Hello and welcome everyone.
It's Week 20 of the Colour Creations Showcase from the Art With Heart team.
Tonight's featured colour is Gray Granite.
Gray Granite is from the Neutrals Collection of Stampin' Up! colours.
Here's my project for tonight's showcase.
When this type of card is needed, I always like to work with very soft and subtle colours.
The beautiful patterns from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper were the perfect choice for me, and Gray Granite features in the colour palette.
I very rarely use anything other than a Whisper White card base when I make a card, but I went outside of my comfort zone this time and I think I'll try it more often.
I chose a geometric pattern for the first layer and decided on this floral design for the matted top layer. I wrapped a length of the gorgeous Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon around the top panel, finishing with a bow. This ribbon is just so beautiful and it has a lovely subtle, silver sparkle to it. I've adhered the top panel with dimensionals.
I stamped one of the sentiments from the Prized Peony stamp set in Gray Granite. Using two different dies from the Stitched So Sweetly die set, I cut out the sentiment and the vellum label shape behind it. The vellum adds another layer of softness to the look of the card.
Inside, the Whisper White writing panel is matted with the same geometric pattern as I used on the card front, and a stitched strip of the floral design. I just can't stop using this long stitched rectangle die from the All Dressed Up die set - I love it!
The Designer Series Paper, sentiment and ribbon are part of the Peony Garden Suite from the Annual Catalogue.
For the month of October, Stampin' Up! have a SALE on select DSP's.
