Stampin' Up! Herringbone Technique Birthday Card with Delightfully Eclectic DSP

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, cajun craze
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 cajun craze, misty moonlight and early espresso from the colour coach to work with. 

For my card today I have used the herringbone technique with cardstock strips in the three colours. I have used delightfully eclectic DSP, made my own cajun craze DSP (distressed glue technique) and I have used embossed strips of early espresso cardstock with the twisted rope 3D embossing folder. I did however flatten the early espresso cardstock after the embossing so it wasn't raised compared to the other papers I used, (I wanted the texture on the paper so it wasn't "plain").
I feel this colour combination and pattern makes a great male card which I always need in my card stash.

What a great card and a really interesting technique to get your Cajun Craze element! I am not sure I have done that one! Love the herringbone design too! Fantastic card Ros!

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

Really eye-catching mix of colours, patterns and textures, Ros. Cajun Craze is a great colour for masculine cards, and this is a very cool card to have in your stash.

[Catherine Proctor]

I love how you've made your own Cajun Craze DSP using the distressed glue technique, Ros, and added the embossed details too. This is such a striking masculine card!

[Theresa Gerrard]

What a great colour combo and way to feature Cajun Craze Ros. Great idea to emboss the Early Espresso card instead of leaving it plain.

[Tina Gillespie]

A very cool card, Ros! The colours are fabulous, and the Cajun Craze DSP you've made looks amazing!

[Andrea Sargent]

Ros, I love your herringbone layering combining your created CC DSP, SU DSP and embossed card-stock. It looks amazing. Great card. xxx

[Rachel Palmieri]

A really pleasing combo of colours and textures, Ros.

You have worked really hard to achieve a great looking male card. You’re spot on, deciding to emboss the Early Expresso, I think it provides more interest than leaving it plain.

[Kate Morgan]

This card is absolutely brilliant for a masculine card. I love the bold design and the herringbone look with those DSP strips. Love the embossed Early Espresso strips too!
