This week, is week 15 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 Cajun Craze, a member of the Regals family and a colour that I don't tend to use very much.
Cajun Craze is a very bold colour very much like Terracotta and in saying so is also quite polarizing. For me it is one of my least used colours due to its boldness. Often when I am looking for inspiration I will turn to the the beautiful papers that Stampin' Up! creates and this week I have used a couple of the pieces of the Fresh As A Daisy papers.
It is not particularly clear to see in the photo but I have actually used two different papers and die cut them using the Patchwork Pieces dies. To break up and soften the piece featuring Pretty Peacock I have embossed it using one of the 3D Basics embossing folders. When creating my card I cut 2 pieces of the paper, the one featuring Pretty Peacock and another featuring Cajun Craze and the white daisies. I have then alternated each of the papers and adhered them to a piece of White cardstock.
This has then been adhered to a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock that has been stamped using the floral trio stamp and Versamark so as to give a softer image.
I have then used White cardstock and the Cheerful Daisies dies to cut the Daisy Spray. I have sponged the centres with Cajun Craze and a sponge douber.
I have added some Gold Simply Elegant Trim behind the Daisies as well as some Gold Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins to the flower centres.
The sentiment is also from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and has been stamped in Cajun Craze. The die used for the sentiment is also from the Cheerful Daisies die set.
