I am really happy, after more than 5 months away, to be back participating in the Colour Creations blog hops. To start off this new round, we are going to first focus on the five beautiful new In Colors that will be in Stampin' Up!'s range from 2023 to 2025. The colour we're starting with is Boho Blue.
The new Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper is just SO beautiful! I've used three of the patterned papers on my card, teaming Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight and Basic White.
In this photo, you can see the gorgeous Boho Blue Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems, which I've used along with Iridescent Pearls to decorate my card.
On Basic White card, I stamped the sentiment in Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight ink. The words "just can't enough" are on one stamp, so I stamped those first. Because the stamps are photopolymer, I was able to easily line up the "thank you" (inked in Misty Moonlight) in the gap between the two lines. I am in love with the pierced-edge rectangle dies that include little cross-stitch details on each side. Whilst we're on the subject of new products I love, check out that Boho Blue Textured Ribbon. It's rather lush!
I adhered the sentiment label on the scalloped rectangle, so some scallops show beneath. After laying down the ribbon, and sticking down the bow with glue dots, I adhered all the layers to the card base. A few Iridescent Pearls added to flower centres on the "tree" paper finished off the design.
