Welcome to this week's Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are championing Bubble Bath. A gorgeous soft Pink.
Last week if you were here I hinted at the colour and showed you a Baby Card both in Boho Blue and in Bubble Bath so this week I thought I had better do a different card for you.

I have chosen a very simple colour palette for my card today and this card came about after I had tried a different fancy fold and although I had tried to follow directions from 2 different people I just couldn't stick the landing! So I need a bit more practice on that one before I can bring you the gold medal performance of that particular fancy fold. (Yes I have been watching the Olympics)

My fold is called an Interlocking Fancy Fold. This is where the left front panel slides in under the right front panel. I had to get the Inspiring Snapdragons Bundle for my daughter as her boyfriend gave her snapdragons for their first date!

For my card today I have used a Bubble Bath Card base and have created a "Z" fold on each end. On the 2 parts of the "Z" fold  I have stamped the Snapdragon flower in Bubble Bath. stamped the  Snapdragon to decorate.

For the 2 front focal point panels I have layered the panels on Smoky Slate and a layer of Lost Lagoon DSP from the Frames and Flowers Specialty Pack ( I didn't want to waste anything from my failed landing  attempt)

On the Basic White layer I have stamped in Bubble Bath the Snapdragons in different sizes. I then die cut the Snapdragons out in Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve to layer over the top of the stamped images. I thought the panel was a little stark so I stamped the dotted stamp in Soft Sea Foam while I laid a piece of copy paper over the snapdragons so they didn't get lots of little dots on them.

Across the 2 panels I have fussy cut the sentiment after stamping in Smoky Slate on Basic white from the Inspiring Snapdragon stamp set. Under the sentiment I have added I have used the Bough Punch and cut some more of the Lost Lagoon DSP and some Crumb cake card stock and the Iridescent Trim I have cut in half and added with a glue dot.

To make the panels interlocking : The left panel is adhered straight to the card base and the  right panel is placed on dimensionals so that the left panel can slide under it and lock in place.

On the inside of the card when open there is a place for you to write your message to the recipient and I have also stamped a Snapdragon in Bubble Bath.

I do hope you like my card today, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

The snapdragons look lovely in Bubble Bath, Sharon - especially the die-cut blooms. Gorgeous. Very clever fancy fold, that was a success after your challenge! I admire your perseverance!

A beautiful interlocking card Sharon. Love your bubble bath snapdragons - beautiful layering. The interlocking card is clever - love it. Looking forward to seeing the other fold, once you have perfected it. xxx

Your Interlocking Fancy Fold is very fancy Sharon and I love learning the story of why your purchased the snapdragon bundle too. I have every confidence in your ability to master the other fold and look forward to seeing the final card.

I haven’t seen this interlocking fancy fold and love what you have done in showcasing the snapdragons. The die cut flowers look lovely.

Hee, hee I love your Olympics reference, definitely a gold medal winning card in my opinion. Another unique fancy fold that I have not seen before

Rachel Palmieri said...

Another amazing fold and first time I’ve seen the snapdragons used outside of the catalogue. Such a pretty result with the contrasting colours and layering.

Kate Morgan said...

I think we are all with you watching the Olympics at the moment. I haven't seen any projects with the Snapdragon Bundle which surprised me, but I love what you have created in this fancy interlocking card. The stamping and the die cut pieces are beautiful in Bubble Bath.
