Color Fusers Blog Hop – February 2021

Hello and welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for February. This month, we have a super bright color combination, including Gorgeous Grape, Magenta Madness, and Bermuda Bay.

Whether you just started here or arrived from Melissa Kerman’s blog at Melissa’s Crafting Tree House, please be sure to continue on by following the navigation links at the bottom of this post.

When I first saw this color combination, I immediately thought of the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper that includes sheets colored with Bermuda Bay. That paper stack is one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration products. You can earn it for free with a qualifying purchase of $50 through February 28, 2021 (while supplies last.) I used it for both the background, sentiment, and leaves on this card.

Continuing with the “ombre theme,” I created the flower strip with Blending Brushes, using both Gorgeous Grape and Magenta Madness ink, and the Corner Bouquet Cling Stamp Set, which is another $50 Sale-A-Bration product. I think the blended background softens the bright colors and brings a nice elegance to this card.

I chose to first blend the background on Basic White Cardstock and then emboss the flowers in white. However, I think you could achieve similar results with an emboss resist technique.

Behind the 2″ flower strip is a Stitched So Sweetly die-cut. It was a little too large, so I trimmed it down and used the excess to create the top border. (It’s seamed together underneath.)

For the sentiment, I used the Pretty Perennials Stamp Set. I first embossed the “happy” on Vellum and then layered it over a separate sheet of blended cardstock.

As a final touch, I added some unraveled Snail Mail Twine and Pearl Basic Jewels, because pearls make everything better!
