Hi!
Welcome back to this week's Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week it's Bumblebee's turn. Are you a fan of this mustardy-yellow? I am not! I much prefer a 'cleaner' yellow, so I really struggled with this week's card. In looking through the products I own that featured Bumblebee, I came across my What A Year Memories and More card pack, and an idea was born!
I loved the tile pattern on this card, and so it became the basis for my card. I started by cropping the curve in the bottom of the card using one of my Basic Borders Dies. I then matted the piece on some Bumblebee cardstock and cropped it again, so that I had a thin Bumblebee border all around the piece.
I couldn't resist using the retired Dainty Diamonds 3DEF on the Whisper White card - it is the perfect match with the M&M card! A few pops of black with the Matte Black Dots finished off the front nicely.
You can see that on the inside of my card I used the offcuts from the M&M card and the Bumblebee matt on the front. Not much gets wasted in my house!
Please continue your way around our Blog Hop, as there's plenty more inspiration to be seen. Next up is the AWH Team leader, Claire Daly.

Tina you are the cleverest person I know with looking at a limited supply of a colour and coming up with something unique. Love the curve on the M&M card and the use of the off cut inside.
ReplyDeleteThat cheery tile pattern has a real Moroccan look about it, I think. Bumblebee looks beautiful with white, and black touches, Tina. Nice way to decorate the inside of your card, too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the thrifty use of the MM card, and the crisp colour combination with the pop of black. Great card Tina!
ReplyDeleteA lovely clean and simple card. Happy and fresh.
ReplyDeleteOh Tina, this is such an eye-catching card. I love Bumblebee with a stark white and that tile pattern is stunning. I agree with you about the tone of Bumblebee, not my favourite either ;)
ReplyDeleteVery thrifty using the MnM card for this one and white yellow and black always look good together
ReplyDeleteClean and simple cards are the best Tina and yours is stunning.
ReplyDeleteYour card may be minimalist, but it sure does pack a punch! Loving those border dies too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic fresh card, great use of Bumblebee with white and black.
ReplyDeleteThis card is just gorgeous! I love it and limited supplies the colours are just perfect don't need another on there it is stunning and vibrant and I need the border dies now. I wish I could do clean and simple like you!
