Welcome to Gorgeous Grape week of Colour Creations Blog Hop of 2024-25
Purples and Burgundies seem to be a favourite colour in my house. Gorgeous Grape is probably my son's favourite. Saying that however I didn't make a male card, HEHE! I finally got out the Layers of Beauty Bundle. You are probably saying FINALLY! I am saying yes I am late to the party! I have had this gorgeous bundle sitting there waiting for me to play with it so I did today!As you can see I didn't create a fancy fold for you but I did follow a similar layout to a card that I had created a couple of years ago for Christmas. Well actually back in 2019 I think I lost a couple of years there as we all have. If you want to check out that card you can find it here:So how did I create this card? Well I am glad you asked! Let's look at the card base to start with.
For the first part of the card I took Thick Basic White for the base and then embossed a piece of Basic White with the Birch Wood Embossing folder.
Layering on the base of the card there is a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP and Country Woods DSP.
Layered on top of this I have a piece of Gorgeous Grape and a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP which is full of Gorgeous Grape!Over the top of the background that I had created I used the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut out some circles 2 in the Perennial Lavender DSP and one in Basic White.
Once I had finished all the layers I then took out the Layers of Beauty stamp and with Memento Black ink stamped over the the top.From here I used the Layer of Beauty Dies to cut out the who image and then the smaller die to cut out the one rose before doing a little bit of fussy cutting to cut the rest of the image up to put it on the card.To finish off the card I have stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape and fussy cut it up and popped it up on dimensionals and of course you have to have bling so I have coloured some Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blend as there we don't have a Gorgeous Grape Blend.
If you have any questions about my card today please do not hesitate to contact me.

I hoped you would combine Blackberry Bliss with Gorgeous Grape, Sharon and you haven't let me down! This is a stunning card even though it isn't a fancy fold - let's call it a fancy layer instead!
I wouldn't have thought to colour these flowers in dark purple, but how beautifully dramatic do they look?! I especially like that you stamped the outlines in black, Sharon. Lovely creation.
Wow, Sharon - what a gorgeous floral focal piece. I love the depth of colour of the flowers obtained from your colour combo. Your background layering is delightful too - a wonderful combination of DSPs. So gorgeous. xxx
What a lovely wow card with all those layers. The flowers have turned out so well in such dark colours.
Oh my goodness, all those varied layers make the perfect background for your ever so pretty flowers. A great mix of colours and I wasn't surprised to see Blackberry Bliss make an appearance!!
