CTC #263 Week 2: CASE The Kerchief Colours

Hi!


Thanks for joining us on Week 2 of our CASE of the Kerchief Card Kit Colours blog hop. You may be arriving here from Rebecca's blog, or you may be starting here. Just keep going until you get back to where you started. Have you checked out the kit? It's got the sweetest floral design printed on the card bases!


Last week I made a card that used the Coastal Cabana card, and my natural inclination for this week was to use the Poppy Parade card. However, I had a lovely day stamping with Kathryn Mangelsdorf and Rachel Palmieri recently, and I was able to stamp some images from Kathryn's Above The Clouds stamp set. I thought it would be a great way to get lots of the colours onto one card!

I started with a Balmy Blue base that I used my Shimmery Embossing Paste and the cloud mask to create a sky. To make the clouds look fluffy, I slapped the flat side of my fat palette knife over the smooth paste. I learned this technique when making lemon meringue pie, as it makes lovely peaks in the meringue. Don't you love it when skills from one area translate to other areas of your life? LOL!

The hot air balloons were coloured using Poppy Parade, Night Of Navy, Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow. I was colouring them while watching a movie with my daughter, who was home sick from school. She told me that the top balloon looked like a strawberry, so I had to add the bunting to make it less strawberry-like!

I used my cloud mask with some Balmy Blue ink to create the scattering of clouds across the bottom. Although, now that I think about it, I probably should have put them at the top of the card. Oh well, maybe I'll just pretend that the balloon is floating above the clouds!

That's all from me for tonight. Our challenge is run through our Facebook group. You can see all of the Crew cards posted during the week, and you can also post your card to enter our challenge. You don't need a blog or fancy equipment, just snap a photo and add it with a description. Easy!


Before you go, please do continue on with the hop. Next up is my wonderful friend, Judy, who always has something spectacular to see!


Bye for now,

Tina

  2. What a great, bright, fun card. I always love the cloud background from embossing paste. It adds so much more dimension. Beautiful colouring of the balloons, and the top one doesn’t look like a strawberry to me. Maybe it would have a little without the bunting! Lol.

  3. Oooo, I love the colours and the colouring of your balloons! They really pop against that sky. And the fluffy clouds certainly are fluffy and cloud like!! Such a cool technique. Also, now I want lemon meringue.
