Colour Creations: Orchid Oasis

 Hi!


Welcome back for Colour Creations in 2022-23! Do you enjoy seeing the colours featured each week? I do! This week we are starting with the brand new In Colours, specifically Orchid Oasis. After two years of only using the focal colour with neutrals, I've decided to branch out this year and use a few more colours.


I found this gorgeous colour combo that Brian King, of Stamp With Brian, put together. I loved the softer So Saffron and Mint Macaron with Orchid Oasis. 

I also decided that for the new In Colours, I would make five cards in each colour and by the end I will have a lovely set of 25 cards to give as a gift. To make this task a little easier, I decided to use some Sheetload Of Cards templates as the basis of my cards. I used the same supplies on each card, just changing the layout to suit the Sheetload template.

Here's the group of five cards. I used three 6x6" sheets of colour family DSP, plus an extra 2" strip of a fourth sheet. A 2x12" strip of Silver Foil was used for the butterflies, and I used scraps for the sentiment panels. I think I used around 4 sheets of A4 cardstock in the colour combo colours, plus Whisper White. I used a mix of On The Horizon and Light The Candles stamp sets for my sentiments.

That's me finished for the night - thanks for hanging around! You definitely want to continue your way around our blog hop though, as there's plenty more Orchid Oasis inspiration to be seen! The next stop is my lovely friend, Rachel Palmieri.
