Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.
Week 23 – Gorgeous Grape
Today’s card heavily features the beautiful Brushed Metallic cardstock. The background layer is dry embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. The next layer is Gorgeous Grape cut with the square from the Stylish Shapes dies. The next layer is the Bushed Metallic again in a slightly smaller square die.
On top of this is a piece of Highland Heather cardstock, embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D folder and then cut out using a circle die. I used a Sponge Dauber with Gorgeous Grape ink, to add colour around the edges. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added and heat set. The coordinating dies cut it out before adding it with Dimensionals!
Between the layers, I’ve added some gold Simply Elegant Trim and a piece of Natural Woven Ribbon which was coloured with my Dark Highland Heather Blends Marker.
On the inside, a simple Basic White insert with a small strip of the Embossed Brushed Metallic cardstock added across the bottom.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next week for inspiration using Granny Apple Green.

All the layers and embossed details provide a beautiful richness to your card, Kate. Don’t the leaves look amazing, embossed on the metallic card?! I like how you “sandwiched” the ribbon between die-cut squares.
