Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop and July 2025 Color Challenge!
If you’ve already started the blog hop you should be coming from the talented Stacey Marsh’s blog post. If you’ve just joined in, make sure to do the full hop and see all the wonderful projects created by the Color Fusers Design team! The color scheme for the July 2025 Color Challenge reminds me of the Fourth of July. While I explored that theme a bit, in the end, my project turned out quite different from where I started.
My July 2025 Color Challenge project features the Extraordinary Flora Stamp Set, Elements of Text Stamp Set and the More Messages Stamp Set.

For my focal element I’ve done some simple heat embossing with a watercolored background.

The images are colored in using a Clear Wink of Stella brush.

The sentiment is heat embossed and die-cut using the Textured Notes Dies. I just love these dies. Each of the dies has a unique pattern on the edge which makes them especially fun!

For the inside of the card I used some tiny scraps cut from the focal piece. I love how this allowed me to bring the design on the front to the inside. Here’s a peek at the inside:
