No today's blog has not moved into fashion the title is based on the die name and the colour of the card! I know this is an unusual combination of colours but somehow it works, to me at least.
I built up stripes of the Tan, Milk and Mink with the central panel embossed with the honeycomb heaven A4 embossing folder and strips of the thin satin ribbon.
I then cut the Lucy Frames and Tags die set in mink backed with milk. I mounted this over a section cut with the centre dies of the Lucy set in Tan and backed with mink. I placed this at the top off the 'Stripes' and added a Chrysanthemum made with pearls of all the three colours used in the main card. I added a messy bow of the cream thin ribbon and matching gold satin ribbon and a couple of stick pins.
Enjoy...
Morning John, this is a gorgeous card and i love the colours and the font in the sentiment.

That's a beautiful card John. I like those colours and sometimes it's very useful to be able to do something using a neutral palate.

ReplyDeleteHi John, Apologies for my absence, my I pad had decided that it will only work when it feels like, very annoying. I don't get on with technology and resisted my family when they insisted I had an I pad, saying I didn't need one. Now look at me getting cross because the silly gadget doesn't work. That's old age for you. However your card today is lovely John, not too sure on the colours but it works. Love Rosemarie X
ReplyDeleteA very striking card John, great work x x x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card John, that's one thing I love about your blog posts, showing us colours we would never think of putting together, you take us out of the norm and into the unthinkable. Hope you have a very relaxing day xxx
ReplyDeleteHello John,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! I love those colours and I love your name for the card!! It made me smile! The flower - that beautiful Chrysanthemum has arrived here too!
Thanks John,
Love Myra
Great card John and those colours together are gorgeous.

Unusual colour combination at ion John but it works!! Love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteHi John, Yes the colour is a winner, nice combo , pretty card. Must try my chrysanthemum die.
ReplyDeleteLoving the colour combination, not too sure about the design. I will say it's nice but just a bit too fussy for me.
ReplyDeleteLike the name for the card colour.

John I say you do a card with the new paper cut die in which you did a fold card in three using the flower frame that has been taken off so could you do that card again and post to your site with directions agin on fold size
ReplyDeleteAfternoon John, sorry I am late today, been to opticians with hubby and trying to clear some space in my craft room - you wouldn't like to come round and do it for me would you, you made a real good job of your one. hehe cheeky aren't I.
ReplyDeleteThe colours you have used on this card certainly do work, and the creation is fabulous, love it, as always.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
