Emerald Envy

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring the NEW IN COLORS!!  EMERALD ENVY is this week’s color, so rich and bold!



Lately I've been into the new stamp set SITTING HERE.  I normally go for bold, solid stamps, but something about this one called to me!



Isn't this gorgeous with Emerald Envy as the focus color!!  I coordinated the card base to the porch swing pillows and added a splash of Dapper Denim.



To add a little interest on the card base, a die cut leaf was tucked under the left side of the focal point.  I like how it both blends and and stands out.



The inside of the card and envelope coordinate with the card front.  The leaf is carried over, love how simple yet beautiful it is!  The sentiment is heat embossed on black.  One of the sentiments from ROSE WONDER was a perfect compliment to the greeting on the front.



Clean and simple can really be the way to go with a bold color like this.  Even thought SITTING HERE has lots of great stamps to work with, simple has been the way to go for me!

I normally stick to a collection of my favorite colors for card making.  For today's card, I used a color that I rarely touch...Night of Navy.



Isn't Night of Navy pretty when paired with Blushing Bride!  I started out knowing I wanted something a bit different so I also included an embossing folder that I rarely use, BOHO CHIC.  I like the texture plus it gives the card a lot more interest!  But there's still more, this isn't a typical card.......



It's an easel card!  I love how easy these cards are to make yet they have a terrific WOW factor.  A small flower stamped and a punched flower make a simple holder to make the front of the card stand.



The flowers are all built from BOTANICAL BUILDERS and the ITTY BITTY ACCENTS PUNCH PACK.  I also threw in a couple of leaves from the ROSE GARDEN THINLITS.  Using a couple shades of green, Pear Pizzaz and Old Olive, gives more depth.  The sentiment is pulled from ROSE WONDER the set that coordinates with the ROSE GARDEN THINLITS.  I really like the contrast of the Blushing Bride frame and Old Olive sentiment.



I hope you will venture out of your comfort zone like I did today, I think you'll be surprised with your creation!
