Hi!
Welcome back to this week's Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are focussed on Blackberry Bliss. It's a gorgeous, deep purple that has a tendency to get messy. Many times I have come away from a stamping session with the colour, only to have Blackberry Bliss stained fingers! It's the only colour that it seems to happen with, though.
I had the idea to do some crisp, white daisies with a Blackberry Bliss background. The DSP is from the Dandy Garden pack. I knew I wanted to wrap the ribbon around the piece, so I adhered it to some Blackberry Bliss cardstock before cropping it with the scalloped Basic Borders Die. This just gives the card some strength to hold the ribbon in place.
The daisies are three layers each of Whisper White card, sponged with Blackberry ink in the middle, and with a centre of Basic Black card dotted with a white gel pen. The leaves are from the Pierced Blooms Dies, and the sentiment from Pretty Perennials.
All the same supplies and techniques were used on the inside of my card. I had planned to use the DSP offcut from the front, but it looked a little strange so I just trimmed the edge straight. Much better!
That's all from me for this week's Colour Creations, but please do continue your way around the Blog Hop. The next blog to visit is Theresa Gerrard's. Blogger has not been playing nice lately, so if you get an error message when you click though to Theresa's blog, just click on her 'Home' button, which should take you to her post.
Bye for now,

Oh, that background paper looks gorgeous ... I'd completely forgotten I have that in my stash! Love the inky flower centres, too, and the dots in the flower centres to complement the pierced detail on the die cuts. Beautiful card, Tina!
ReplyDeleteOh Tina you are so right, your daisies really pop against the white! I love the design and layout of this card - it is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe crisp white daisies really do pop against the Blackberry Bliss Tina. I love the way you have inked the centres of the daisies to match. Fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Tina. Love the drama of the white daisies against the Blackberry Bliss DSP, especially with the coordinating sponging in the centre of the flowers. Great use of the Basic Borders die and the pierced leaves. Beautiful xxx
ReplyDeleteLove your card Tina and beautifully made daisies especially the centres.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous combination, Tina. I have these daisies in my garden and they are so pretty. I love how you created the centres for them and the sponging is so true to how they actually look irl. That DSP is perfect for this card!
ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful card Tina, I so love daisies, they are a real happy flower. they really pop with the Blackberry Bliss.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous card! Can you tell me what die/punch you used for the daisy? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! The daisies are both punches from Stampin' Up!, there is a large and medium sized punch.
DeleteJust gorgeous Tina. You have absolutely nailed "crisp" on this card. I love those fresh white daisies against the Blackberry Bliss die cut edge.
ReplyDeleteThat DSP coordinates perfectly with those beautiful daisies Tina and the flower centres are very effective
ReplyDeleteYour card looks great and I think the inside of the card could be a card on its own.
