Welcome to Week 3 of the 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are looking at the gorgeous InColor Moody Mauve! 

Moody Mauve, InColor 2023-2025, Stampin' Up!
Now I quite like the colour but I am not so sure it is a favourite of others. So I thought I would go all out and just throw lots of it on my card to help you fall in love of it. Plus make a fancy fold just because!

So for my card I have used the Something Fancy stamp set and also the Something Fancy Dies to cut out the sentiments! I have also used the Peta Park builder punch for my flowers.

In the first photo you may notice that the flowers didn't have the iridescent pearls. I think it just needed a little bit of bling! Now you may be saying this doesn't look like a fancy fold card Sharon! Well no that is because it is an Internal Shadow Box Card!

So on the inside of the card base I have created  a pop up shadow box and behind the basic white card I have added some InColor Moody Mauve Heart DSP.

Then I had to decorate the base that was created so I took the Moody Mauve piece of DSP from Fresh As A Daisy and added that to the inside and the front cover then I got happy punching flower with the Petal Park Builder Punch. The Sentiment in the middle is stamped in Moody Mauve and cut out with the Something Fancy dies and just adhered on the right hand side so that it can move freely

All these gorgeous flowers in the middle of the card are glued together with the multipurpose glue and on the front I have layered them with dimensionals. I also used my bone fold to bend the flower a little. The colours I have used is Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath, Basic White and Mossy Meadow Leaves.

I didn't forget the back of the card. It is a panel to write your message on and I also decorated it with some of the flowers.

Another fabulous card from the fancy fold queen! Love how you have "thrown"everything at it yet allowed the beautiful paper to shine through. I unlike others are a fan of the Moody Mauve.

Tina said...

Wow, what a fantastic card! All the blooms look amazing - I especially like the addition of the pearls on the flowers on the front. Your internal fancy fold is fabulous!

Kate Morgan said...

You certainly threw lots of Moody Mauve at this one, Sharon. How beautiful are these patterned papers?! What a neat fancy fold, I love it! I found by using this colour, I started to like it more and more, maybe that will happen for you. Have you tried it with your favourite colour?

Andrea said...

A beautiful Moody Mauve card Sharon. I love your circle of flowers around the sentiment on the card front and then … your internal shadow box that was beautifully decorated with more flowers. All so gorgeous. xxx

You amaze me with all these fancy folds Sharon, and here is another fantastic example.

Rosa Leyden said...

Sharon so many facets in your card that are fabulous. I love the wreath on the front and the internal fancy fold structure that frames the DSP and inside sentiment.

My beautiful friend, this is such a pretty card. You can never have too many flowers. The pearl centres were the perfect finishing touch to this lovely fun fold card.
