STAMPIN' UP! EARTHEN TEXTURES CARD IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

Today's card is the last one in my current Earthen Textures series, but I am sure you will see many more cards using these products on my blog in the coming year.  These stamps, dies and papers are already a firm favourite in my collection.

I am very happy that Misty Moonlight has returned to Stampin' Up!'s colour range.  I've used lots of it on my card, adding a few contrasts in Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.

How beautiful is that background paper?  It's from the Earthen Elegance DSP pack, as is the geometric patterned piece on my card front.

I die-cut the large palm leaf from Misty Moonlight card, and sponged around the edges with Misty Moonlight ink.  The gorgeous glossy dots are In Color Dots in Boho Blue.

The sentiment, from Botanical Layers, was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on Very Vanilla card.  This piece, and the Crumb Cake scalloped oval, was cut out with the Double Oval Punch.  I sponged around the edges of the Crumb Cake layer, with Crumb Cake ink.

Here's a closer look at the pots and the ribbon treatment.  Two of the pots were stamped on Misty Moonlight card, using Misty Moonlight ink (also used to sponge around the edges).  The smaller pot is topped with handles cut from another very cool patterned paper in the Earthen Elegance DSP pack.  The middle pot was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake card.

Before adhering the pots to my card, I laid some Misty Moonlight Inner Braid Ribbon (with the reverse side showing) across my card, where the two blue papers meet.  I knotted some Crumb Cake baker's twine around the ribbon, and used my Paper Snips to gently tease the threads apart.

The middle pot is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  To add the smallest pot, I used Stampin' Dimensionals just on the right-hand side ... liquid glue was used to stick it onto the brown pot.

STAMPIN' UP! MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD IN PEBBLED PATH

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Pebbled Path, the fourth of the five new Stampin' Up! In Colors we're sharing this month.  Pebbled Path is a brownish-grey, that I like to call "elephant grey".  

This great colour features in the Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper, which is fab for masculine cards.  Here's what I came up with:

I cut a panel of the fishing net patterned paper, sponged the edges with Pebbled Path ink, and adhered it to a slightly larger Very Vanilla mat.  

The sentiment, from Phrases For All, was stamped in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla card, and cut out using a Deckled Rectangles die.  After running this piece through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, I moved the die cut piece up a little, and cropped it using one long edge of the Deckled Rectangle die.  A couple of In Color Dots were added to the sentiment label.

Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon was laid across my card front, and I added a knot made from two strands of Boho Blue Jute Trim. 

Using a Nested Essentials Die, I cut out a few fish from another sheet of the Let's Go Fishing DSP.  After placing them where I wanted them, I used Paper Snips to trim the edges that overhung the Pebbled Path DSP.

More In Color Dots (in Boho Blue, as well as Pebbled Path) were added to the background.

Because my card base is Pebbled Path, and too dark to write on with most pens, I added a Very Vanilla piece to the inside.  I decorated it with a piece of the fish patterned paper, to complement the design on the card front.
