Colour Combo September Blog Hop

Welcome to the September Colour Combo Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use Garden Green, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive to create our project. You may have just visited Cheryl's blog or perhaps you are starting here with me. I hope that you will enjoy our creations this month.

One of my favorite stamp sets from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog is the Healing Hugs stamp set. I just love the detail in the new Disinktive style stamps and I thought that this color combination would work well with the images in this set.

I chose Garden Green cardstock for my card base and layered a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I embossed using the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder onto the card base. I stamped the rose image with Gorgeous Grape Classic ink and the leaves with Old Olive Classic ink and then fussy cut the images. The images were attached to a large oval die cut from Whisper White cardstock using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, with Stampin' Dimensionals. I layered the oval over the top of a piece of Gorgeous Grape 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon that I attached around the center of the layer of Whisper White cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set with Gorgeous Grape Classic ink onto Whisper White cardstock and then punched it out using the Classic Label Punch and then layered it onto a piece of Garden Green cardstock also punched using the Classic Label punch and attached the sentiment to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card, I added small Basic Pearls colored with the Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends Marker to the embossed card front and added Clear Wink of Stella to the stamped rose and leaves images.

I hope that you have enjoyed the project that I have created with this month's colour combination and I hope that it inspires you to give it a try.

2018 Kre8tors Blog Hop April Color Challenge

Welcome to the 2018 Kre8tors Blog Hop for April and this month's theme is a color challenge featuring Crumb Cake, Powder Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst and Wild Wasabi. We have been challenged to use at least 3 of these colors in our project.

After seeing the inspiration photo for this color combination, I really wanted to try and create a card design that included all 5 colors. I really liked the way the wood grain background looked, so I decided to incorporate it into my card design.

I love the Waterfront stamp set from the 2018 Occasions Catalog and I really liked the idea of using this stamp set to create my card. I die cut an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies from Whisper White cardstock. I used the various stamps to create the mountains using the Crumb Cake Classic ink and the fields with Wild Wasabi Classic ink in the foreground. Using sponge daubers, I lightly sponged the sky above and around the mountains using Powder Pink Classic ink and then gently sponged the outer edge with Berry Burst Classic ink to create a twilight sky. I created the sun by punching out a small circle from a scrap of paper and using it as a reverse mask, I lightly sponged Pumpkin Pie ink just above the mountains on the right side of the oval. I also lightly sponged the sky to create pale orange highlights in the sky.

To create the finished card, I used Powder Pink cardstock to create the card base and I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #143708) and gently sponged with Crumb Cake Classic ink to bring out the texture in the embossed cardstock. I attached the stamped oval using Stampin' Dimensionals and I created the sentiment using the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder onto Whisper White cardstock. I punched out the sentiment with the Classic Label Punch (item #141491) and matted it with Powder Pink cardstock also punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

I love the softness of this card design and had a lot of fun playing with the variety of colors to come up with this scenic card.

I hope that this card design has inspired you to try playing around with this color combination and experiment with them.
