Happy New Year! and welcome to the first Color Fusers Blog Hop of the year. This month we are kicking off the year with some cool blues and grey. I have decided to use the exclusive stamp set called Handmade Designs. This can’t be purchased, but it can be added into a Starter Kit from the 7th January to the 28th Feb 2025 during the Sale-a-Bration promotion.
I have stamped the floral image in Smoky Slate randomly over the background and once dry I have then added the Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel with Blending Brushes to create an ombre effect.
Tjhe flower was stamped out on a scrap piece of Basic White and cut out with paper snips [my most used tool in my craft room!] Both the flower and the sentiment have been popped up on the front of the card with some dimensionals for some extra depth.
To complete the card I have added on some of the super sparkly Drusy Dots and a small bow tied with the Balmy Blue Bakers Twine from the trio pack.
I am now sending you on over to wonderful Kim McGillis who I know will have an inspirational card in store for you! You can use the links at the end of everyone’s blog posts to hop around to see all of the colour inspiration – Enjoy!
