Time for a new Colour Creations Blog Share. This week it's Smokey Slate, which I surprisingly found to be a hard colour toward with! I asked Rob for inspiration and he straight away said to make a Game Of Thrones card. Umm, no! In the end, I decided to go with a classic pink and grey combo.
My new Rococo Rose ink pad was on my desk, so I did a bit of smooshing with it. I then added some Smokey Slate smooshing around the edges. Once it dried I used my retiring Eclectic Layers dies to cut a few diamonds into the cardstock.
The stamp set is a new one from the upcoming Annual Catalogue, called Genuine Gems. The pieces on my card are actually chopped from a larger sentiment that says 'I told the universe to send some awesome your way'. I half coloured the open letters and then matted them in halves on Smokey Slate and Rococo Rose cardstock. I was going for a card for an older teen girl, so I was trying a few funky things out.
I did a little more smooshing on the inside. It's hard to see, but there is some Smokey Slate in there amongst the Rococo Rose!
Tina to pop on over to Catherine's blog, where you can find the rest of this week's Smokey Slate cards.
Bye for now,
Tina
