Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 16 - Crushed Curry

 

Welcome to week 16 of the 2022-23 Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are looking at a golden yellow called Crushed Curry.

Ok so Crushed Curry isn't my favourite of all the colours as I am still traumatised from cutting 1000 crowns out in this colour a few years back but it is a great colour for crowns if you want to use it for that. I know I really need to get over it as it really is a great yellow! My card today I have used a flower that could be like a crown so this is my homage to all those crowns! 😂

So for my card this week I have used a card sketch by Dawn at Dawn Stampin' Thoughts. She has over 200 card sketches and you can use them to give you a place to start off from.

I was asked by my daughter to make a card for a co-worker who was leaving and I was asked to do it in Crushed Curry, she was on placement and hit it off with my daughter so we wanted to give her a card when she left. I used this sketch as a starting point.

So I used 2 of my favourite stamp set for this card. I am really enjoying the addition of the Cup of Tea stamp set and dies to my collection of products! For this card I have a base of Basic cray that has then been layered with Crushed Curry and Basic White!

You may have noticed that I have turned the sketch to be vertical and moved the sentiment circle. I like using the sketch as a starting off point and then seeing how I can fit it with how I need the card to go!

On a piece of the Tea Boutique DSP which just so happens to be Crushed Curry I stamped the words from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crushed Curry all the way down the DSP.

And just because that wasn't enough texture I put it through the Cut & emboss machine in the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. I just love the texture this folder gives.

I must have been trying a different camera angle here not sure it works, but hey, I don't have the card anymore! LOL! The DSP was then adhered to the top section of the card and then another gorgeous piece of the Tea Boutique DPS was backed with Basic Gray and adhered just below. For the flower panel I have Basic Gray and Smokey Slate and I have used the Meadow Dies and cut the flower out in Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry and So Saffron and layered them together with a slight shadow and a bakers twine bow and some black matt dot bling

Then sentiment is taken from the Cup of Tea stamp set and is just perfect. I have stamped that in Basic Gray and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes dies and backed it with a Crushed Curry Scalloped circle from the layering circle dies.

I am really loving working with and stamping on DSP this year and our DSP's are just gorgeous. So I hope you can take some time this week to take care of yourself!
