Welcome to week 10 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Cherry Cobbler. Cherry Cobbler is a member of the Regals family of colours and is a very strong deep red colour, quite often used in Christmas cards. This week I was determined NOT to use it for a Christmas card though.
Being such a strong colour I decided to tone it down by using Basic White and Sahara Sand. In this card I have used to of my favourite bundles, Quite Meadow and Forever Blossoms.
I chose to only colour the flower centres to try and emulate Cherry Blossom. Reminds me of Japan. Maybe I've been watching too much of the Olympics! I have actually added in another die cut and coloured flower and a couple of leaf sprigs just to fill the flower spray out a bit. The background card has been dry embossed using Tasteful Textiles to try an soften the background.
For the sentiment I have used one of the greetings from Quiet Meadow which also has a corresponding die. The sentiment has been embossed in White on Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Then finally a couple of Champagne Rhinestones.

Oh Theresa you are definitely channeling a cherry blossom vibe - what a stunning colour combination! Your embossing looks fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteI tried not to make a Christmas card, too, but that just didn't work for me! LOL. I think you nailed it, including so much white. Lovely card, my friend. x
ReplyDeleteI think your cherry blossoms, inspired by the Olympics, are perfect Theresa. I love Forever Blossoms but haven’t used it in ages. Thanks for reminding me how pretty it is.
ReplyDeleteThe white space with the floral image looks gorgeous and fresh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card Theresa, I think you've captured the cherry blossom rather nicely.
ReplyDeleteYes, Theresa, this is the perfect card for this time of year while we have our TVs on 24/7 watching the Olympics in Japan. I love these cherry blossoms and all the crisp white area around them, lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Theresa and creating those Cherry blossoms with Cherry Cobbler coloured centres! It results in a fresh looking card.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a fabulous job of “toning down” Cherry Cobbler Theresa. A lovely fresh look to your card with just the flower centre’s coloured.
