Colour Creations #21 - Highland Heather

Our twenty first colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "highland heather" from the subtles collection. I have chosen highland heather, melon mambo and pumpkin pie from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 


For my card today I begun typing Happy birthday! on my computer filling the screen and printing it onto whisper white cardstock (Helvetica font, size 11, if you want all the details 😀) and I then used old plastic gift cards/store loyalty cards and dots of classic stampin' ink refills (on clear blocks) and swiped my three ink colours across the printed cardstock. I will mentioned that I have a laser printer, I am not sure if the ink will run/smudge if you have an inkjet printer.  
I die cut the letters to spell Happy Birthday in both basic black and silver foil to create a shadow effect when layered together and I finished off the card front with a matt of silver foil on highland heather card and with faux resin dots.

Just wow Ros - you are so creative and I love your handmade DSP. Thank you for inspiring us all with your Highland Heather card.

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

Wow - this is awesome! So creative, as always, Ros. I love the application of colour, over the typed sentiments, on the front, and the die-cut letters look great in silver and black. The carrying over of the theme, to the inside of the card, is very cool.

[Kathryn Ruddick]

You are SO clever Ros!! I love that you incorporated printing to make a unique background that works SO well for this card.
And I also love that you have used "tools" that didn't cost you anything - old CC cards.

[Judy May]

This is such a funky card, Ros. Great colour combo that I would never have thought to use. Love the inside embellishment, too.

[Kate Morgan]

Wow, that is such a striking card, Ros, love your bright colours and the shadowed letters look awesome.

[Caroline Manwaring]

I always look forward to seeing what interesting and inspiring technique cards you share Ros, and this card is no exception. It's so creative, and I love the look of the foil and black lettering. This is really a great looking card. Love it!
