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.
