Welcome to the Colour Creations Instagram Hop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 8 – Basic Gray

My card this week is a standard sized Thick Basic White card base.

I have used the Luxe White Specialty DSP and used blending brushes to add Basic Gray ink in an ombre fashion down the length of the card.

I added some Basic Gray ink directly to an Acrylic Block, then took my Water Painter to add some droplets of water onto the ink and splattered it onto the card for a moody background.

The focal area sits on a Basic White Party Banner die cut which I have added a simple design around the edge with the Black Journalling Pen. This is added on Dimensionals.

The Fern and Flora dies are used to cut various ferns from Basic Gray, Basic White and Basic Black cardstock. These are added to the banner with glue. The sentiment [Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack] is added with Dimensionals.

On the inside I used the negative from a fern die cut to use as a mask to add some ink with Blending Brushes. I also did this on the front corner of the envelope.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join us next week for Berry Burst.

Gold Foil is layered onto the Soft Succulent card base with some of the stunning DSP on the top. The wreath die is cut in Evening Evergreen card. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Succulent ink onto a piece of Basic White card cut using the Everyday Label Punch, then added on dimensionals. Lastly I added a ribbon bow with the Gold 1cm Shimmer Ribbon.
