Our feature colour this week is Cherry Cobbler, a beautiful, rich red in the Regals range. It is perfect for Christmas, and that's the direction I took. I'm sure there will be lots of inspiration shared on this blog hop, so make sure you spend the time checking them out. We are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart.
Words of Cheer can be found on page 20 of the mini catalogue. Do you have a catalogue yet? Just ask your demonstrator, or if you don't have one and live in Australia, I'm happy to pop one to your letterbox. On page 20 there are some samples, and I was inspired by the Old Olive card, but took it a different direction.
The white embossed stamping is straight from the catty sample, but instead of the gorgeous Christmas Cheer dies that come with this stamp set, I stamped a greeting onto a stitched rectangle and layered it over an Expressions In Ink ephemera label.
The Cherry Cobbler & Gold ribbon is also very rich, perfect for Christmas. The dies cut exquisite little holly leaves with so much definition. They only need a trio of decorative dots to finish them off.
Don't you love the contrast of the Cherry Cobbler flower and greeting on the inside?

This is a beautifully composed card, Rachel. I had white-embossed that floral spray on Cherry Cobbler card, and die-cut it, then didn't know what to do with it! I love how you used the white-embossed images on your card front. Gorgeous use of these lovely new products.
ReplyDeleteRachel the white embossing is so striking against the Cherry Cobbler. I love all the layers of gold and the thin gold matt.
ReplyDeleteRachel your white embossing looks fantastic - this is a great CASE of the catty!
