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.
Week 46 – Smoky Slate
Today I feature the Trusty Tools Bundle. I thought this colour was perfect for metal tools, plus I needed a quick card for my FIL’s birthday!
A Crumb Cake card base with a layer dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folders and Crumb Cake ink brushed around the edges for a grungy feel.
The Basic White peg board is added with thin strips of dimensionals. The tools were stamped in Smoky Slate on the same colour card and die cut. A Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker was used to colour the handles/grips of the tools. The sentiment is White heat embossed on Poppy Parade card. Some screws and nuts are added to finish it off, along with some Brushed Metallic Adhesive-backed Dots.
On the inside, a simple white insert with some stamping and a die cut ‘Happy Birthday’ from the Wanted to Say dies.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Soft Sea Foam.
Please hop across to our next participant and enjoy the wonderful inspiration of Rachel Palmieri.

A wonderful card for your special fella. I love your use of Smoky Slate for the tools and your colouring of the handles. Adding the ‘peg board’ on dimensional strips is a lovely touch to give added dimension through. the holes. your pop of Real Red for the sentiment is just perfect. xxx

Great card, Kate! Smoky Slate is an ideal colour for the tools in this awesome bundle. I like how you coloured the handles, and were inspired (as I was) to add a pop of red!

What a great masculine card, Katye, for your FIL. I love the tip on colouring the handles with the marker for a fast card and your combination of neutrals with the pop of red.

Wow those tools look so cool where you have stamped on Smoky Slate card stock. The sentiment really pops on the red. Also love the greeting inside your card Kate.
