This week, is week 19 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is Crumb Cake, a member of the Neutrals family of colours. Crumb Cake is a colour that I use quite often but not as the feature colour so it was somewhat of a challenge.
For my card this week I have chosen to combine Crumb Cake with one of the newest In Colours, the beautiful Boho Blue, along with a little bit of Early Espresso, Old Olive and of course Basic White. I have also finally"broken out" the Seasonal Branches bundle.
The starting point was to stamp all of the feature images onto white card. The branch in Early Espresso, the leaves in Old Olive and the flowers in Boho Blue. These were then all die cut using their corresponding dies from the Seasonal Branches dies.
The cute little bird was stamped in Early Espresso and then coloured with Crumb Cake an Boho Blue Stampin Blends and die cut.
These were then all mounted onto a piece of white card cut using one of the circular Stylish Shapes dies. This was then mounted onto a piece of what I call the reverse side of one of the pieces of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper featuring Boho Blue. The photo below shows it in more detail. It has a "wash" of white through it to add to the contrast of it.
The sentiment is also from Seasonal Branches and has been stamped in Early Espresso and die cut using one of the circular dies from Radiating Stitches.
Each of the flower centres has a small Festive Pearl added. Apparently they are supposed to be green but to me they are quite blue especially on the Boho Blue flowers.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely fancy fold queen Sharon Davern. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

Lovely card Theresa, Boho Blue looks fabulous with Crumb Cake and the colouring of you sweet little bird is beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card, Theresa - the Radiating Stitched dies work so well with the Seasonal Birds. Love the design and layout of this card.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely colour choices, T! I love the Radiating Stitches die-cuts teamed with the Stylish Shapes circle; they work really well together. I agree, the Festive Pearls really pick up a blue tone when placed on Boho Blue. Really pretty card, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet card with that Boho Blue panel atop the embossed Crumb Cake card. Great colours for your feature tree branch and bird.
ReplyDeleteThe fern embossing folder is a good idea for the little bird. It's bound to cheer up someone who is feeling poorly.
