Week 29 Gray Granite - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 29 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop. Our featured colour this week is called Gray Granite, it's not a colour I use a lot. So once again I took the the Annual catalogue for inspiration, and cased another card from the Lily Pond Lane Suite.

I started with a Gray Granite card base and added a Basic Gray layer. Using the DSP that looks like a scene to finish off the layers. As the DSP was wider than the card I cut 1 1/2 inches (3.8cm) off of each end and glued these to each end of the card and then mounted the middle section onto dimensionals to cover the middle section of the card front. I cut out some duck from the DSP and mounted them on the front as a little family. I used the Deckled Circles for the senitment. I used a dauber to brush the edges so that it wasn't so stark white and finished off with some of the dappled dot.

It may not seem like just putting middle section of the DSP up on dimensionals is much but it really did add extra dimension to the card front. I kept the inside of my card very plain the just a Basic Gray layer and Basic white. I stamped using Gray Granite inside and on the front. This again was my take on one of the cards in the catalogue and I was happy to be able to use this set.

All the items used in this project can be found in the Stampin' Up! Annual 2024-25 Catalogue. the suite is on page 45. I loved this set, but have struggled to find the right cards to make using it. But I think this has given me inspiration to use it more. If you would like to know more about this suite or how I made this card please feel free to contact me.
