Hi!
Thanks for once again joining me for the Colour Creations Creative Showcase. This week we have one of my all-time least favourite colours, Purple Posy. To me, it's just not a very interesting colour. My apologies if you're a big fan!
I had the idea with this card to sponge some Purple Posy ink around the woman to give a bit of a sunset/dusk like glow. I still have my Purple Posy ink pad , and while it's not a great ink to stamp with, it's OK with sponging. I stamped the image of the woman and then masked her off before using a Blending Brush to add the ink all around her. It's very subtle!
You can sort of see the effect in the second photo. I used the new Pearlescent Paper as my base. I think that it doesn't 'take' ink as well as plain Whisper White, which is why it's quite pale.
Just a bit of simple stamping on the inside, no sentiment. This makes the card a bit multi-purpose, as the front sentiment, "Thinking of You" is generic enough for be suitable for a few different situations.
As always, you can find the rest of this week's cards over on Cathy's blog.
Bye for now,
Tina
Tina you would never guess you didn't like this colour - your card is so beautiful and feminine! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Purple Posy project with us all tonight x
ReplyDeleteYou've managed to create a very pretty, serene, scene with a colour you don't like, Tina! The subtle sponging on the front, and the tone-on-tone stamping inside, are my favourite bits.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it funny how we all have different tastes with the colours? LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely card Tina xx
I love the subtle femininity of your card. The soft purple glow around the lovely lady is beautiful as is the soft luster of the pearlescent paper. xxx
ReplyDeleteA sweet card Tina and love how you have used Purple Posy in the simple layout to project a thoughtful card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tina, It's not one of my favourite colours but you have done a great job.
ReplyDeleteSweet card Tina, I wouldn't have thought to stamp on the pearlescent paper.
ReplyDeleteEven though your not fond of Purple Posy as a colour Tina, you’ve managed to create a very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card, Tina. I think keeping it simple by just adding the sponging on the front and single stamp inside, makes it perfect.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Tina, so versatile. Not easy to work with a colour that's your "least favourite", but you did really well!
ReplyDeleteI love the glow you have around the girl. It's a very pretty and feminine card.
