Peek-A-Boo!

Here's another card we'll be making at my June 13 Friday Night Cards class.  It's a little bit of a peek-a-boo card.  Take a look.  

I  used a special technique for the ribbons, from my Ribbon Techniques Album.  I tied the Blackberry Bliss ribbon around the card and then, before finishing the knot, I added a loop of Hello Honey ribbon.  This really adds a lot to the look of the card.
The giraffe is from our Zoo Babies stamp set.  The 'Hello' ticket is from Label Something.

I love how cute the giraffe looks peeking out of the window.  I cut the window with one of our oval framelits and then embossed the Hello Honey layer.  I love how it compliments the Blackberry Bliss.  I added a strip of DSP on the bottom of the inside of the card and then used a piece on the envelope flap, as well.
Tip:
Cut the oval window first and then emboss the top layer.  If you emboss first, the embossing gets flattened back down when you run it through to cut the window.

Crushed Baroque

Here's another card I made using Crushed Curry and Beautifully Baroque.  I love this combination!  I actually sewed on the button to the beautiful chevron ribbon.
My color story:
I've used Basic Gray and Smoky Slate with the Crushed Curry.

Tip:
To layer the Basic Gray behind the 'Happy Birthday' label, punch it twice, trim to fit and attach it all with dimensionals.

Back to Smoky Slate... A Color Story in 2 Versions... and the End of our New Colors Series

Today, we will wrap up our series on our new colors by going back to Smoky Slate.  When I made my first cards with this new color, I did not yet have my new Color Coach.  I decided, once I got it, that I'd make cards using the suggested color stories from the Color Coach.

In my previous post, I showed you 1 color story on a card with Washi Tape.

The color story:

• Smoky Slate
• Daffodil Delight
• Whisper White

Here is a second color story, which I've used for 2 different cards.
Here is version 1:

The color story:

• Smoky Slate
• Soft Sky
• Calypso Coral

Here is version 2:

The second card has more Calypso Coral and this last one has more Smoky Slate.
Leave a comment and tell me which card you like the best.  Have a great day!
