Colour Creations 2020 #4 - Blackberry Bliss

Our fourth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "Blackberry Bliss" from the regals collection. I have chosen blackberry bliss, gorgeous grape and balmy blue from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 
Here is my blackberry bliss card from 2018. 

I personally find blackberry bliss a hard colour to work with (actually many of the regal colours!) and it is not a colour I use often!  In fact, my blackberry inkpad is still stiff and "new" to open which shows how little i actually use it. That is the best thing about these colour creations blog hops, it is challenging us to use colours we often shy away from.

Onto, todays card! I again used the best plaid builder die like I did last week but this week I made a thank you card. I do however think my colour combination would make a great masculine card (minus the bling!) as a shirt with the best plaid builder die or something like that. 
I have popped my plaid panel up on dimensions on my card base along with my sentiment. I used blackberry bliss and gorgeous grape stampin' write markers and the direct to rubber technique to colour my sentiment along with the massive thanks stamp set. 


Inside card - More of the massive thanks stamp. I think it is a very versatile thank you stamp set. I own other thank you stamp sets but I can see this particular set getting a lot of use in my cards and at classes.

Wow Ros, you sure are making the most of those plaid dies and sharing amazing inspiration for using them. They hadn't even crossed my mind to purchase, but they are great!

Even with the bling, it's a great masculine card Ros. Thanks for sharing your creativity - you always come up with combinations I would never have thought of!

Now that is a great choice of colours, Ros,for the plaid. I'll have a metre in patchwork fabric please!I think the blue in particular really lifts the BB, which isn't a fave of mine either,ha ha!
