Hi!
Thanks for once again joining me for the new Colour Creations Creative Showcase. This week it's Rich Razzleberry's turn. Razzleberry was one of a trio of In Colours (alongside Melon Mambo and Soft Suede) that was released mid way through a catalogue year, with the goal of bringing the South Pacific market into line with the North American market. I was thrilled when it later returned as a core colour, as it's a gorgeous, rich purple,
For this week's card I pulled out three products that I love, but haven't played with much lately - Under My Umbrella bundle, Ornate Layers Dies and my Watercolour Pencils. The focal images were stamped in Memento ink and then coloured with my Rich Razzleberry Watercolour pencil. I used my usual Wink Of Stella to blend the colour rather than water. I find I have much more control over the colour this way.
My background was stamped using the two smallest flower clusters. I popped both onto one block and away I went until the Whisper White cardstock was covered. I then embossed it with my Subtle 3DEF folder, to give the effect of fabric. I was hoping that this photo would capture the sparkly boots, etc, but it was a dull day here in Adelaide, with no sun to help show the shimmer. Oh well, you'll just have to imagine it!
I used an offcut of Rich Razzleberry card and the same Ornate Layers Die as on the front to crop a little feature piece for the bottom of the writing panel. I think that it looks quite pretty!
That's all from me for tonight, but please do pop on over to Cathy's blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Rich Razzleberry cards. We are close to the end now, I think only about 9-10 weeks to go.
Bye for now,
Tina
Tina your water colouring is fabulous as is your monochrome palette. I really like the way you've created your homemade DSP with the little floral stamp too. Thank you so much for inspiring us all with your Rich Razzleberry creation tonight!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried using Wink of Stella to blend with Watercolor Pencils; what a great idea, and lovely effect. I really like how you've used the Ornate Layers dies, Tina. Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card Tine. Your showcasing of RR really brings out its beauty. Your watercolouring of the boots and umbrella with wink of stella highlights the gorgeous lighter tint, and looks great alongside the strong colour in the cardstock and the stamped little flowers. Your card is amazing, especially as you have only used RR with white and black. xxx
ReplyDeleteTina I love your 'handmade' textured background paper and your images are so beautifully coloured. Your card is very cute. I shed a tear when I saw they were retiring the Subtle EF.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is beautiful. I have really struggled with this stamp set, but maybe I have been thinking too hard about how to use it. This is perfect, I'm off to case it this weekend ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and pretty card, Tina. I love the soft colouring of your focal images and the really cute background stamping.
ReplyDeleteI love your watercolouring! You've done an amazing job and a lovely monochromatic card.
