Monochromatic Hop – Featuring Blueberry Bushel

 

Monochromatic Hop – Featuring Blueberry Bushel πŸ’™

Hello crafty friends!

It’s time for another Monochromatic Insta Hop with my amazing #craftycollaborations team, and this week’s spotlight is on the bold and beautiful Blueberry Bushel. This deep, rich blue adds such a stunning effect to any project, and I had so much fun playing with it for this card!

I went for a clean and elegant design featuring a patterned background, a lovely vase of florals, and a pop of white to balance it all out. Let’s take a look!

Basic Steps to Create This Card:

  1. Card Base

    • Start with a standard A2 card base in white (4 ¼" x 5 ½").

  2. Layered Background

    • Cut a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock slightly smaller than the base for the first layer.

  3. Top Panel

    • Cut your patterned DSP Slightly smaller then the last layer. Then blend the bottom of the DSP with your blending brush 

  4. Focal Circle

    • Die cut a large circle (or frame-style circle) to create a base for your focal elements and a smaller one for your sentiment.

    • Stamp and colour images using coordinating Blueberry Bushel blends. Then Die cut them out.

  5. Assemble & Adhere

    • Attach a strip of ribbon to your DSP where the Blue and white meet. Then attach all layers using dimensionals on the vase and sentiment.

    • Mount everything onto the card base.

  6. Sentiment & Embellishments

    • Stamp your sentiment (“Best Wishes”) on a smaller circle and tuck it into the focal point. (Please note: the sentiments and labels I use may be retired to support the unique needs of my local charity, to whom I donate most of my cards.)

    • Add a bow and a few rhinestones or sequins for sparkle

I hope this card inspires you to try a monochromatic design yourself! Be sure to hop along and see how the rest of the team used Blueberry Bushel in their gorgeous creations over on Instagram.
