Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 39 -Old Olive

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting & crafting together. This week we are creating with Old Olive. This is a colour I use infrequently, I suspect because it has been around so long. I don't dislike it, so I allowed myself a session one afternoon to just play.

CARD 1:

Using two stamp & die bundles - Linked Together and Delightful Wishes I mixed and matched to create three cards. This one had a majority of pieces from Linked Together but 'Wishing you well' is from Delightful Wishes.

Serene Love DSP comes in three monotone colours, Lost Lagoon, Night of Navy & Old Olive. I'm sure you have seen them already.

CARD 2:

Card 2 used the masks from Linked Together (there are stamps, dies & masks in this bundle). All the ink blending used Old Olive but with each layer it became darker & darker.

Frequently I use three panels on my card front, whether it be DSP, embossed card or masked and blended as it is here. This is all 5 of the Linked Together masks inked one after the other.

The oval & sentiment are from Linked Together too, but the branch & flowers belong to Delightful Wishes. I really believe these two bundles work really well together.

CARD 3:

I wasn't going to share this card, it was the first one I made and now looks a bit basic. I was experimenting with the masks not worrying about the numbers on them or lining them up, just always using Old Olive. I would like to continue to experiment with that and take it further. The masks are from Linked Together, "wishing you a happy birthday" and the die for the label are all Delightful Wishes and the flowers have been cut from Serene Love DSP.
