Enjoying Macaron On The Waterfront

Hi!

Welcome back to Colour Creations for 2019! This year/week we are kicking off with one of my all-time favourite colours - Mint Macaron. When I found out that is was returning in the recent Colour Refresh I may have jumped up and down and even squealed a little. LOL!

The idea for todays card came about because I had a piece of Mint Macaron DSP from the Tranquil Textures DSP pack that was too small to be used as a full sized card front. Easy fix - chop it up and stretch it out! I started by chopping a piece off the bottom and then chopping that in thirds. The top piece was then chopped the same way before all pieces were adhered to the Night Of Navy cardstock. The trick is to just adhere a small section until you are happy with the placement.

I tried something new to me with stamping the main panel. After I cut the Stitched Circle, I left the cardstock in the die while I stamped the scene. I like that it leaves the stitched border white, but not in a uniform way like masking would. I think I'll be trying this again!

I repeated the same scene on the inside. Did you notice that on the palm trees I stamped the trunks twice, but the fronds a heap more, including second generation stamping to get different shades of Mint Macaron? It makes the palms so much more lush, as befits a tropical scene.

As always, head on over to Catherine's Blog to see the rest of this week's cards. I can't wait to see what everyone's made.

Bye for now,

Tina
