Colour Creations #12 - Crumb Cake

Our twelfth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "crumb cake" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen crumb cake, calypso coral and granny apple green from the colour coach to work with today for my creation and I also added in a little petal pink.
Here is my crumb cake card from 2018. 

For my card today, I started with a crumb cake cardstock background that I covered with an old sewing pattern using the faux silk technique to create a textured background. I then added some wild rose flowers in calypso coral and petal pink that I fussy cut so I had no white edges showing. I also fussy cut the leaves I stamped on granny apple green cardstock. The wild rose die cut leaves are from old olive cardstock. 
To add in some more crumb cake, I've made my own faux resin dots. I did this by using a circle punch and the fine tip glue pen. As Stampin' Up! don't sell small punch shapes any more, I suggest having another look at your cut and emboss products. Many of your dies have small circles that work really well to create faux resin dots.

Beautiful use of colour, Ros. Your handmade resin dots are awesome!

[Catherine Proctor]

Wow Ros, I'm going to have a go at making my own faux resin dots and creating a faux silk background after seeing your brilliant card! Thank you for inspiring us all with your crumb cake creation!

[Rachel Palmieri]

That was a stroke of genius to use the dress pattern for the background! I love the way it sets off the flowers beautifully.

[Caroline Manwaring]

Your close-up photo shows the great effect from the Faux Silk technique, Ros. And I love your handmade resin dots - they look great! A lovely card.

[Judy May]

Lovely card, Ros. The dress pattern makes a great Crumb Cake background and the flowers really pop from it.

[Sujatha Harding]

I love the use of the pinks and oranges with Crumb Cake! And what a brilliant idea to create the faux resin dots!! They look gorgeous!!

[Kate Morgan]

Beautiful Ros, I love the Coral with Crumb Cake and how cool does that old sewing pattern look for the background, awesome.

[Tina Gillespie]

LOL, I have a half finished pattern background just like this floating around on my craft desk - you've inspired me to finish it! Your card is wonderful - I especially love the flowers, as the colouring looks so effective.

[Michele Taylor]

I love your faux silk technique using the piece of sewing pattern paper Ros. Crumb Cake and Calypso Coral is not a pairing I have ever used but I really like it.

[Theresa Gerrard]

Oh Ros, your colour combo is so different to everyone else's but it just goes wow! Love it. Who would've thought they would all go so well together.
