Welcome to week 41 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Sahara Sand from the Neutrals family.
Sahara Sand is the lightest neutral and such a versatile colour that really works well when paired with any colour.
In particular, I like using Sahara Sand to add shadows to “ground” stamped images into a scene, however today I’m using my Sahara Sand ink pad and a blending brush to showcase the beautiful Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks.
I’ve used the bottom middle and right masks for my card today.
This photo below shows how you can achieve an incredible two-tone effect using the same colour, just by colouring one section of the mask and then using another part of the mask to colour again on top of the first layer of colour.
I then used the stitched rectangles to die cut my flower layer, adding a layer of Basic Black underneath. I really love this colour combination of Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black!
The “Just a Note” sentiment is from the Flowering Flowers stamp set, stamped in Versamark ink, white heat embossed and die cut with another stitched rectangle die.
Instead of adding a bow of twine to embellish the card, I decided to use a few of the Classic Matte dots in the centre of the flowers instead.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

Oh I do love the 2 tone effect with those beautiful masks. such a lovely elegant card Cathy.
Love those masks – what a wonderful effect!!!
Love the neutral tones too.
Love this colour combination Cathy. The Pear Pizazz really adds extra wow. I love the depth you have achieved with your masks and blending. Beautiful card!
A real beauty Cathy. I love the colour combo and it works so well with the Sahara Sand flowers. The variation you have achieved colouring the leaves is delightful and the Classic Matte Dots in the centre of the flowers adds a special touch. Xxx
Oh, Cathy, this creation just sings to my neutral-loving heart! The flowers look SO good in Sahara Sand. Great idea, and executed beautifully.
I would never have thought to colour these flowers in neutral tones, but wow, what a cool effect. The tone you’ve achieved in the leaves, is fabulous too!
What a refreshing surprise to see these colours used on the stencil, quite lovely.
Lovely elegant card Cathy, I love the Sahara Sand flowers.
