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.

Colour Creations - Flirty Flamingo

 

Hi Everyone, this week is Flirty Flamingo week. Yep it's kind of a rich pinky colour, really pretty.

I thought I would combined a few sets here because for me this colour reminds me of pigs.

So I have used the "This Little Pig" stamp set and I used my blender pen to colour in the image from my ink pad (not Blender pens). I started with a Whisper White card base and added a Flirty Flamingo layer along with Tropical Escape D.S.P. I then stamped tone on tone using the "Very Vintage" stamp set. (Hostess set). I die cut out my pig image using the layering circles and run this through my Big Shot along with a piece of Shaded Spruce card to put behind it.

I used the Classic Label punch to punch out the sentiment and then layered this onto another piece of Shaded Spruce and trimmed this to put a small boarder around it. I them punched out 2 sprig from the Sprig Punch and I mounted both the image and sentiment to the from of the card using Dimensionals.

I added a small pearl from the artisan pearls and then used my Wink of Stella on the pig to give him a big of a shimmer.

 

I layered up my inserts using Flirty Flamingo and Whisper White, before stamping my sentiment and a few clouds . The stamp sets used in the project are "This Little Pig" "Very Vintage" and "Petal Palette"  All the items used for this project can be found in the 2018 - 2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2018 Holiday Catalogue. if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call so that I might help you with your order.
