I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.
Week 28 – Granny Apple Green
Today I feature a fun fold card using very earthy tones this week. I find Granny Apple Green a very bright tone, so I used it by adding ink blending around the outer edges of the Country Woods designer paper layer. The Country Birdhouse stamps and coordinating dies were used to stamp the birdhouse, and two birds in Black Memento ink and I die cut the elements to embellish the card. The base was dry embossed with my favourite Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.
The sentiment and die cut piece is from the Unbounded Love bundle.
The birdhouse is coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Pecan Pie and the Natural Tones Collection of Deep Combo (SU100), Medium Combo (SU500), Medium Light (SU700) & Light Combo (SU900).
The birds and leaves are also coloured with Blends Markers; Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Soft Sea Foam. The perch and the bow are cut from Early Espresso cardstock. The perch is glued into the centre of the base and the bird attached with a glue dot.
You may be wondering “how do I mail it”? Well, the bottom section folds up so it fits into a C6 envelope!

I really like the way you have blended the Granny Apple Green to make it more subtle on your background and that is a lovely colouring technique of the bird house Kate!

I LOVE this card, Kate! The three standout features, that I find so appealing, are the ink blended onto the DSP, the way you coloured the birdhouse, and the colour you chose for the birds. Just gorgeous! To top it all off, it’s a fabulous fancy fold. So pretty.

Oh my goodness, Kate, I love everything about this project, especially the way you have coloured the Country Lace DSP and used the Stampin’ Blends to create that amazing wood effect on the birdhouse. The colour combination is wonderful and I just love the little white flowers all over the card.
