Silver wreath
Posted: November 6, 2015 Filed under: Winter moments 7 Comments
On the PB blog this week the designers have been sharing favourite colour schemes. I mix up the Christmas decorating at our place by choosing a different colour scheme each year. I have a collection of silver baubles and gold baubles so I usually pick one or the other then add a colour. We have had red and gold, red and silver, green and silver, etc. One of my favourite combinations is blue and silver. I love the way blue sets off the silver accents. It is like the night sky.
My card features a silver embossed wreath and greeting on a blue watercoloured background. I used three blues from my gansai tambi watercolour set, layering and blending them over the embossing.
By letting the paint dry a little between applications I was able to build up more colour in some places to accentuate the edges of the pretty silver wreath.
Supplies:
Stamps: Peace & Harmony, Winter Moments (PB)
Inks: Versamark ink (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Canson 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper, Neenah patriot blue cardstock
Also: silver embossing powder

So Goegeous! I love this colour combination xxx
Blue and silver is one of my favourites too Heather, especially for Christmas and these Gansai Tambi paints have the most fantastic colour palette. x
Your color combo is so striking, and the simple element of that gorgeous silver wreath makes for a beautiful card. Thanks for the inspiration today.
everything you make is gorgeous!
Heather, this is gorgeous, and I just love the blue and how you’ve built up the deepest blue in the center of the wreath. I truly had to look more closely to see whether you had cut out the center. It’s absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing and inspiring! Hugs!
I agree, blue and silver is a classic combo. This is a beautiful wreath with the watercoloured background.
This is one of your pieces that gets more and more wonderful the more I look at it. Thanks, Heather, for your inspiration.
