Hello and Welcome to week 29 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is called Merry Merlot. A lovely dark red wine colour. I was having trouble coming up with a design for my card so I decided I would do my go-to layout.
So starting with a Merry Merlot card base I added a Basic White layer that I stamped using the Painted Poppies stamp set. I stamped these along the bottom and the top of the white layer. I then added another Merry Merlot layer and then my DSP from the Lights Aglow. I know that the DSP is Cherry Cobbler but I thought it went really well. I then cut out my Poppies using the coordinating dies Using both Merry Merlot and Cherry Cobbler. Then added my sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I embossed this in gold, though the photo really doesn't do it justice. The oval and the ribbon ends are from the He's all That bundle. Lastly I added some Champagne Rhinestone.
I love this layout as it's very effective and really easy when you need that quick card but you want it to look special. My insert I stamped using Merry Merlot ink and added my message and another row of the poppies along the bottom.

Di, I would never have thought to combine Merry Merlot and Cherry Cobbler but they look fabulous together. I love your go to layout – it always looks great and different every time.
ReplyDeleteThat's rather inspired of you, to create poppies with this colour, Di - lovely choice! The sentiment looks great, gold-embossed on Merry Merlot, and the touches of white help tone down the boldness of our feature colour this week.
ReplyDeleteMerry Merlot is a great choice for the poppies. The rich colours look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Di. I love your combination of Cherry Cobbler with Merry Merlot. Great layout too. Xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of products, Di. The poppies look lovely atop the Lights Aglow paper and those gold foil banners look amazing behind your sentiment.
ReplyDeleteMerry Merlot and Cherry Cobbler are great choices for the poppies Di and surprisingly they go very well together. The small piece of DSP is a great choice as well.
