Week 41 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Sahara Sand

 

Hello Everyone, and welcome to week 41 of the colour creations block hop. We are almost at the end now, and it's been a great ride. This week our colour is Sahara Sand and as the name implies it's a light sandy colour. Sahara Sand is one of the Neutrals Colour range and you can find Card Stock, Ink Pad & Refills in this colour along with the DSP colour range. I did find it a little hard to design a card using this colour as it's not one of the colours that I reach for.

 
But here it is. I started with a card base using Sahara Sand and then added a layer in Early Espresso. The DSP that I used comes from the Tidings of Christmas range found in the Annual Catalogue. Even thought it's classed as a Christmas paper it doesn't have a Christmas theme to this DSP.  I then used the layering dies from the Hippo Happiness bundle to the next 2 layers one in Early Espresso and the other using the DSP again. I then cut out the butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. First the solid butterfly and then the filigree one. again in Early Espresso and Sahara Sand. I then curved the wings on both and added dimensional between the layers and then back of the butterflies.
 
 
Before attaching them to the front of the card. I stamped my Happy Birthday directly onto the DSP, using the Stamparatus so the I could stamp it several times. I finished off the front of the card with the Iridescent Rhinestones.
 
As always my insert is very plain. I layers Early Espresso and Basic white together and just stamped a short and sweet message on the inside along with one of the butterflies from the same bundle. A pretty and elegant card, but unsure who will be getting this one yet. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like any or all of these product please feel free to give me a Call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

    Here I was, wondering where that gorgeous DSP is from ... I had forgotten about it! What a beautiful backdrop it provides to the lovely butterfly on your card, Di. Nicely done, showcasing this neutral.

    What a gorgeous feature butterfly on those fancy labels. I hadn't even noticed this pattern in the Christmas DSP, good choice!

    This is a beautiful card Di. By using just two main colours, the detail on the butterfly and embellishments really stands out.
