This week, week 16 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour Crushed Curry, is a member of the Regals colour group. Crushed Curry is quite a polarizing colour and whilst other members of this blog hop were glad to be done with this colour, I personally don't mind it. It's not a colour I use a lot but when I do, I like it.
When planning my card for this week I always had in mind that I wanted to team Crushed Curry with Black and White and maybe a pop of another colour. I was also wanting to use some of the gorgeous Gingham Cottage paper from the current mini. I was also planning to make another card that wasn't floral.
Fortunately the Gingham Cottage paper has both Crushed Curry and Black and White papers so they were my starting point for the card. I die cut both of these pieces using the Deckled Rectangle dies and mounted them on a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock that had been randomly stamped using one of the stamps from Framed Occasions, in Crushed Curry. This was then mounted on a piece of Black cardstock giving a narrow frame so as to not be too overpowering.
The sentiment is also from Framed Occasions and has been stamped with Versamark on Black cardstock and then embossed in White. I have also used the circular frame stamp from the same stamp set, in the same manner. This has then been die cut using one of the Beautiful Shapes dies and then mounted on a piece of Vellum that has also been die cut using largest circular die that has embossing on it as well but it is a bit hard to see in the photo.
For the pop of colour I decided to use the balloon stamp from the Celebrate With Tags bundle from the current mini. I did this in Calypso Coral. I love how the stamp has a matching die so there's no fussy cutting! Finally as you can see in the photo above I have added a bow using both White and Black Bakers Twine to emulate holding the bunch of balloons together. I have also added a couple of Classic Matte Dots in Black.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Rosa Leyden. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.
