Colour Creations - Mango Melody

Hi Everyone, Here we are at week 27 of the colour creations hop. This week the colour is Mango Melody, what a lovely colour even though I don't like mango's. I have made this card for my friend Frances whose Birthday in on the 17th December, and as she loves flower and has such a green thumb I thought she would like this one.

I decided to start with a Basic Gray card base and added the Slate Gray as my first layer I then added 3 more layers to the front of the card in Copper Glimmer paper, Mango Melody and Vellum. I used the Beautiful Day Stamp set and stamped the flower using versa mark and Silver Embossing powder. Then coloured in the flower using the Mango Melody Blender pens. I placed the Vellum layer of the Mango Melody layer using glue dots and place the 3 layers on an angle to add to the feature. I placed the faceted gems over where the glue dot were so that you can't see them, and stamped the Happy Birthday on the gray layer using Basic Gray ink.

For my insert I used Whisper White and stamped the flower again along with my sentiment and then used my marker pens to colour in the flower. I added the strip of glimmer paper to finish it off.

Colour Creations - Crumb Cake

Hi Everyone, we are now at week 13, and this weeks colour is Crumb Cake. Wow this was going to be a challenge I thought, I had to make a card for my good friend Denis' Birthday and this is what I came up with. It just seemed to go together as if I had planned it that way.

I used the crumb cake card for my base and added wood Textures D.S.P. to the front of the card along with a small strip of glimmer paper. I cut out 2 square using the layering square framelits one in crumb cake and the other in gold foil sheet. and my 3 banners as in Black, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. I then stamped the tree from the Rooted in Nature Bundle in Early Espresso ink and cut it out.

I layered this all up using dimensionals and stamped my sentiment using the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set. I wrapped a small amount of the Mini Sequin Trim around the sentiment squares and added a gold faceted gem.

I added a very vanilla insert and stamped my insert message along with a few leave. I was so pleased with the way this card turned out and Denis loved it.
All the items used to make this card can be found in the 2018-2019 annual catalogue. If you would like to purchase all or any of these product please contact me so that I can help you.
Hugs Diane.
