The Stampin' Up! colour we are showcasing in this week's Colour Creations blog hop is Blackberry Bliss. I was inspired by a colour combination shared by Helen Read of All Things Stampy, but switched her original suggestion of Soft Sky, to Pool Party. I have created, with these colours, another anniversary card for my stash:
I've used the Gorgeously Made stamp and die bundle, adding in a sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set, as used on last week's card (as "happy anniversary" sentiments are a bit scarce on my stamp set shelves!).
I started off by embossing a piece of Thick Basic White card, with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. After adhering it to my Thick Basic White card base, I started work on my main art piece.
I cut a panel of Basic White card, 1/2 cm smaller all round than the embossed white background. Using a border stamp from Gorgeously Made, I stamped the bottom of this piece in Pool Party and Lost Lagoon inks. I then stamped the text all over the remaining white space, using Smoky Slate and Blackberry Bliss inks. Using a Blending Brush, I lightly applied Blackberry Bliss ink over the top of the stamped text.
Die-cut leafy pieces, in Blackberry Bliss and Pool Party, were glued on top of the card layers.
On a scrap of Blackberry Bliss card, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, added white embossing powder, and heat set it. I cropped the sentiment with a label from the Gorgeously Made Dies.
A few Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins were added above the sentiment. I think the matte silver is a good complement to the Smoky Slate ink that subtly appears on my card.
