Color Combo Blog Hop - Humming Along

Welcome to the January Color Combo Blog Hop.  This month we have been challenged to design with Gorgeous Grape, Cajun Craze, and Coastal Cabana.  Demonstrators from all around the globe are participating to share their projects featuring these three color.  We hope to inspire you to join our challenge and use these colors in your projects at home.

This was my first time to ink up my new Humming Along stamp set.  I was really happy with my choice as I played with the colors.

My first draft was all ink and I wasn't so happy with it.  Then I remembered to use clear Embossing Powder with the Cajun Craze to get a glossy definition on my flower image. This approach made me delighted with my Color Combo design! 

 I used sponge daubers and Stampin' Write Markers to color in the floral image.  Here you can see how glossy the embossing is with the shading on the flower petals.

One of my favorite tricks with the Everyday Label punch is to create a simple frame with a contrasting or complementing card stock layer.  For this card I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla card stock.  Then I punched it with the Everyday Label punch. Next I punched out a blank Cajun Craze card stock label. I snipped it vertically down the center and adhered it on the backside so that it overhangs and peeks out of each end of the Very Vanilla label.  Have you ever used this layering trick?

I hope you will try this Color Combo on your own project!

Color Combo Blog Hop - Labels to Love

Hello friends! I am so honored to join the "Colour Combo Blog Hop" team today.  This is my first month to create with them.  I love a colour challenge and I think you will enjoy it too!  This team features Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world so, as needed, be sure to use your translate option in your browser.  Each blogger is required to use these colors for our stamping projects: Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, and Gray Granite.

I thought Labels to Love would be a great selection to use the color challenge for a  festive New Year's card design.   I used our Stampin' Write Markers to color the Labels to Love sentiment stamp in Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry.

The Swirls and Curls embossing folder reminds me of festive confetti streamers - perfect for a New Years theme!  I embellished with loops of the elegant Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon and our Basic Rhinestone Jewels that I coloured with the Rich Razzleberry Dark Stampin' Blends Marker.  Here is my ribbon trick: adhere SNAIL to the card stock label and press the ribbon onto the SNAIL.  Then adhere Dimensionals on the label beside the ribbon but not on the ribbon as it will not have a strong bond onto the velvet fiber surface.  I hope you have enjoyed my card design, my product details are at the end of this post.

I am curious what you would make with this colour challenge combo - let me know in the comments!
