For my card I was inspired by a US Demonstrator Su Mohr and chose to CASE one her cards that she created some months ago using the Blending brushes. I haven't had a chance to have good play with them recently so this gave me the opportunity. I have chosen to team Coastal Cabana with Highland Heather and Granny Green Apple.
The base of the card is actually Shimmery White cardstock but it is a bit hard to see it in the photo. This has been embossed using the Old World Paper embossing folder which I have just realized is actually retired but you could easily replace it for another such as Painted Texture instead for the same effect. You start by die cutting the sprig which is from the Artistic Dies and then using a Blending brush, one colour at a time, apply the colour. There is no right or wrong. When you do this you actually create another piece of cardstock which has the die cut outline in white and then the rest of the colours brushed around it. I'm going to save this piece to create another card down the track. Finally the sentiment is from the Art Gallery bundle and whilst I had a brush loaded with Coastal Cabana I have coloured some Crinkled Seam Binding. Finally a couple of Holiday Rhinestone jewels in Coastal Cabana.

Theresa your colour combination is gorgeous and it just pops perfectly in front of your embossed white background. Great idea to colour the ribbon with the ink left on your blending brush.
ReplyDeleteCathy beat me to it ... what a gorgeous colour combination! The bright, colourful, leaves look so beautiful against the white background, T. I hadn't thought to colour white ribbon with an inked blending brush ... I'm now curious, about whether the ink dried quickly? This is a beautiful card. x
ReplyDeleteLove that die cut leaf, and its even better coloured like this. It looks great on the textured background too.
ReplyDeleteA lovely colour combination, Theresa, so gorgeous against the white background. I love that you coloured the ribbon too!
ReplyDeleteI love your colour combination on the leaf. It looks stunning against the crisp white background.
ReplyDeleteSimple and elegant Theresa. I love that you chose Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green to work with the Coastal Cabana. A perfect colour combo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful combination of colours Theresa. Loving the embossed white background.
