Our forty seventh colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "smoky slate" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen smoky slate, rich razzleberry and bermuda bay from the colour coach to work with today for my creation.
For this weeks colour creations blog hop, I had to use the suit and tie dies for a masculine no sentiment/blank card. I thought by leaving it as a blank card, it could be used for many occasions. A birthday, retirement, fathers day or even a graduation etc.
My card today is pretty basic, I added dots to the tie to bring in the rich razzleberry colour and I added fine tip glue pen to my buttons on the suit jacket to make them pop a little bit more.
I used a the off cut from die cutting the tie to act as a stencil for decorating the envelope (and used the blending brushes to colour in the tie "stencil")

Such an awesome, vivid, tie against the classic Smoky Slate jacket - I love it! I really like the shiny buttons too. Great card, Ros.

Love your masculine card and such clever use of the tie die cut to create the brushed tie. You make those dies so tempting to add to my stash. Bingo on the colour combination!

Such a great card Ros. I love the colourful tie against the gray and also how you added shading to the edges creating depth to the jacket and tie.

Oh wow, I so love your card Ros. I love the colourful tie against the white "shirt" and the Smoky Slate jacket - perfect. The extra touches of sponging the edges and the fine tip glue on the buttons are brilliant. xxx

Oh, this is so cool! The dotty tie is spectacular, and I love how you've carried it over to the inside of your card.
