Hello and Welcome !
I’m back again today with our talented group of Global Demonstrators, sharing this months Colour Combo Blog Hop, featuring projects that incorporate Petal Pink, Real Red & Granny Apple Green.
If you have just joined me from Elisabeth’s Blog or as one of my followers, a big warm English welcome to you. My Colour Combo share today features Above The Clouds stamp set.
Getting started
When I create for these types of Blog Hop, I often don’t know where to start so, first of all I start with a base card and a mat layer in each colour, then ‘play’ until I like what I see.
Initially my first thoughts for this combination turned to Christmas, but then I decided to search for a sketch to get me started.
I started by attaching one panel of each colour to a mat layer on a coordinating card base.
The White mat layers were embossed using Scripty 3D Embossing Folder #149634 and attached to base card. I love the detail this creates, it’s so crisp and clean looking.
Next I added another square panel to the centre and then strips were added, one end being snipped to form a banner end.
The hot air balloon embellishment was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White card #106549, using Gray Granite ink pad #147118 and Above the Clouds stamp set #149404 then punched out using the Hot Air Balloon punch #149520.
Here is a close up of the finished embellishment, mounted on Stampin’ Dimensional 3D Foam pads.
To finish I added a knot from Basic Gray 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon #147656 secured with a Mini Glue Dot #103683. A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels #144220 added a bit of ‘bling’.
I hope you have enjoyed my projects today. We would love you to leave a quick comment before hopping to Tricia’s Blog to see what she has to share with you today.

PROJECTS USED
What a beautiful card. I love the layout and how everything was pulled together with the hot air balloon.
Thank you, the layout started me off but I tried with various circles that didn’t just do anything. The Hot Air balloon needed christening and so I tried it and liked how it turned out !
I can’t decide which one I like most. All 3 are perfectly balanced.
Thanks for joining.
