Colour Creation Blog Hop week 44 - Sahara Sand Floating Cards

Hi stampers, it's time for week 44 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Sahara Sand, a sandy, beige colour from the Neutrals Colour Family.

For tonight's projects I have used Sahara Sand as the base for two Floating Cards.

The first card uses the Brewed For You Bundle.

I stamped all of the glasses images on Basic White card stock.

The images for the front of the card were cut out with the Brewed For You Dies and for inside the card the images were cut using square Stylish Shapes Dies.

For the second card I used the By The Bay Specialty DSP for the front. The shell on the front is from the Seashells Dies and Embossing Folder. I used the Gilded Leafing Embellishment to add texture and sparkle to the shell. The leaf sprig behind the shell is Distressed Gold Paper embossed and cut with the Seashells Embossing Folder and Dies.

Inside the card I heat embossed a couple of shells in Gold Embossing Powder and stamped the greetings in Sahara Sand.

As the Brewed For You card did not stay closed I mounted the center shell on the second card on a band around the card instead of attaching it to the front of the card. I just realised that neither of these cards has a greeting on the front, oh well, easily added when I have someone to sent them to.

Two very different cards with the same base colour, shows what a versatile neutral Sahara Sand is. I probable don't use this colour as much as I should, Crumb Cake is my usual go to neutral.

All of the products used to make these cards are available though me online Stampin' Up! website.

It's time to head to the next stop on our blog hop. I am looking forward to seeing what my very talented team member Tina Gillespie has to share with us.

If you have any issues with any of the links on this blog hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the wonderful host of our blog hop and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Next we'll be back featuring Shaded Spruce. Only a few weeks left of this year's Catalogue blog hop as the new catalogue starts on the 2nd of May. Very exciting!

See you next week.

Happy stamping,

Rachel
