JAI #239: COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is to use the following fabulous colour combination on a papercraft project:

Nikki chose these colours, and I must say I am loving them.  Once I'd made today's card, I made another - that I'll share with you at a later date!  I don't think I've used Lost Lagoon and Early Espresso together, but they are a fantastic combo for masculine cards (my favourite).

Although it's not really obvious on my card, I used Brushed Gold cardstock for the gold elements; it's rather muted and subtle, so you could be forgiven for thinking it's Crumb Cake in the photo.  For a male card, though, I love that it's not 'flashy'.  Here's what I made, for a very special young man:

All of the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card can be purchased from my online store, by simply clicking on the images below.

Make sure you check out the beautiful creations made by the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team - this colour combination lends itself to such a variety of styles and designs.

STAMPIN' UP! BACK TO BLACK, COLOURED WITH BLENDABILITES, PART 2

Since I shared this card with you the other day, I've been wanting to have a go at creating something else, using the same technique.

Here's a close-up of the piece of Designer Series Paper, from Stampin' Up!'s Back to Black pack, I started off with:

While I was watching "The First 48" on tv, I set to colouring the white 'bits' with my Blendabilities.  Here's what I ended up with:

 

How cool is that??!!

 

I then cut this newly-colourful paper into pieces, and used it to make some little "thank you" cards for my customers.  Take a look at the finished product:
