Hi!
Thanks again for stopping by for the new Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Gorgeous Grape, a bright, bubblegum shade of purple.
I chose this bright colour combo by Brian King. I think it's a bit on the Halloween side, so I had my work cut out for me to make it a little (actually, a lot!) less Halloweenish.
I think I succeeded! Any combo with green in it automatically lends itself to a floral card, so that's where I went with my inspiration. I once again used Hand-Penned Petals and the Coordinating Penned Flowers Dies.
I stamped the largest flower in full strength ink, and the next two smallest ones in stamped-off ink. It doesn't look much different, though!
I repeated the flowers on the inside, with another sentiment from Simply Fabulous to go with it.
Thanks again for stopping by, but please do continue your way around tonight's blog hop. There's lots more Gorgeous Grape inspiration to be found, starting with my lovely friend, Rachel Palmieri.
Bye for now,
Tina
Tina this is definitely a success and not halloween at all. This hand penned petals stamp looks amazing in these vibrant bold colours. Love sentiments both inside and out from Simply Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI can see the difference between the first- and second-generation stamping of the Gorgeous Grape flowers, Tina. They all look beautiful. Nice use of this colour combo, and those gorgeous sentiments (I just caved and bought that stamp set today!).
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful colour combo, stunning card Tina!
ReplyDeleteWell you did a great job making your Halloween colours look less like a Halloween card. Lovely job! A really lovely and pretty card!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colours! The trio work so well together and tie in beautifully with the DSP. Totally in love with that font on the sentiment and can’t wait to use that set.
ReplyDeleteLovely Tina, It might be halloween in colour but not in style.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you make me laugh. I didn't even think of 'Halloween' until you mentioned it. I love the scallop border and ribbon between the Grape & Pumpkin DSP, which work perfectly together! Gorgeous card x
ReplyDeleteThe Hand-penned flowers go beautifully with Simply Fabulous sentiments. Your card is like a spring garden, full of colour!
