Welcome to Colour Creations Blog Hop Crumb Cake week!

I needed to do something really simple today or at least something that didn't require a lot construction. So no fancy fold today my friends. I have been in search of medication for my daughter that seems to be not in the country until the end of the year and she can't just stop this one and go cold turkey so I am not exactly sure how that works. Oh the joys of the supply chain!

So for my card to day I wanted texture and I thought I would then stamp a simple flower, heat emboss it and use bleach. So let's see if I managed any of that.

Here is my colour combination, plus a little gold heat emboss added in.

I started with a crumb cake card base and sponged some crumb cake around the edge which I did for the DSP layer and the embossed layers and sentiment. The DSP layer is part of the Earther Elegance DSP

I layered that with a piece of Crumb Cake embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder then the strips are another layer of Crumb cake embossed with the crisscross embossing folder from the Basic 3D embossing folder set of 3 that is an online exclusive.

To create the flowers I have heat embossed in gold onto crumb cake cardstock the flowers from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and then with bleach I have painted over the flowers petals. This brings out a lovely yellow. I then fussy cut them and to compliment the flowers I added to leaf die cuts in Ombre Pretty Peacock from the Earther Elegance DSP and also die cut out the pot and wrapped it with the Natural Wavy Trim. Plus a couple of spiky sticks in Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea foam from the Earther Texture Dies. The Leaves were die cut from the Gorgeously Made Dies as was the sentiment which was heat embossed in gold.

    Stunning card Sharon, I don't usually think of using Gold with Crumb Cake but it looks amazing. Great idea to bleach the flowers too

    Sharon, this bleach effect looks so good on your card! I love the colour you've achieved and your stunning vase of flowers. I hope you get that medication very soon, my friend xx

    Oh, what a pretty yellow you achieved by bleaching the Crumb Cake flowers, Sharon! I love the look of Crumb Cake with Pretty Peacock, and gold ... and the surprise inclusion of Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam really works. Such a nice card!

    Ooh the bleach technique looks amazing on your flower petals and I love that you heat embossed them in gold. Those criss cross embossed panels look like you have 4 wafer biscuits on your card, hehe. Love all your layers too.

    Lots of layers and lots of embossing make for a very lovely card Sharon.

    Such a lovely array of colours to feature Crumb Cake and the bleach technique is very effective.
