Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on December 13, 2020December 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where you will find lots of inspiration using this month’s colours which are Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite & Real Red. Don’t you think this is a really unusual colour combo? If you are starting the hop with me or have joined from Amanda Farlinger’s blog, you are very welcome.

To recreate the colour combo card, you will need:

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 3⅝” by 1⅛”
Whisper White card – 3⅝” by 1”

Taking one of the Whisper White panels and some Post It Notes I masked off a 1” strip about ⅔ up from the bottom.

I decided to use the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card and started by inking up the largest leafy image with Gray Granite ink. The image was stamped above and below the masked off strip.

Next, I added the round leafed image using the Real Red ink. I filled in the gaps using the 2 smaller leafy images in Cinnamon Cider ink. I love that we have the same image going in different directions.

To pull the whole thing together I added a scattering of dots from the same stamp set using Gray Granite ink. The Post It Notes were then removed and the whole layer was added to the Real Red layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Gray Granite card base using the same glue.

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set was stamped on the strip of Whisper White in Real Red ink. I decided it looked unfinished so stamped again on either side of the sentiment using the Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider inks. I liked that much better.

The sentiment strip was then added to the Real Red strip using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the card front on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love these colours together, don’t you?

Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Posted on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3^rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink. I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.

The finished piece was added to the Shaded Spruce panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I think this is so pretty but if I am honest doesn’t look all that bleak…….. What do you think?
