Tricia's Stamping Creations: Colour Combo November Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo November Blog Hop with this month's color challenge using Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Blackberry Bliss. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to try this color combination to create your own beautiful projects.

My card design today is a slightly stepped up version of Simple Stamping. I used this month's colors to create the design on the card front using images from the Artistically Inked stamp set and Eden's Garden stamp set, with just a touch of Gold embossing to add a touch of bling. I decided not to add a sentiment to the front, instead letting the design be the star. This card design is a great example of how you can create a beautiful card without a lot of supplies and just some simple stamping.

For this card design, I chose Coastal Cabana cardstock for my card base and added a layer of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to help frame the focal design. I stamped the large background image from the Artistically Inked stamp set randomly over the Basic White cardstock layer using Coastal Cabana ink. This created a layer of variated color for the background for me to build my design. I stamped the roses image, 3 times, with Real Red Classic ink and then added the larger leaves with Blackberry Bliss Classic ink. Both of these images are also from the Artistically Inked stamp set, and they provide a bold design to the card front. Using Clear Wink of Stella, I colored the roses to blend the Real Red and add a touch of shimmer. Next I stamped the smaller leaf images from the Eden's Garden stamp set using Coastal Cabana and Blackberry Bliss Classic ink. I blended the color on the leaves with a Blender Pen to soften them and help them stand out against the stamped background. For the final touch, I stamped the dots image with Versamark ink randomly over the background and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder and also in the center of the roses, several times. I love the soft watercolor feel of this card design and how pretty these colors look together.
