STAMPIN' UP! ABIGAIL ROSE CARD IN EARLY ESPRESSO

 

The colour we're focussing on, for this week's Colour Creations blog hop, is Early Espresso.  This beautiful dark brown is a favourite of mine, for masculine cards ... but I've gone in a different direction today.  I've had a play with one of the beautiful Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper sheets.  It has an Early Espresso, scripty, background with white tulips all over.  I used Stampin' Blends markers, to colour the flowers in Petal Pink, and the stems and leaves in Crumb Cake.

After colouring the DSP panel, I adhered it to an Early Espresso mat, and a Petal Pink card base.

The sentiment, from Go To Greetings, was white heat-embossed on Early Espresso card, and cut with a Seasonal Labels Die.  I embossed a strip of vellum with an Elegant Eucalyptus 3D embossing folder, and stuck it onto a piece of Basic White card that has a scalloped border thanks to a Penned Flowers Die.  A couple of Petal Pink Solid Faceted Gems, and a bow made from Early Espresso Faux Suede Ribbon, were my embellishments of choice.

I painted over the tulips with clear Wink of Stella ... if you squint a bit, I think you can see the very subtle glimmer in this photo!
