AWHT Colour Creations #44 So Saffron

So Saffron with Welcoming Window. 

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are continuing to work though all the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order and are currently at "S".

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a soft yellow called So Saffron. So Saffron is part of the Subtles Colour Family and is a delightful light yellow. This colour is delightful when used with blues or greys. So Saffron goes well with numerous colour combinations including with Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride, as used in my card. 

So Saffron is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Stampin' Blends and Subtles Designer Series Papers as well as Sweet Talk and Flowering Fields DSPs. The card below has used So Saffron Classic Stampin' ink and card-stock, plus a range of other non-SS bits and pieces.

As I totally ran out of time I only created one more simple card to showcase So Saffron. Here tit is:

As you can see, So Saffron is a delightful colour. 

CARD 1:

The soon to retire Welcoming Window bundle is featured along with So Saffron. I do love this bundle and am sad to see it go. Having said that, I won't be getting rid of it from my stash (especially the dies) as windows can be handy to coordinate with certain designs.

 

So Saffron is a great colour to indicate light or sun rays and so I started by blending some So Saffron Classic Stampin' ink on a piece of Basic White card-stock. The window frame, window shutters, hinges and the window sill from the Window Flowerbox dies were cut from Basic White card-stock. The window shutters had a little So Saffron blended over them to indicate some reflected light from inside.

A Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder. This was adhered directly to a So Saffron card base. As I was attempting to form the window I kept changing the way I adhered the hinges to the window shutters - I think I must have had a brain spasm. I Googled window shutters to check which way they should go and cut a 2nd set of shutters and hinges so I could start afresh.

Plants for the window box were stamped in Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride Classic ink on Basic White card-stock. The Welcoming Windows flowering plants have coordinating dies, however, as my mind wasn't functioning properly, I fussy cut them out with one of the bunches also being cut in half. The centre flowering plant was popped up on Mini Dimensionals with the 2 halves of a plant was adhered on each side. A sentiment from the same stamp set was White heat embossed onto So Saffron card-stock.

A piece of Basic White card-stock had some So Saffron ink blending along the outer edge and a birthday sentiment was stamped also in So Saffron ink. A Basic White C6 Envelope had some So Saffron ink blended over some edges. This is a simple and quick addition to coordinate the envelope to the card.

Thank you so much for dropping by. I do value the time you spent with me.
