Well here we are at the colour that I am not fond of. Now I like the colour I think it is a gorgeous golden yellow colour. The reason I have a problem with it is that I was asked to make 1000 crowns in this colour a few years ago and in a very short window of time and it was time consuming and everything I did for some reason something went wrong, so, I have a little bit of trauma around this colour but it really is a lovely golden yellow colour!
This week Crushed Curry
For my card tonight I have used many layers and textures to build up my card. I have a family friend who has their 82 year old mother going into hospital tomorrow for cancer surgery and they can't go with her as we are in stage 4 lock down. Life still goes on with all the complexities and I thought a card with the sentiment behind it of I am always here for you might be a little reminder that we can be on the other end of the phone even though we can't physically be there.
I have used Smokey Slate and Crushed Curry as my 2 main colours and I have used the Regals and the Neutrals 6x6 DSP stacks for the added interest in the card tonight and of course I love the Scripty 3D Embossing folder. I have layered the DSP with the Smokey slate after stamping the word "Always" from the Lovely You stamp set by using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
My little flower arrangement I have stamped the flower from the Free as a Bird stamp set in Crushed Curry and fussy cut them out. I have popped them up and mini dimensional over 2 vellum leaves, 1 Just Jade leaf, 1 crumb cake seed pod and 2 little soft suede sprigs. These were cut out using the Forever Flourishing dies. I have spotlighted them on a Whisper white 2" circle punch backed with a scalloped smokey slate circle from the layering circle dies.

ReplyDeleteGosh Sharon, there are SO many layers on this sweet card! I love Smoky Slate with Crushed Curry and you have made such a gentle card with what I would normally consider a bold colour combination.
