Welcome to week 49 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop – we have been hopping every week for nearly one year now!
Another week and another colour I really haven’t used much before.
Soft Suede belongs in our neutral colour family but if I want to use a shade of brown I either reach for the Early Espresso (if I want a dark brown) or Crumb Cake, which is my absolute favourite neutral! So I have to admit this colour was quite a challenge for me!
I decided to use a retiring favourite of mine: the Oh So Eclectic stamp set with the matching Eclectic Layering dies for my card this week.
My colour combination is a classic one: shades of brown with a touch of white and pale blue.
And here’s what I came up with.
I photographed my card in front of the lovely Mother’s Day flowers my eldest son bought for me. It’s now over a week since Mother’s Day and they are still looking lovely, brightening up my kitchen and putting a smile on my face every time I walk into the room!
Take a closer look at the stunning copper trim…I love how you can pull this trim apart (as I have done here) or use it off the reel as a narrower trim.

We will be back again next week showcasing our final colour for our 2108/2019 Colour Creations blog hop: Tranquil Tide. We hope you can hop along with us then.
Love the soft suede and crumb cake combination, they really go well together. Gorgeous card and a lovely tribute to a great stamp set that will be dearly missed!
Love the pale blue with the two browns – softens the effect beautifully.
Gorgeous colour combination and I just love your bow too. Beautiful card.
Your card is fabulous! I Ove the colour combo, especially the pop that the Pool Party brings to the card. Love it!
Great card Cathy, I love that panel look and the clean space at the top and bottom where you’ve placed the sentiment. Very classy!
Lovely! The three panel background works really well at highlighting your stamped images.Copper works so well with Soft Suede doesn’t it?
