Hello and welcome to Week 14 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop from the Art with Heart team.
Our projects this week feature Crushed Curry from the Regals Collection of Stampin' Up! colours.
Instead of using this rich warm yellow as a solid colour, I decided to add it to Basic White with a Blending Brush for a softer look.
Once all the pieces were cut to make up the 3D peony rose from the Peony Dies, I grabbed a Blending Brush, my Crushed Curry ink pad and set to work adding colour. Then it was just a matter of putting them all together to create the rose.
I added colour to the vellum doily and directly to the card front using the blending brush, and I've also stamped the lattice stamp from the coordinating Prized Peony stamp set. Splatters of colour help to fill the white areas. All this was done to the single layer card front. There's no matting, but I did score two diagonal lines for more depth and interest.
Do you love the leaves?
I just couldn't resist using the gorgeous Be Dazzling Sale-a-bration freebie for them! You can get your hands on this AMAZING specialty paper too with a qualifying order (only until 30 September 2021).
I used the gold twine from the Simply Elegant trim pack and some of the Pale Papaya In Colour ribbon for the lovely loopy bows. I cut the satin edge away from the ribbon, and it leaves these beautiful silky threads that really add to the look. Three gilded gems finish off the embellishing. The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede and is from the Pansy Patch stamp set.
Here's what I did on the inside.
I can't believe I waited this long to create the 3D rose. I have used other dies from the set and I did tinker a bit with the rose, but I had never used it on a card before. I'm so glad I finally did!
There'll be a list of the products I used on my card below.

I'm so glad you finally made a 3D rose card Caroline - it is so beautiful! I love yellow roses and you know how much I love the Be Dazzling DSP, so for me your card is perfection!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! Look at you, making a single layer card that looks so lush. Beautiful details, Caroline ... and yes, the leaves are gorgeous! You've made Crushed Curry look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love how you've made this bold, rich colour look so soft and pretty. The peony is fabulous, the perfect centrepiece for your gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteI love the arty feel this card gives me. All the different layers and textures, and the splatters and soft blending, it is beautiful in all its small details.
ReplyDeleteStunning rose Caroline and the blending really softens Crushed Curry resulting in a pretty yellow. The sparkly leaves are a great addition to your card.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, you have made this dark yellow into a beautiful, soft and feminine coloured rose. I love the gorgeous leaves and your blended background is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou've managed to make such a soft and feminine card Caroline from what is quite a bold yellow. The peony is the absolute star of the card.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like cards made with the peony Caroline, but I really like yours. I think it is the way you have added colour to the flower, and then extended that colour above and below. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteCaroline I love how you have adapted the rich Crushed Curry to match your very soft understated style. A stunning card both inside and out.
