Our fifth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "blushing bride" from the subtles collection. I have chosen blushing bride, poppy parade and pumpkin pie from the colour coach to work with today for my creation.
Here is my blushing bride card from 2018.
For my card today, I am sharing one of the cards that was made in my techniques class last month. We used the tissue paper watercolour technique for the wild rose flowers and used my chosen colours from the colour coach. I think the colours blended beautifully together don't you? Who would have thought blushing bride, poppy parade and pumpkin pie would blend so well?
Granny apple green and garden green are the two colours used for the leaves. In case you can't tell, I used old sewing patterns for my tissue paper but I selectively stamped so the majority of the wording/lines wouldn't be the focus of my image.
I also popped the centre of the flowers up for added visual interest. I stamped the whisper white background piece with the birch background stamp in crumb cake so it wasn't completely plain background.
I have gone with a blank/no sentiment on the outside or inside of the card so it is perfect for any occasion (and I didn't want to cover up any of the pretty flowers on the card front!)

What a pretty card Ros. The tissue paper technique is not one I've used before but you have persuaded me to give it a go.Love how you've opted to have no sentiment. Makes the card so versatile

Love the birch background with those bright roses. What an amazing colour combination!

Beautiful, Ros. I certainly wouldn't have thought those three colours would blend so well together ... but what a result!

Such a fun technique, Ros! I have an old pattern tucked away somewhere for this very purpose - I really should drag it out! Fabulous card, and I agree that the colours blend nicely.

Ros, I love the use of the three unlikely colours - they really have combined so well! Very innovative!

Love the card Ros - and yes - I would not have thought those 3 colours would blend so well.

Beautiful Ros, I have never tried that technique I will have to give it go. It really makes for a lovely effect.

The tissue paper w/c technique is great, Ros. It's one technique I really look forward to trying. I certainly would not have guessed that you used sewing patterns - how clever and great up-cycling!
A great card.

Ros, the texture you have been able to achieve with this gorgeous technique is just lovely. Such a very different colour scheme but it works.

Beautiful texture - I love the softness of real tissue paper added to the front of a card - lovely!
