I started my card with a Basic White base and added a Crushed Curry layer followed by another Basic White layer. On my white layer I place a circle and then using my blending brushes and Crushed Curry ink Pad I coloured the front of my card adding a small amount of Pumpkin Pie ink so that it resembled a setting sun sky. I then removed the circle to leave the white circle as the moon. I then used Evening Evergreen ink to stamp my Bamboo from the Bamboo Beauty Stamp set on page 49 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.
With my insert I matched this with outside of the card using the same techniques. I thought that leaving the inside white it would look wrong. it's such a simple design that really does give a real punch (in my opinion).

Oooh, this is fabulous! The sponging looks great, and the bamboo is perfect to go over the top of it.
ReplyDeletePumpkin Pie was a great ink colour choice, to pair with Crushed Curry, Di - I wouldn't have thought to use them together. The bamboo stamped over the "moon" looks lovely ... and I agree, carrying over the design inside the card adds a real punch. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant card Di - yes, I agree it really gives a real punch. I love this design!
ReplyDeleteDi, I love it! I will have to case your card. I have this Bamboo Beauty set but haven't had a play yet and you have done a wonderful job showcasing it and crushed curry
ReplyDeleteThe matching inside of the card is fabulous. If I didn't know, I could have mistaken it for the outside of the card!
ReplyDeleteAn elegant card Di and love the softness of Crushed Curry on your card which provides the perfect background to the bamboo.
ReplyDeleteOoh I like how you repeated the design on the inside - that looks great! I like how you blended the Crushed Curry to get a lighter tone too.
ReplyDeleteThe use of Pumpkin Pie is not one that I would've thought would work but you've showed it goes beautifully. Love the silhouette effect on the moon.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card Di!
ReplyDeleteI really like the soft colouring of Crushed Curry on your card Diane, and the bamboo looks great stamped in Evening Evergreen.
ReplyDeleteDiane your soft Crushed Curry background is beautiful with the lovely stamped bamboo image. The silhouette effect is also lovely.
