Happy Monday! And for once, it really is a happy Monday for me as it's Half Term! Cue a lazy morning hanging around in my PJs with a cuppa catching up with the world at my own pace - I love it!
Today I'm sharing a card I've made for a new challenge I've set as part of a group of ladies called the Papertrey Peeps. We're a group of PTI fans who fancied setting a few challenges and sharing the creations and inspiration!
For my challenge I decided to challenge people to use packaging as inspiration for their colour combos. Sounds kinda strange but I was totally inspired by my muesli the other day which spurred me to check out the Dorset Cereals' website and get totally inspired!
For my example I picked this scrummy porridge:

So I stuck to a colour combo of Dark Chocolate, New Leaf, Spring Moss, Pure Poppy and White for my card:

The DP was created by using the tree from my Holiday Tree set. Now who says you can only use that set for Christmas creations?! I like how it reflects the design on the packaging too!
Card Recipe
Stamps: Holiday Tree/Daily Designs/Daily Designs Sentiments
Ink: Dark Chocolate/Spring Moss/New Leaf
Card: Dark Chocolate/Pure Poppy/Spring Moss/Stamper's Select White/New Leaf
Accessories: New Leaf Twill Ribbon/Martha Stewart Border Punch/Circle Nestabilities/Cuttlebug
Feel free to play along if you fancy it and link your creation. I know that I'll be checking out a few other packages from that site for future colour combos for sure!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Catch ya later!

P.S I'm not affiliated to Dorset Cereals in any way what-so-ever, I just think their packaging is inspirational and their muesli is scrummy ;D!
Happy Monday Aimes :) Love the colours on your cereal packet and the card looks great!
