Hello and welcome to the July Color Fusers Blog Hop! This month, we have a very elegant color combination that includes Basic White, Basic Black, Petal Pink, and Gold. It’s a combination I would never have thought of on my own, but when I used it, I absolutely LOVED it!
Whether you just came from my friend Brenda Nelson’s blog, or you’re starting here, be sure to continue on through the rest of the blog hop for lots of great inspiration by using the navigation buttons at the bottom of this post.
When I first saw this month’s color combination, I immediately thought of the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (DSP) Pack. Many of the papers include black and white prints, and you can earn it for free with Host Benefits (see page 171 of the Annual Catalog.) It’s definitely one of my favorites!!!
I also decided to use the Hand Penned Petals Bundle for my card. I though the delicate art work was just perfect.
I started by using the Layering Circles Dies to cut different sized circles from Pattern Party DSP. I also cut one more from Expressions In Ink Specialty DSP, in order to include a little peek of gold foil.
Next, I embossed the Hand Penned Petals flower in gold on Shimmery White Cardstock and watercolored it with Petal Pink ink.
Since the color combo didn’t include any “leaf” colors, I decided instead to layer gold foil leaf die-cuts over that portion of the card.
Final touches were a fancy bow tied with Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon (which I cut lengthwise) and white baker’s twine, a Gilded Gem, and some Gold Metallic Pearls.
Be sure to continue on through the rest of the Color Fusers Blog Hop to see more projects featuring these beautiful colors. Next up is Nicolle Belisimo!
