Colour Creations Showcase - Basic Gray

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 2 of the Colour Creations Showcase, this week our colour is Basic Gray. Not an easy colour for me to work with but I was pleased with the outcome all the same.

I decided, I would start with a Basic Gray card base and then added a layer of So Saffron followed by another layer in Basic Gray. I stamped the Dandelion using Versa Mark and then added the White Embossing powder and heat set them I then used the So Saffron Blender pens to all so colour to the the dandelions. I think this lifted them I then added my ribbon and bow and mounted the layers onto dimensionals before attaching to the front of the card.

I then stamped my sentiment using the versa mark and embossing powder, before cutting them out using the die's from the so sentimental bundle I then cut out another and cut it in half and place this behind so that it gives a border.

I then layered my insert onto some So Saffron and stamped some more dandelions.

Colour Creations - Fresh Fig

Hi All, This week the colour is Fresh Fig this is one of the 2017 - 2019 In Colours and sadly it will end next at the end of May. I for one will be sad to see it go as I really love this colour. My card this week was inspired by a lady in Germany I couldn't understand what she was saying but I got the general idea and ran with it.

I started with a Fresh Fig card and using my Layered Leaves Embossing folder I emboss the leaves I then took my Versa Mark pad and patted it all over the sheet added my Silver embossing powder and then brushed off the parts I didn't want embossed to give a patchy look I then heated the powder to set it. I mounted this onto my card front. I then added a silver foil sheet layer and then stamped and embossed in silver the Dandelion Wishes stamp (Page 118) and the Sentiment from the Petal Palette stamp (Page 119) .

I then added this to the front of the card so that it looks like a card on a card. I added another sentiment to the inside of this card and I also used magnet to hold this flap down nicely.

I added my insert using whisper white card and stamped again from the dandelion stamp set. I love this effect and I think if I made this card again I would slightly enlarge the card on the front to make this into a gift card holder.  Great for all occasions.
