Today, we have week five of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome!
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, blackberry bliss.
I have chosen blackberry bliss, gorgeous grape and balmy blue from the colour coach to work from this week.
Today for my card I have created a blended moody night sky featuring meadow dies. I used the blending brushes and balmy blue cardstock to create my background. Using balmy blue cardstock means I didn't have to use as much ink to to get the depth of blue I wanted. After creating the blended background I added the die cut meadow dies and some black cotton with a little tag and finished the card off with some matt black dots.
I created this card to be a blank/no sentiment card as I thought it could be used for any occasion. I may add a sentiment on the front when I give it away or just add it on the inside.
With decorated envelope - I had some leftover blended background so I used it to decorate the envelope and inside the card

Sensational colour combo and card Ros. I love your tip re using the Balmy Blue as the base instead of white - just genius!

Ros, your 'moody' card is fantastic both inside and out. The Gorgeous Grape and Balmy Blue work so well with the Blackberry Bliss. Great colour palette.

ooooh, sooo moody! I love it, and what a great idea to use Balmy Blue card as the basis of the background.

A lovely moody card Ros. I really love your blended background. Such a great tip to use Balmy Blue as the base for blending. Very clever. Also, love your use of the Meadows dies in Black. Beautiful, both inside and up. Xxx

Such pretty colours together and I love how gorgeous it is with the balmy blue as the base. Lovely with the black silhouette die cuts.

Such a beautiful card Ros, love your blended background, the colours work so well together and then to cut the Meadow dies in black just perfect. Love it very much!

I love your colour choices for your card Ros, the background is so beautiful against the silhouette images.

Such a beautiful card Ros and to use Balmy Blue was quite effective when we usually tend to use white.
