Colour Creations: Sahara Sand

 Hi!


Welcome back to the new Colour Creations Creative Showcase. This week was a challenge for me, as we tackled Sahara Sand. At the start of this Colour Creations series, I decided that I was only going to use the focal colour, plus Basics colours. It's really hard to make a Sahara Sand card with only Black, White or Vanilla to go with it!

My idea started with a new set of dies that I received in my preorder this week - Basic Border Dies. It's a super versatile set of border dies with stitched features and a variety of shapes for adding borders to a piece of card or DSP. For my card, I chose a banner-like die, that cut the bottom edge of the Sahara Sand DSP.

I layered the DSP over a piece of Subtle-embossed Whisper White card. The main image was stamped and sponged while the Stitched Shapes circle die was still in place. This leaves a nice, crisp white edge around the outside.

I've left the inside sentiment free, as it means that it could be either a birthday card or a Father's Day card. I will stamp an appropriate sentiment when I use it. Can you see that I used the off-cut from the front at the bottom? The Basic Borders Dies give a stitched feature on both sides of the cut edge, so it was an easy task to add the off-cut to the inside.

It's time now to head on over to Cathy's blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Sahara Sand links. I'm curious to see if anyone else had a hard time like me!

Bye for now,

Tina

    I absolutely LOVE the Basic Border Dies, and really love how you've used both pieces of DSP cut by the die, Tina. Great all-occasion card.

    Oh Tina - what a great card. I so love the simplicity of Sahara Sand and White and the way you have used the new Basic Borders Dies with the Sahara Sand DSP - especially using the remaining stitched piece inside the card. You are brilliant. xxx

    I love your card Tina and those dies! I love how the sponged Sahara Sand stitched circle looks. I must remember to try this as I love the white border that's created by leaving the die in place while you add the colour. And, I absolutely love the off-cut border on the inside - I NEED those dies!

    So simple and so elegant Tina - I love how you've used both pieces of the DSP outside and inside your card.

    You have done a really lovely card using Basic's with it. I love the boarders and the cut off piece on the inside of your card.

    What a beautiful card, Tina. Yes, those Basic Border dies are fabulous and I love how you used them on your card. A lovely neutral colour palette too.
