Welcome to tonight's Colour Creations Blog Share. This week we are using So Saffron as a feature colour on our cards. I was happy about this, as I struggled with some of the neutrals we've done in the past few weeks. however, every time I sat down to create I was blanking for ideas! I'm still not totally thrilled with this card, but at least I got something done.
I started by inking up the flat side of my Country Floral DTIEF with Night Of Navy Ink and then running it through my Big Shot with a piece of So Saffron cardstock. It's not a technique I use often, but I like the way it turned out on this card. I was too efficient and washed my folder before I realised I should have done a second piece for the inside too. I decided to chop a piece off the front panel tout aside for the inside, which then necessitated chopping up the rest of the panel to stretch it for the front of the card. See, it doesn't alway pay to be too tidy!
I matted the sections with Whisper White to help them stand out more. The label for the sentiment was from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit. I always get to this point of the catalogue and start madly trying to use up all the pretty stuff that I've hoarded all year!
The inked/embossed piece didn't look right with just a So Saffron border, so I added a Whisper White one first. I guess it echoes the front, so it's ok!
It's time to pop on over to Catherine's blog now, where you can find the rest of this week's So Saffron links.
Bye for now,
