Colour Creations: Coastal Cabana

 Hi!

Welcome to the new Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week it's Coastal Cabana's time to shine! I really love this blue-green, as I think it's a fun, versatile colour.

I pulled out my Light The Candles Kit, as Coastal Cabana is one of the featured colours. I went rogue though, just using the pieces from the kit to make a card rather than make one of the set cards. I was very inspired by a card made by Helen Read of All Things Stampy.

I love how the coloured stripes (which are meant to sit behind the laser cut candle paper) are glittery. It made stamping on them a bit of a challenge, but I think that the effort is worth it. I used my Night Of Navy ink pad instead of the Stazon ink that Helen used, as I didn't want to introduce yet another colour to the card.

There was a small strip of the spotty background paper left to use to decorate the inside of the card. The paper is actually the card base in the kit, but by cutting it in half and adding it to another card base, you can get two cards instead of one. Thrifty!

That's all from me for tonight, but as always, there is plenty more Coastal Cabana gorgeousness to be seen. The next stop in the Blog Hop is my fabulous friend, Ros Davidson, who loves bright colours so is sure to have made something wonderful with Coastal Cabana.

Speaking of fabulous, our host tonight is the fabulous Cathy Proctor. If you run into issues with links, just pop on over to her blog, where you'll find a list of all of tonight's hoppers to help get you back on track.

Bye for now,

Tina
