I just love the blend of this colour palette and went in a rather unusual direction by using the colours to blend this tree from the Frosted Forest bundle.
This bundle includes a stamp set, dies and a set of layering stencils which makes the colouring of the images so quick and easy.
The leaves on the tree were blended in all 4 colours, Partial shading through the masks enabled me to create a beautiful autumnal colour. The tree trunk was blended with Pecan Pie and Petal Pink. Mixing colours in this way gives beautiful shading and creates alternate colours.
I blended Pecan Pie ink on the bottom of the Basic White panel to ground the tree while adding some shading against the sentiment. I used a blender pen and the Pecan Pie ink refill to colour in the birds to add as a simple embellishment.
The Country Lace Designer Series Paper adds a subtle background which adds texture while still letting the beauty of the tree stand out. A bow tied from the thick Very Vanill Satin ribbon creates a lovely feature to pull this card together and adds elegance to this card.
This card is great as a masculine card and although I’ve created this for a birthday, I think this would be suitable as a Father’s Day card, retirement card or sympathy card.

Hello and welcome to this week’s Monochromatic inspiration with Garden Green. This would be one of my least used greens however with quite a few of our Designer Series Papers incorporating it, I’ve been using it more often. For my card today, I’m using the Winterly Tree Tops bundle which is part of the Nests of Winter suite in the upcoming September-December Mini Catalogue.
I’ve had this suite for a couple of months now as we got to order it early as part of a demonstrator event. I really love the images in this bundle and the coordinating Designer Series Paper is just beautiful. What really takes this suite over the edge is the trio of coloured Linen Thread in Copper Clay, Garden Green and Night of Navy.
I added some Smoky Slate to my colour palette, with a little bit of Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie to shade in the bird. The berries were coloured with a Garden Green Watercolour Pencil.
The strip of background shapes were die cut from the Nests of Winter and To Market Designer Series Paper and adhered to cardstock embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder. I really like the white space with the pops of green which creates a simple elegance.
To complete the card I added a fussy cut heat embossed sentiment and some Garden Green Linen Thread and embellishments.

What’s your feeling about Pretty Peacock? Well, I’ll share with you my experience with this colour which is part of our Regals collection and one that we are highlighting for our Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week.
Back in 2019, Pretty Peacock came in as one of our 5 new In-Colors for the 2019-2021 range. During that time I had a bit of trouble warming up to this colour and was quite pleased when it’s tenure came to an end! However, it seems like I was in the minority because it returned last year as one of our core colours.
It’s funny how over time one’s tastes and styles can change. I don’t mind Pretty Peacock now and these monochromatic challenges are definitely getting me creating with colours out of my comfort zone.
So for my card today the first element that came together was the 3D flowers.
3D FLOWERS
To create each one, I die cut 3 of the flower shapes from Vellum using the Flowers of Beauty dies. I used the Graceful Greenery Vellum which is in our Online Exclusives range.
Then I coloured each one with Pretty Peacock ink using a Water Painter. Once dry, I went around the edges with a Bone Folder and pushed in the centre with the Bone Folder on a Piercing Mat. This curved the edges up. Then I glued the 3 die cuts together to form the flower.
For added texture I embossed the postage die with one of the Flowers of Beauty dies which formed a beautiful impression on the Cardstock.
Some Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems finish this card off along with a simple sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set.

Hello Friday! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created last week on my Wednesday night FB Live. Over the course of the month I created some Christmas in July themed projects. I love the images from the Garden Meadow bundle and after having it on my desk to create my monochromatic project (check that out here) I thought it would be nice to create a Christmas card with it.
I chose some cooler tones for my wheelbarrow and added some bright Red flowers to bring in the Christmas theme. The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper with the trees adds to the cool, snowy atmosphere I had envisioned.
For all my tips and details on creating this card, make sure you watch the video tutorial.

Hello, Welcome to a Monochromatic Saturday with Gray Granite as the featured colour for our weekly Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop. Just like last week, with Night of Navy, I was leaning towards a masculine card however I felt it may be too heavy and in the end opted for a floral card with the Garden Meadow bundle for a fresh feel to this colour.
I started with the beautiful Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and added some blending with Gray Granite ink over the raised areas. Then I went with smaller elements to fill out my card. The gumboots were stamped onto the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper and I fussy cut them instead of using the coordinating dies as I didn’t want a margin around the edge.
I coloured the watering can in Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends adding some shadow with the Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blend.
Layered die cut circles form the base for these small elements to be arranged around. Using the Choose Happy stamp set, I stamped and fussy cut some flowers from the Nature’s Sweetness DSP.
I die cut some leaves from Gold Foil using the Stippled Roses dies and cut them apart to fit between the flowers. The gold coordinated beautifully with the touches of gold on the flowers.
Until 31st July, every $90 you spend will qualify for a $9 Bonus Days coupon which you can redeem in August.
