Shaded Spruce isn’t a green that I tend to use very much and so when planning my card I had to search possible colour combinations. One that was suggested was Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam and Gold, which really appealed to me. Naturally I have also added Basic White to the mix. The bundle that has been chosen for this colour combination is the Notes Of Nature bundle from the current mini catalogue .
The paper used on the card base is from Natures Sweetness which I also from the same suite of products as the Notes Of Nature bundle. It features white and gold so the perfect choice. The paper has been embossed using the Timeworn Type embossing folder.
The gold paper circle that is underneath the foliage has been cut using the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and a Deckled Circle die.
Two types of foliage have been used. One is a stamped image from the Notes of Nature bundle, using Black Memento and then coloured in Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam using Stampin Blends. These images have then been die it using one of the dies from the Notes Of Nature die set. For the other foliage the long Notes of Nature die has been used with either Shaded Spruce or Soft Sea Foam card. As the image is very long it has been cut into 2 pieces. The remains as you will see have been used on the inside of the card.
The sentiment is also from the Notes of Nature stamp set and been embossed in gold although it is hard to see in the photo.
Finally a couple of Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots in gold have been added.
As you can see the inside has been decorated using some of the leftover bits and pieces of paper and die cuts.

This lovely colour combination, and your choice of product bundle, gives your card a beautiful understated elegance, T. It is so pretty. I love that you used the extra die-cut "bits" inside the card.

ReplyDeleteTheresa such an elegant colour combination and beautiful layering of leaves with the gold accents. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteTheresa, I love what you have done with the TIEF on the DSP background, looks amazing. Using the softer colours for your combination, really is pretty and very elegant with the touches of gold.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous and elegant card Theresa. Love it. I adore your colour combo and the way you have used it. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful colour selection and I love your card Theresa. Feeling sad that this stamp set hasn't carried over, unless it is online.
