Well here we are again for another week of Colour Creations Showcase. This is week 13 and we are featuring Crushed Curry. Crushed Curry is a colour from the Regals collection. In my opinion the colour is like the colour of mustard. This week I have used 2 very different colour combinations.
For my first card I have used Crushed Curry along with Old Olive and Sahara Sand, and I must say I really love this combination. I have chosen to use the Lovely you bundle which features some foliage elements along with some really lovely sentiments which can then be punched out with the coordinating Lovely Labels Pick a Punch punches. I have stamped the elements in the round and then overlayed a Stitched Circle upon which I have placed a Square Vellum Doily which I have coloured with Stampin Blends. I have also coloured the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding and a couple of Basic jewels, all with the Old Olive Stampin Blend.
For my second card I have used a completely different colour combination that I took from one of the sheets from the Playing With Patterns DSP pack. Crushed Curry, Night of Navy and Purple Posy.
For this card I have broken out the So Much Happy bundle for it's first use and I have to say I can see it being used a lot! All of the elements, being the balloons, balloon ties, the balloon ribbons and the flag bunting are all dies from the same set. Makes it easy to make a quick and effective card!
Personally I like my first card best but would love to know your thoughts too?

Two very different colour combinations, and card designs, and I love them both! I like the layering of elements (and the coloured vellum doily) on your first card, and (as you may know) am a huge fan of the So Much Happy bundle ... and love what you've done with it on the second card! Cute touch, to add bunting to the smaller part of the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBoth really different but really lovely cards Theresa. Thank you for sharing Crushed Curry with us and how its such a versatile colour, it works with cards of totally different styles!
ReplyDeleteWow, two great cards Theresa! I love the arrangement of the flowers on your first card and the addition of the wooden elements and the hand-coloured ribbon, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteTheresa you've shown two great colour combinations here but I particularly love Crushed Curry with Old Olive and Sahara Sand on your first card. Thank you for sharing your Crushed Curry inspiration with us this week xx
ReplyDeleteGreT cards both of them. I am particularly loving using the a lovely you bundle as well at the moment. You have done a great job and I like the coloured vellum square doily.
ReplyDeleteThese are both great cards Theresa and show how versatile Crushed Curry can be.
ReplyDeleteOoh I especially love your first card, Theresa. The colour combination is fantastic, but I really like how you stamped in the round but placed it at the top of the card like that, very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteTwo very different but lovely cards and showcases her versatile one colour can be.
ReplyDeleteLove both your cards Theresa. Your layering with the Lovely You stamping and the other elements is great. I's so glad I have just ordered the So Much Happy bundle - otherwise it would have been added to the next list. xxx
