Colour Creations: Merry Merlot

 Hi!


welcome once gain to this week's Colour Creations Creative Showcase. It's time for Merry Merlot, which has more than one meaning after my busy week!! It's not a colour I use a lot, but I do like the rich red, which is part of the Neutrals colour family.

I've paired it with the Brushed Metallics from the Mini Catalogue, specifically the Gold sheet. It's such a rich colour combo. I also used some Frost White Shimmer Paint. I splattered it over the front of the card, focussing on the middle section and tapering off towards the top and bottom. I love the look!

The Joy Dies combined perfectly with the Joy To The World stamp set over the top of the splatters. I heat embossed the sentiment in Gold to match the Brushed Gold Foil.

The inside was kept super simple, with just the larger sentiment from Joy To The World stamped in Merry Merlot.

That's all from me tonight, please pop on over to Catherine's Blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Merry Merlot cards. I'm off to enjoy a sip on the lounge!

Bye for now,

Tina

    I just love that spattering! I have been doing that a lot lately in my artwork! I now want to see the Brushed Gold and Merlot in real life!
    And by all means - if Merry Merlot means more to you this week - pour another glass!! xx

    I like how the shimmer paint tones down the darkness of the card, Tina. Lovely use of the sentiments, too; this is a very nice, elegant, card.
