Colour Creations Showcase - Crumb Cake
August 19, 2020
Hi there
Tonight, I'm joining the ladies from the Art With Heart Team for this week's Colour Creations Showcase. This week we're featuring Crumb Cake which is from the Neutrals Collection. I have some male birthdays coming up, so I decided to take the opportunity to make a masculine card.
I decided to ink up the Camouflouge background stamp for the first time using Crumb Cake ink. This gives a great tone on tone background without being too overwhelming. As I stamped the panel a little short, I added it to a Night of Navy mat and then onto a Crumb Cake card base.
I have used the A Good Man stamp set for my art panel. I started by stamping the image in Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock and then used Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to create the sky, water and beach sections of the scene. Then to add extra depth I have used elements from the High Tide stamp set over the top. I randomly stamped the mottled image on the ground in stamped off Crumb Cake ink and then masked off everything except the water and stamped the waves in Seaside Spray ink. Finally, I added the small birds in Early Espresso ink at the top. The finished panel was cropped with a Stitched Rectangle die and matted onto Real Red. I added a piece of Night of Navy designer paper under the art panel to ground it and a little tab of Denim Ribbon at the top before popping it up. The greeting is popped up at the bottom and I finished with a Star Designer Element that I coloured with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend marker.
For the inside, I have a Real Red mat for my writing panel (although in hindsight I think it should have been Night of Navy). I added some colour at the bottom with the Ivory and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends and then stamped the mottled image over the top in stamped off Crumb Cake. I masked a small section to create the water and then filled it in with the Light Seaside Spray marker. Finally I stamped the gulls in Early Espresso ink.
This card would work for Father's Day as well, which is coming up soon in Australia. You could add the Father's Day greeting inside.

The camouflage background stamp looks amazing in the background and certainly adds a lot of interest!

Such a wonderful card, Judy! I love how you've added dimension to the sand and sea, and the touches of navy and red are perfect.

A lovely guy card Judy. Your colouring is amazing, and love the way you have combined it with stamping touches. The Night of Navy DSP looks great behind the central panel. Such a great card. xxx

Gorgeous card, Judy. A lovely piece of art. Great colour combo with Crumb Cake, and thanks for the idea of colouring the Star Designer Elements. I love the camouflage background stamp, it looks great with the stamped image and blends well with the overall look to the card.

Doesn't that camo stamp give interest to the background? I really like the Night of Navy with Crumb Cake and the denim trims too.
