Color Fusers-February 2021

/

Hello friends! Welcome to another Color Fusers Blog Hop! I am so excited to be hoping with this talented group of ladies for 2021, especially with these color combos forcing me out of my comfort zone!

The Color Challenge for February includes Gorgeous Grape, Magenta Madness, and Bermuda Bay—three very very bright colors! I was a little intimidated by this color combo!

Because these are such bold vibrant colors I new that I needed to begin on a pretty neutral base so I went with Basic White card stock for my base. I had some strips of these colors in my scrap bin which gave me an idea for incorporating them into the background.

The strips of card stock are actually all different random widths which I think helped achieved a whimsical background!

I decided to use the Pretty Perennials Bundle on this card project as I haven’t had much of an opportunity to stamp with it quite yet. I stamped some of the images from the stamp set on the Magenta Madness and Gorgeous Grape strips on the coordinating ink color.

I really wanted the colors to be the focal point of this card so I used Basic White, Vellum and the new Pearlescent Specialty Paper to embellish the card with flowers and leaves from the Perennial Petals Dies.

 

The flower on the top right is on a Pearlescent base with Basic White layer on top and Opal Round.

The main flower is on a Basic White base with a Pearlescent layer on top and a large Opal Round in the center.

I cut apart the large vellum leaf/sprig to add in few more sprigs.

The word ‘Happy’ is stamped in White Craft Ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder on Bermuda Bay card stock. You will need to hand trim this word as the die set does not include a die to cut it out.

“Sending Lots of Happy” is stamped on another strip of Magenta Madness in the coordinating ink. Both of the sentiments are popped up with Dimensionals.

I hope you are inspired to create a fun project using this color combo yourself!
