Today, we have week nine 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 Michele Taylor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome!
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, calypso coral.
I have chosen calypso coral, crushed curry and bermuda bay from the colour coach to work from this week.
For my card today it actually came together rather quickly which to be honest, can be unusual. I know some other demo friends where struggling with their calypso Coral creations and as I had left my creating till late thanks to watching the Olympics I was pleased to not struggle. Thanks to the "plenty of patterns decorative masks", "blending brushes" and my chosen colour coach colours it was a breeze to create my card. I blended bermuda bay ink into crushed curry ink and finished off by adding in the calypso coral ink. All of this ink blending was done on basic white cardstock.
I heat embossed the "happy" sentiment in white embossing powder on basic black cardstock and stamped the "birthday" portion in calypso coral ink onto basic white cardstock. Both are raised up with stampin' dimensionals. I finished off the card front with some matte black dots.

Up next we have Catherine Proctor. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

Great card Ros, happy you managed to concentrate on your cutting for long enough to make your card :)

Wow - this turned out awesome, Ros! Those colours look great together, and I love your fussy-cut sentiment.

Love it Ros. Ink blending with masks is one of my most favourite techniques and you have done a brilliant job.

The decorative masks are a great tool that produce stunning results when using blending brushes and you have showcased this nicely Ros especially Calypso Coral with the other two ink colours. Love the repeat pattern inside the card and envelope.

So cool, Ros! I got this pack of masks just for this one, but I'm yet to use it. Your funky card has me itching to get it inky now!

Ros I always forget about the masks - this is a atop tip for when you're struggling with a colour. This card really look amazing - thank you for the inspiration!

Look at you, creating your card in a breeze! Blenking with the masks is a great way to add colour with a dramatic background.

Love your colour combination Ros, and the mask is rather dramatic. Nice to decorate the inside and envelope too.
