!

And I Hope this month would be a lot more fun too! With Holi fast approaching next month we thought why not celebrate colors this month?
So the challenge for this month is -

Challenge #9

 "SPLASH OF COLORS "

        Use at least 5 different colors in your projects and use your punches creatively!

Points to remember:
- You can use more than 5 colors
- Colors should NOT be from the same family. Light blue and dark blue are from the from the family of color Blue
- All types of projects are welcome as long as we see 5 colors and innovative use of punches.


For my inspiration post today, I went a little overboard with colors (which I was a little skeptical about to start with) but I love how it turned out at the end, don't you?

I am using the gorgeous papers from My Mind's Eye - On the bright side 6X6 paper pad and American Crafts - XOXO 6X6 paper pad.

The flowers area paper pieced and have been made using Micia Stamp - You are Special. The sentiment is from the same set too. I also did a tutorial on how to make different flowers from the same stamp set sometime back. You can check that out HERE.

I love these Doodlebug crushed velvet brads as centers of my flowers :)

I had a very limited collection of punches to use, but you can find a big selection of great punches at lulupu.com. Punches can add lots of interesting patterns and designs by being used innovatively.  Don't use them just as border punches, think out of the box!

I also have a video tutorial on how to create this fun background using your punches and pattern papers. Watch and have fun and if you are inspired in anyway, don't forget to let me know :)

Here is the list of punches that I used:
EK Success Flower Burst Large Edger Punch
EK Success 5/8" circle
EK Success Open Scallop Edger Punch
Fiskers Scallop Sentiment Punch

Supplies from Lulupu
