Week 46 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Soft Suede

 

Hi everyone and welcome to the last colour in the colour creations Blog-Hop, Soft Suede. Not one of my favourite colours but it is a nice brown all the same. I really did struggle with this card, but this is what I came up with.

 

I Started with a Soft Suede card base and added Early Espresso and then In Good Taste DSP. I had a play with the DSP on the inside of the card with a bit of a zig zag pattern. Using the Tasteful Touches Bundle for the stamping and dies for the sentiment tag on the front of the card. I stamped using Soft Suede ink. Finishing off the front with some Metallic pearls.

Not wanting to take anything away from the zig zag I kept the rest of the inside of the card fairly simple.

All the items in the project except for the Ink, Early Espresso and Soft Suede card stock will be retiring on the 2nd of May 2022. So sad to see such lovely DSP finishing up. If you would like to know more about these product please feel free to contact me via email, PM or phone.

Week 21 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Gray Granite

 

Hi Everyone and Welcome to week 21 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour is Gray Granite, this is not a colour that I choice to use very often, but I am happy that I gave this card a go and although it's all gray and white I'm happy with the outcome. 

Using only Gray Granite and Basic White card I created this card. All my stamping was done with Gray Granite ink. I used the Basic Borders Dies to create the edge along the front of the card and stamped using the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers from this set and then fussy cut them out. I mounted them onto the front of the card using Dimensionals and finished off with the beautiful Brushed Metallic Dots.

When the card is open to reveal the insert I have just stamped "You are the Best"from the same stamp set. along with more feathers. This will make a really love male card even though it has flowers on the front. The muted colour scheme really works well for me. All the items used in the project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the 2021 Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue. I really hope that they will carry over these beautiful Brushed Metallic Dot as I think they make a lovely addition to my project. If you would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM. If you live in Australia I would love to be your demonstrator, if you are overseas I can put you in touch with some who can help you.

Week 11 - Colour Creations Showcase - Coastal Cabana

Week 11 - Coastal Cabana,

 

Hello, and welcome to week 11 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. Coastal Cabana a colour from the Brights Collection and a very pretty turquoise blue colour.

For this weeks project I used the lovely Tasteful Touches Stamp set. I started with a Coastal Cabana card base and then added a Basic Black layer. 

I then stamped the leafy sprig using Coastal Cabana ink onto the bottom of a Whisper White layer of card and the words "You are so Special" between them in Memento. I then layered this onto my Black layer on the front of the card.

 I then proceeded to add another Basic Black layer to the front of the card followed with Whisper White, I once again stamped the leafy sprig this time in memento. I then stamped the flower using the Coastal Cabana ink 5 times and fussy cut out 3 and the other 2 I cut down to make a 3D layer for the flowers on the front of the card. I attached these over the black sprig using Dimensionals, I finished then front of the card off with a touch of Wink of Stella.

 

For my insert I once again layered using Basic Black and then Whisper White, I stamped my sentiment and another leafy Spring in Memento, before gluing the last of the flowers that I had cut out. 

 This is a very simple card using lots of layers to the effect and only one stamp set and to ink colours. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020 - 2021 annual catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these product please give me a call, email or PM me so that I can help you with your purchase.
