Week 14 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop - Crushed Curry

Crushed Curry

I thought this week was going to be a big challenge for me, but in the end I came up with two cards!

My first card came to me relatively easy, as I had a sponged piece left over from the swap cards I made for the Alaska Stampin' Up! trip. I had used Crushed Curry along with Flirty Flamingo and Rich Razzleberry in the sponged piece, so I cut that down and mounted it onto a card front sized piece of Berry Burst cardstock.

The stamp set I used was Very Vintage (in the Stampin' Reward section of the Annual Catalogue). I stamped this in Berry Burst around the image and then sponged the edges with Rich Razzleberry. I mounted it onto a Rich Razzleberry card, and used Fresh Fig ribbon and twine to embellish, along with some clear Rhinestones which I had coloured with my Stampin' Blends (I used dark Lovely Lipstick and Dark Rich Razzleberry). My greeting is die cut from the Celebrate You thinlits, in Crushed Curry and Rich Razzleberry. Here's my colour combination for this card, and a close up.

I was going to leave it at that, but then I was wandering through IKEA on Saturday, and came across this rug with a colour combination that really caught my eye, so I thought I would try and recreate a similar combination in a card.

Here's what I came up with, but I also added in some Mint Macaron.

I've used lots of different Framelit sets and was definitely inspired by cards I have seen recently by Connie Collins and Vicky Boucher. Thanks for the inspiration ladies (oh and IKEA). Here's my colour combination and a closer look at the layers.

I am really enjoying these Colour Creations colour challenges that the Art With Heart Team girls are participating in each week. We are having lots of team fun, and definitely being pushed right out of our comfort zone. So lucky to have team members who love to have fun creating and sharing with each other.  Now it's time to head back over to the blog of Catherine Proctor, our wonderful blog hop coordinator for Colour Creations, to see the other ladies who are participating this week.

Chat again tomorrow when our wonderful Christmas catalogue goes live!

Wow, Claire, what vibrant cards you've made. Love the inspiration from Ikea! Thank you for hopping along tonight!

Both gorgeous cards Claire! I love hearing where people get their inspiration from.

Love both cards Claire, colour combos are gorgeous!!

The amazing you card really shines with that razzleberry and tone on tone look. Thank you!

Love the pop of the crushed curry on those gorgeous purple shades. Really gives it warmth.

Both great cards, but the first one is totally eye catching, I just adore the colours and your vintage style.

The pop of crushed curry on your incentive trip swap really makes it pop and stand out. WOW!

Nice and vibrant cards Claire, they just pop out at you.

Two totally different cards Claire, but both beautiful works of art. I must say the layered labels in the 2nd card really caught my eye.
