Creation Station Blog Hop - Monochromatic

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. This is the latest hop with the design team at Creation Station, if you have come from Sara Nell Langland or you may have started with me. Please make sure you hop around and see everyone's amazing projects. I'll pop a link at the end of my blog.

The design team at Creation Station are presenting their projects with the theme "Monochromatic" this was a fun challenge to do. I created my project for this month's theme using shades of brown tones and vanilla with a variety of different Stampin' Up! products. 

Creating a monochromatic card can really help to show off the same colour when using it in different ways. Stampin' Up! have lots of different products to use such as paper, inks, embellishments and ribbons. I've used Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla for my colours and turned it into a vintage card.

I used the flowers from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and created three flowers by applying Pecan Pie ink with a Blending Brush onto Very Vanilla Cardstock then I fussy cut out the flowers. Instead of using the leaves from the masks I used one of the leaves dies from the Gorgeously Made Dies, die-cut out in Very Vanilla Cardstock and Champagne sparkle paper from the More Dazzle Specialty Paper.

To create the background panel, I used Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the unique text image in Crumb Cake ink. For the next panel in Crumb Cake Cardstock, I ran it through the die cutting machine with the new Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and applied Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso ink onto the embossed cardstock with the Blending Brush. For some interest I tore along the edge of the Crumb Cake cardstock to expose the stamped Very Vanilla Cardstock.

Other added layers to the card are Crumb Cake wide strip cardstock coloured in using Pecan Pie ink with the Blending Brush and then I tore the edges. For extra layers I added Burlap Ribbon, Very Vanilla Bakers Twine and More Dazzle Specialty Paper. To finish off the card I placed a few Sparkle Gems in Champagne.
