Colour Creations: Cherry Cobbler

Hi!


Thanks for once again joining me for the Colour Creations Showcase. This week we are all creating with Cherry Cobbler, a lovely, rich red. It's a colour that I associate with Christmas, and given that I have just received my new Christmas goodies, it was a no-brainer for me.

I started by embossing my Whisper White card front with the Subtle 3DEF, and then layering some of the double sprigs from the Sunflowers Dies in opposite corners. I used three sprigs on each side, and just adhered them at the base so that the ends would sit away from the base.

I then layered one of the Forever Gold Laser Cut accents over the top using Dimensionals. Before I did, though, I die cut the word 'Joy' from the Joy Dies from the centre of the accent piece. As it was going to be covered up anyway, it's a great way to be a little more thrifty with your supplies.

I used another, smaller, Forever Gold accent piece on the inside. It matches the leaves in the piece on the front, so I think it suits perfectly. I tried layering more of the sprigs underneath, but it just wasn't working, so I opted for just the simple leaves.

As always, this week's Creative Showcase is hosted by the lovely Catherine. Please pop on over to her blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's links.

Bye for now,

Tina
