Week 40 – Real Red
Real Red is lovely bright red, but it is not a colour I use a lot of. My first instinct was to stamp and colour a rose, but wanted to try something completely different. I had a sample of this Snail Mail DSP which has Real Red listed as one of the colours. Because I don’t have anything else from this suite, I decided to really focus on the papers. One sheet has lots of larger snails, so I cut one out with my paper snips.
My card base is Real Red with a Basic White layer. The patterned paper is one sheet, but I cut a third off and flipped it over for a bit of contrast and I quite like the sentiments in the speech bubbles. The Ornate Borders die is used to add some interest between the two pieces of DSP.
Once again I used a Square Vellum Doilie to soften the bold patterned paper.
Are you wondering where I got the mushroom? I made it myself using the Ice Cream Builder Punch for the hood (Real Red & Blushing Bride), a 1/8″ circle punch for the dots and cut the white stem by hand!
The ‘happy birthday’ sentiment is stamped in Real Red and I used my electric cutting machine to cut it out or you can use paper snips to fussy cut.

I’m amazed at you using the ice cream for a mushroom, that’s a stroke of genius! I think you’ve done a great job of meeting the challenge.

Wow Kate. Your card is amazing. I love so many elements. The use of the Snail Mail DSP was a great choice and I love the way you have incorporated both sides. Your mushroom is fantastic – so clever. The extra touches of Real Red including the Ornate Boarders edging. So cute. xxx

Such a cute and colourful card Kate that showcases Real Red nicely, especially the versatility of the ice cream builder punch to create the mushroom!
