Colour Creations Blog Hop week 50 - Soft Suede Friendly Gnomes

 

Hello stampers, we have come to the end of our Colour Creation blog hops for this Stampin' Up! year. For week 50 we are featuring Soft Suede, a medium brown colour that unfortunately is being discontinued at the end of April.

For tonight's card I have used the Friendly Gnomes Stamp set and the co ordinating dies.

I love sepia look photos and thought that the Soft Suede colour would be perfect for this effect. I inked the stamps first in Versamark ink and then immediately into Soft Suede ink, before stamping on to Shimmery White card stock. I heat Embossed with Clear Emboss Powder to create a water proof outline for the images.

The images were coloured with Soft Suede ink and Water Colour Painters, in different intensities. I also coloured a few extra flowers from the gnomes beard to use as extra embellishments.

The circles were cut using Stylish Shapes Dies as was the piece of Fancy Flora DSP.

The greeting was stamped in Soft Suede ink with the edge of the circle sponged with a sponge dauber.

Unfortunately many of the Stampin' Up! Products used to make this card are retiring and will only be available until sold out or the end of April. The links for all products are listed below.

Now it's time to see what Rachel Palmieri has to share with us.

If you encounter any issues with the links in our hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the fabulous host of our Colour Creations Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting,
