AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 45: SEASIDE SPRAY

 

This week's Colour Creations Showcase is all about Seaside Spray, a beautiful soft blue that is one of the In Colors retiring from Stampin' Up!'s range in early May.  I will miss this gorgeous colour!  Cathy Proctor co-ordinates our showcases each week.  She has a list on her blog of all participants in this week's share.  We hope you'll hop around all of our blogs, to see how we've incorporated Seaside Spray into our creations.

The focal point of my card this week is one of the Dandy Laser Cut Paper panels - a frame with laser-cut dragonflies inside.  I used Blending Brushes with Seaside Spray and Misty Moonlight inkpads, to colour the white frame.  The beautifully soft bristles on our Blending Brushes make it easy to colour delicate elements like this, without ripping or warping the paper.

I used the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder to add texture to the Seaside Spray panel, onto which I adhered the laser-cut piece that is matted on Basic White card and Silver Foil sheet.  Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon, and some Metallic Pearls added to the small silver punched-out dragonflies, adds a finishing touch to my design.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Path of Petals stamp set, using Misty Moonlight ink on a piece of Basic White card.  After cutting it out with an Ornate Frames Die, I sponged Seaside Spray ink around the label edges, and added a few Metallic Pearls.  The bluish tone of the silver pearls works well with the colours used on my card.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

Make sure you go to Cathy's blog, to see her lovely work, and to find the links to the blogs of everyone else participating in this week's Colour Creations Showcase.

Tomorrow I will share with you a second Seaside Spray card, that came about as a result of using Blending Brushes on this card.  I hope you'll come back to visit.
