Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 13 - Cherry Cobbler

 

Welcome to week 13 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop, this week we are going to be using Cherry Cobbler as our colour in the spotlight! I have for you a couple of projects. I have a couple of very quick scrapbook pages and a card today.

I recently did some decorating for a wedding and helped with some of the activities for the guest. One of the activities that was requested was that everyone take a polaroid of themselves and add it to a scrapbook and write a message to the bride and groom. The book was supplied and I have been given a couple of photos from the photographer to scrap to add to it. So I have taken a couple of those for today that don't have the happy couple in them as I don't have their permission to put their faces on my blog and I have a card to go with the colour scheme as well.

For the card today I have used a Gray Granite card base and I have used our gorgeous Cottage Rose stamp set and stamped the leaves in Gray Granite on the base. I have used the 2 largest stitched rectangle dies for the layers one in Cherry Cobbler and then the focal point layer in Basic White.

On the Basic White layer I have stamped the large Cottage Rose stamp in Gray Granite but I think I would stamp it a bit darker  next time as the Cherry Cobbler Blends are quite dark against the gray granite ink. After I coloured the rose with Light and Dark Cherry cobbler and Light Sweet Sorbet, Dark So Saffron and Light and Dark old Olive I put the panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.

For the sentiment overlaying stamped in memento black ink, I used the Blessings of home stamp set and then I punched it out with the Lasting Label Punch. I have popped it up on some dimensionals with some white crickle seam binding underneath and I have added some bling with the basic pearls that I have coloured with the dark cherry cobbler stampin' blend.

For the first scrapbook page I have a photo of the  welcome sign for the guests to the wedding. As you can see the photo album is black I have backed the photo in a layer of retired DSP to correspond with welcome sign and then with a layer of Basic Grey then the photo is layered on top of the gorgeous Silver and Gold DSP from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I have then stamped the flowers from the Cottage rose and the leaf and coloured them again with the stampin' blends like I did for the card and added a little silver metallic edge cotton ribbon.

I couldn't go past scrapping the bouquet so I stamped and cut out some more of the gorgeous Cottage Rose and coloured them again with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends, I have used all the dies on this page from the Cottage Flower dies. I used them to cut out all the coloured flowers and I have cut out the other flower dies in cherry cobbler card and the leaves in old olive to add some more dimension.

Here is a closer look at the layering of flowers and a little bit of the silver metallic edge ribbon. I have again layered with the gold and silver DSP from the Sale-A-Bration brochure and the photo of the bouquet has a layer of gray granite, cherry cobbler and black before adding it to the page.
