Brutus Monroe Blog Hop - Color Crush
Hello crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today is another Wednesday Brutus Monroe blog hop, and our assignment was to use this gorgeous picture as color inspiration for a project!
My project today was one of those cards that did NOT turn out how I originally intended! Over the course of a couple days it morphed into a tall, odd-dimension creation. I started out by using the stencil of the month on an Alabaster cardstock panel, and blending Sunflower and Lime glitter glazes in an ombre. Then I decided I wanted the pink and orange tones instead, so I made another separate panel with Raspberry, Pumpkin, Tangerine and Sunflower. I couldn't decide which one I wanted to use, and ended up attaching them so that the color blending went all the way from pink to green! I trimmed down the panels a little bit and attached them together where the yellow areas connected. To cover the line where they connect, I glued a diagonal strip of Alabaster cardstock. I heat embossed the rose from the Happy Rose stamp set with Alabaster embossing powder, and cut the leafy areas to tuck under the diagonal cardstock strip.
I die cut the "Hello" sentiment from Alabaster cardstock 4 times and layered them with glue, and glued them across the diagonal strip. I finished the card off by popping it up on an Alabaster card base with foam tape.
Have you ever made a card that had really strange dimensions? Despite the weird size, I like how the blended colors came out on this one!
