Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop.
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, blackberry bliss.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen blackberry bliss, lemon lolly and fresh freesia from the colour coach to work with.
I probably write this time I do the blackberry bliss colour challenge... blackberry bliss is one of my least favourite colours (along with cajun craze) and both of them stayed with the colour refresh we had earlier this year! I rarely ever use this colour and to be honest on when it matches DSP or comes up in one of my cardstock swatches.
I have created a Double Point Card and made my own DSP with Shaving Cream Technique, and also used the Gorgeously Made Dies. I embossed the background lemon lolly cardstock with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and used the Something Fancy Dies for the leaf from Gorgeously Made Dies to rest on. The sentiment is from Inked & Tiled stamp set.

Inside card - I kept the inside quite simple with a strip of shaving cream DSP and another die cut leaf
With decorated envelope - again another strip of shaving cream DSP
Up next we have Theresa Gerrard. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

What a fabulous technique to create a unique DSP where the BB with Lemon Lolly works really well. I love that foliage spray on the die cut label shapes.

The shaving cream technique in these colours gives a real retro vibe, Ros (reminiscent of lava lamps, perhaps?!). Yellow with this dramatic purple works really well.

Beautiful Ros, I would never have put Blackberry Bliss and Lemon Lolly together, but they work so well. I have never done the shaving cream technique. I will have to give this a try, it looks so lovely.

Rops, you've done a fabulous job with a colour you don't like! I love the effect you've achieved with the shaving cream technique.

wow, your shaving cream panels look amazing! So very effective, and layered nicely with the leaf die cut. Wonderful card.

Oh the shaving cream technique is a fabulous idea for this week and features Blackberry Bliss wonderfully. I really love the way the colours have blended together.

A lovely card Ros. I love your panels coloured with the Shaving Cream technique. The touches of Lemon Lolly with the swirls of BB is gorgeous. The leaf spray joining the two triangular segments is cleverly positioned. Love it. x
