I recently held my NEW Catalog Open House and needed to create sample cards with the “NEW In Colors”. The first card I created, utilized all five of the “NEW In Colors”. After that first card, I began working with different color combinations. These cards mainly use the NEW In Colors with Secret Sea being the common theme. As mentioned in my previous post, HERE, I used the “More Messages” stamp and die to cut out numerous greetings.
My card base is Basic White with a piece of the NEW In Color, Darling Duckling DSP layered on top. I then placed a strip of Secret Sea card stock “embossed” with the “Glass and Gardens Embossing Folder”. The flower was cut out from the DSP (before layering) with the “Pretty Florals Dies”. I added the outline detail for the flower in Darling Duckling card stock to the DSP flower. Then, I mounted the flower onto a stitched circle die cut from the “Stylish Shapes Dies”. I added another circle layer in Darling Duckling before adhering to a die cut from “Spotlight On Nature Dies”. This large circle with an eyelet type border is so pretty!
To complete my card, I added a double twine bow in Navy was added towards the bottom edge of the flower with a “Glue Dot”. Very difficult to capture in a photo, but the flower center has “Wink of Stella” for a subtle shimmer. I added the greeting in Secret Sea to the card front with “Dimensionals”. A pretty easy card with simple layering. Personally, I’ve always liked Navy and Yellow together. The Secret Sea color is darker than Night of Navy, but softer than Basic Black. I will mention however, that to me, Darling Duckling has a slight green under tone, so it is not a bright as Daffodil Delight.
