Hello and welcome my friends,
My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today, I'll be sharing with you another colour for Colour Creations blog hop and we are now at week 17 with the Art With Heart Team in Australia.
The next colour is Cherry Cobbler, which is part of the Regals Collection and to me it says Christmas but I went in another direction using this colour. Cherry Cobbler comes in Cardstock, Classic Ink Pad, Ink Refill, Embellishments, Designer Series Paper and other Stampin' Up! products.
For my card I decided to use the online exclusive Changing Leaves Bundle (164139) which includes the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder and I made a birthday card. The colours I've used say Christmas and this card could easily be a Christmas card, all you would need to do is change the sentiment.
I used the largest leaf stamp from the Changing Leaves Stamp Set, stamped it onto Crumb Cake Cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink and the second image was stamped in Shaded Spruce. Then I used the coordinating Changing Leaves die and die-cut out the two large leaves.
There are also two different detailed leaves dies which I just love and they add another dimension to your paper craft. I used Crumb Cake Cardstock to die-cut the leaves out and then I added Cherry Cobbler ink using a Blending Brush. I also did the same using Shaded Spruce ink and Crumb Cake Cardstock.
I layered the leaves onto the Crumb Cake die-cut circle element using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, I added Crumb Cake ink around the edges to give it a vintage look and splattered Cherry Cobbler ink using an old Stampin' Write Marker.
Before layering all of the leaves and elements together. I used the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder to dry emboss Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and then rough up the edges using the Paper Snips Scissors blade.
I do love some gingham when comes to these colours, so I used the Large Check Ribbon and layered the sentiment over it with Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used Linen Thread and tied it into a bow. To finishes off the card I added Cherry Cobbler Gems they are from the Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit (163114) and they are so beautiful!

I love that you chose Crumb Cake as the neutral tone on your card, Vicki. With the dramatically dark colours, it gives a beautiful rustic look. The different ways of adding ink to the Crumb Cake pieces are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVicki, what a beautiful layered card using this "much have" bundle. Snap on using the Cherry Cobbler Gems from the Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit! I really love the depth of texture on your stunning card.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Vicki. I love it. A great colour combo whether used for birthday or Christmas. Love your layering and colouring of the detailed die cut leaves. You have inspired me to get this bundle out and give it some love. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dramatic card Vicki. the combination of shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler is quite stunning. Love the rustic look by roughing up the edges as well as the sponging on the open die cut leaves.
