Colour Creations: Night Of Navy

 Hi!


Welcome back to the Colour Creations Creative Showcase for 2021. We are continuing our alphabetical tour through the Stampin' Up! colour range, resuming with Night Of Navy. It's a lovely dark blue, with purple undertones, and is a part of the Neutrals family.

I had yet to play with any of my new catalogue goodies, so I pulled out the Pretty Perennials Bundle for my card. I was keen to see how the flowers would go with the blue and white colour scheme - and I love it! I stamped the three watercolourish flowers on the front of my card in Night Of Navy ink and layered it over a Night Of Navy base.

The sentiment label is from the Painted Labels dies, with the Silver Foil layer hand-cut to match the corner notches. I also cut the leaf spray from the Perennial Petals Dies from Silver Foil. The full die cut is to the left of the label, with just a single leaf to the bottom right.

A few more flowers were stamped on the inside to finish off the card. Do you recognise the sentiment? I used it a *lot* at the end of last year! I was very excited to realise that the font in Pretty Perennials nearly perfectly matches the font in the Joy To The World Paper Pumpkin kit stamp set. Yay!

I simply masked off the word 'Christmas' before stamping the sentiment. The single word 'Birthday' fits in the gap perfectly. I'm so excited to realise that the sentiment works equally as well for Birthdays as it does for Christmas! If you missed it last year, the Joy Of Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit is still available 😉

Thanks for joining me tonight, please head on over to the very lovely Catherine's blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Night Of Navy links.

Bye for now,

Tina

    Such a gorgeous card Tina. I love the Night of Navy flowers, the silver foil leaves and the silver behind the label and I do love this stamp set (was trying to resist, but will be giving it more consideration). Xxx

    Tina this card is so beautiful in its elegant simplicity. I love the little touches that really make this like hand cutting the corners of the silver layer. Thank you for sharing your Night of Navy inspiration with us all.

    Those flowers look gorgeous stamped in Night of Navy, Tina. I love the subtle touch of silver. The Painted Labels die (I had completely forgotten about this set - must dig it out again!) is perfect for the sentiment. Beautiful card!

    Such a beautiful, soft, elegant card Tina! The perfect amount of silver to make the Navy pop. Really beautifully balanced.

    I love the subtle touch of the silver with the Navy. It is the perfect touch to finish the card off.

    Oh you are such a clever lady. The label is so cool and thanks for explaining how you made it, and that sentiment on the inside is outstanding, I love that. I wish they would have one with birthday, as I love the 'filled with fun and laughter'!

    Night of Navy, white and silver are a perfect match in my opinion. I love your sweet, fresh design Tina.

    What a clever discovery Tina. Your card is great but I love your creative use of the old and new sentiments to make something original.
