Colour Creations - Early Espresso

Early Espresso is a versatile neutral, which can be used to replace black for a slightly softer look. Seems to me its perfect for these palm trees stamped on Basic White or Crumb Cake.

Timeless Tropical always reminds me of the two wonderful trips we have made to Hawaii, and how some of the more remote islands are true tropical paradises. The palm trees are silhouettes, with a gentler look, providing a pleasant contrast to Balmy Blue.

This lovely sentiment has also been stamped in Early Espresso, and trimmed down to be less obtrusive across the image. I swiped an ink pad across the card to represent the sea.

A second card was made using a similar plan, and the addition of some pops of Magenta Madness. The fonts used in Timeless Tropical contrast to emphasise the important thought.

The swiped ink technique is more obvious here, but maybe the frangipani is a little too distracting!

I wonder what Michele Taylor is sharing this week, I'm sure it will be amazing!

Week 12 AWH Colour Creations Showcase - Crumb Cake

This week team members from Art With Heart are sharing creations featuring Crumb Cake, a wonderful neutral which should be in everyone's craft supplies, since it is the most versatile neutral of them all.

This week I have teamed it mainly with Cajun Craze, which featured a few weeks back. Timeless Tropical is my stamp of choice this time, and I think my card is gender-neutral. There's a touch of Cinnamon Cider and of course the Old Olive and Early Espresso, all in quite small quantities.

There is a set of Tropics dies to cut out the images from Timeless Tropical, and they do make the job a little easier. Of course, you may know that we will have the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine available to order on September 1st.

I have mine already (demos get them a month early) and its proving to be a lovely crafting companion. The fact it folds up into such a compact size makes it perfect for my quite-small desk, especially while I use the class table as a sewing centre! No, I'm not making masks, but quilts.
