Summer Mini Card Camp Begins with Kelly's Tutorial

Hello friends!  Kelly has organized a Mini Card Camp (you can check out her explanation and first tutorial here: Sandcastlestamper)

Her tutorial is "Bold Color - No Color".  How fun!  The idea is to create a background of bold colors and use all white images on top.

Here's my take:



I used Gina K's Pure Luxury white card base because it has a very smooth finish for sponging.

I sponged on the background using Stampin Up Colors:
  Mango Melody
  Pacific Point and
  Emerald Envy.

I punched a small circle, and applied the Mango Melody first.  Then the Pacific Point and lastly the Emerald Envy.  I used circular motions with the sponge to get a whispy sort of look.

Then I removed the circle mask and applied the reverse of the punch.  That protected the previously sponged areas around the white circle.  
Then I added a lot more of the Mango Melody to get the darker sun image.

The Butterflies and their outline is a Memory Box Die "Fluttering Branch".  The branch is glued using a needle nosed glue applicator and the butterflies are glued only on their center, allowing the wings to be lifted giving it some dimension.  Here's a side view:

The Dragonfly is a very old punch from my stash.  All are on a shimmery white card stock from A Muse.

Kelly, this was such fun!  Thank you for organizing the Mini Camp and for a great tutorial.
