AWHT Colour Creations #16 Crushed Curry

Crushed Curry with Honeybee Home

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are working though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. 

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a deep yellow called Crushed Curry. Crushed Curry is part of the Regals Colour Family and is a muted colour. This colour is lovely for flowers, honey bees, sunsets plus so much more. It is delightful with greys, greens  and can complement purples (being on the opposite side of the colour wheel). It can harmonise with Gold. 

Crushed Curry is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Water-colour Pencils; Regals Designer Series Paper as well as He's the Man, Tea Boutique, Butterfly Kisses, Rustic Harvest, Rings of Love and Celebrate Everything DSPs; plus The Best Remedy Kit, Fun Flowers Resin Shapes; and Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. 

Here is my card to hero Crushed Curry:

Crushed Curry led me to think of sunshine, sunflowers, daisies, bees and honey etc, etc. I had a number of ideas but eventually settled on honey bees and a background watercolour wash with Hive 3D embossing and hexagon die cuts.

I started by water-colouring a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper with Crushed Curry Classic ink using a wide-brushed Water Painter. The water-coloured panel was embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. It is a beautiful EF and can be used showing either side of the embossed panel. The coloured embossed panel was mounted onto a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry Card-stock before being affixed to a Basic White card base.

Hexagon's were cut from Basic White card-stock using the Beautiful Shapes dies. Images from the Honeybee Home stamp set were partially stamped onto the white hexagons, using the marker to stamp technique. Gorgeous Grape & Old Olive Stampin' Write markers were used. Momento Tuxedo Black ink was used to stamp the bees. The images were all coloured using pencils from both Watercolor Pencil sets, ie Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Gorgeous Grape, Rich Razzelberry, Basic Black and White. They are lovely pencils to use either just by themselves (as done here) or together with a Blender Pen or Water Painter.

A sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped onto Crushed Curry card-stock using Versamark ink and heat embossed with White Emboss Powder and a Heat Tool. A bow of White Crinkled Seam Binding and some gold Simply Elegant Trim was tucked under the fussy cut sentiment and some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels were sprinkled around to add a little sparkle.

A Basic White card inner was mounted onto a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry card-stock with a thin left over strip of the embossed water-coloured paper added to the right side. An extra bee also was added. A Basic White C6 Envelope was stamped with the little floral stamp in Crushed Curry ink. (Please excuse the different background for the photo above. It was starting to rain so I dashed inside forgetting that I had missed taking a photo of the card inner.)

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