Welcome to week twenty eight of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we are showcasing Grey Granite, a brownish grey that is part of the neutrals family. Gray Granite is a wonderful colour for masculine cards or nature scenes and today I’ve used it to create a birthday card for my brother-in-law.
Gray Granite goes really well with both silver and gold, so it was the ideal colour to us as a card base for a special ‘twist and pop’ 60th birthday card.
Here’s what the card looks like inside when it is opened up.
Here’s a short video to show how it pops up to reveal the lovely surprise inside.
The four pop-up panels have been stamped in Gray Granite with images and sentiments from the the Year to Celebrate Stamp Set.
Gold and silver foil embellishments have been die cut using the Merries Tree dies.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan – I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!
If at any time you find a broken link, you can find the complete list of all participants below.
Catherine Proctor – you are here!
Next Wednesday, 15th November, we’ll be back showcasing Highland Heather or you can join us on Monday night for some Christmas inspiration.
I hope you can join us then.
Oh I love this fancy fold, Cathy, and it is fantastic with each of the panels decorated inside. The silver and gold features with Gray Granite are surprisingly effective. Your Brother-in-law is sure to love this one!
Wow – what a wonderful card for your brother-in-law’s 60th. The surprise when the card opens is amazing. You have decorated it perfectly with stamped images and the gold and silver embellishments. Your brother-in-law will be so delighted. xxx
This is a VERY cool card, Cath! You’re right, both gold and silver look good with Gray Granite. I just love all the metallic “bits” on your card. Such a clever mechanism inside, and I really like how you used the Merriest Trees to create confetti-like embellishments.
