Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop.
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Balmy Blue.
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 Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green & Flirty Flamgino from the colour coach to work with.
For my card today, I turned to the annual catalogue for inspiration and CASED my card from there. I have just received the wildflower designs bundle as I ordered it with the 10% off stamps and die bundle promotion in June. I couldn't resist adding a new bundle with an added discount on top of the usual 10% saving.
First up, you will see the card I have CASED before you see my version. The cards shown below is from the 2024 - 2024 annual catalogue, page 40 ©2024 Stampin' Up!®.
I'm CASING the Moody Mauve DSP card on the right hand side. Instead of using the Wildly Flowering DSP, I created my own DSP using the Wildflower Designs stamp set and Balmy Blue cardstock, colouring in each stamped flower with dark Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends. I also changed up the sentiment as I hadn't used the Just Because sentiment from Softly Said and I wanted to give it a go.
I stamped all the flowers in memento ink and coloured them in with Stampin' Blends and they are all adhered behind the sentiment I popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added in the soft black splatters as I had an oops on my card and I wanted to hide the black ink splat in the bottom right hand corner a little more. I finished off the card with rhinestone basic jewels.
I left the of the card quite plain as it is a just because card and I felt that is what was needed.
I also tried to decorate the envelope to match the theme of the card.

How good does Calypso Coral look with Balmy Blue?! I'm surprised! LOVE your card, Ros, and the way you dealt with your "oops". The splatters look fab. I really love the additional detail on the envelope, and inside of the card, to continue the theme. Beautifully done.

You've covered your 'oops' moment so well using the soft black splatters, Ros! I love this CASE and the colour combination you chose, in fact I think it looks even better than the card you CASED.

Great card Ros, your handmade DSP looks wonderful and I love how you continued the design to the inside of your card.

Such a great CASE of the card Ros and I can't even tell there was an oops!Love how you have carried the same theme over to the inside of the card and the envelope.

Ros I love the row of flowers on your card and the stamped die cut shapes arranged as you have done. Fabulous card!

This is gorgeous, Ros. You sure saved your oops moment well with that soft splattering. Love the additional layer of Calypso Coral, it really brightens the design!
