Hi!
Thanks for stopping by for our Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are looking at Balmy Blue this week, a lovely, light blue. It's a blue that I really like and use a lot.
I've once again chosen to use a Brian King colour combo for my card. I thought it suited a masculine card, so I pulled out my On The Horizon bundle. I'm so sad that it is retiring at the end of the month!
I had fun playing with the Horizon Dies to create a scene on my card front. The Navy hill is actually in reverse - I felt it suited the layout better to have the bigger hill on the left. I had to creatively trim the piece so that it would fit across the card - it's more suited to a landscape card.
I messed up the stamping on the front of the card - I forgot to stamp the Happy Birthday until after I'd put the Dimensionals on the back. I gave it a try, but as you can see, I had to cover the mess with a stamped banner instead!
Nice and simple on the inside. I really like the combo of the die cut trees and the stamped birds.
That's all from me for tonight - short and sweet! Next stop along the way is my lovely friend, Rachel Palmieri.
Catherine can help if you get stuck. She has a list of all participants on her blog, so jump on over there is you find a link that isn't working.
Bye for now,
Tina
Lovely fresh, stylish card Tina. Wonderful way to use these dies and the inside is perfect
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best cards I've seen using these dies and it is also my favourite of the Brian King colour combos that you've used!
ReplyDeleteI love your card so much Tina and the hills and snow covered mountains look fabulous using this colour combination. The trees and birds on the inside is very nice.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous Tina. Love your mountain scene with the mountain die cuts. The snowy mountains are lovely and the background hills are perfect for the scene. The sentiment on the banner looks like it was meant to be. So love your card inner too. Xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, this is brilliant, Tina. Such a fresh colour combination and layering is perfect; the trees behind the sentiment, the snow capped mountains and the stripy DSP background. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely crisp card Tina and as always the perfect Brian King Colour combo
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you used the Horizon dies again Tina, I love the scenes you create.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to echo Cathy's sentiments! Is it terrible to admit I've never noticed those Horizon Dies? I love the scene you've created, Tina ... and the colour combo is fabulous. I don't think you messed up the sentiment at all; I'm a fan of added layers, and I really like how the sentiment banner sits with a bit of the white hill showing above it. Great card!
