Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss & Hello Honey!

Hi

I saw the sketch at Clean & Simple the other week and completely forgot to play along and make a card for it.

As soon as I saw the sketch I knew that I wanted to use the big sentiment greeting from Another Great Year....sadly it is retired but if you wanted to CASE this card, you could use one of the many 'big' greetings from the current catalogue....oversized sentiments are very hot right now....there's a heap to choose from. I have suggested a couple below in the gallery.

I used a couple of new In Colors...Blackberry Bliss for my base card, sentiment and DSP (from the Moonlight Designer Paper Series Stack) and Hello Honey on my ribbon.

I love these two colours together.....they are rich and vibrant!

Hope you like my card!

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #57 - Stampin' Up! Another Great Year

Baked Brown Sugar #2

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

The analogous colour on the Color Coach for Baked Brown Sugar is Soft Suede, so originally I was trawling my brain mojo for woodgrain type card ideas but I just couldn't come up with anything. 

When I saw this cool sketch at Deconstructed Sketches, I thought I would showcase "Another Great Year" on a centre panel with a backdrop of gorgeous DSP.....I hardly ever use my DSP and I thought this was a great way of making it the 'hero' of the card (that's a dorky "Masterchef" expression actually!).

Anyway.....graphic and clean won out over woodgrain and I'm glad. I like the way this turned out....I was going to use more stars in the corner to stay truer to the sketch, but the CAS got the better of me. :)

Hope you like my card!

Cheers

Alison
