Do you like to stretch your colours? Today I have a beautiful colour combination and I created it in 2 different ways!
But first… Did you know that this video is part of my Take 2 With Therese series of videos that I create for Altenew? You can check out the full playlist right HERE for more inspiration.
I was inspired by the colours in my friend Michele’s beautiful card right HERE, her card just made me want to create! Does that ever happen to you?
My first idea uses the Gradient cardstocks to add a striped background of the colours.
Then I simply stamped the beautiful bouquet from the Magnolia Ballerina Stamp Set.
And for the sentiment I heat embossed one from the Inky Bouquet Stamp Set.
My second idea was to use Ink Blending to add the colours. This was easy to do using the Large Blending Brush from Altenew.
But this time I used the Magnolia Ballerina 3D Embossing Folder to add my flowers.
And the Thinking of You Die layered up for the sentiment. To see how these cards were created I have the video linked below.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I hope you are inspired to add some use a colour combination in a different way! And if you do, I’d love to see it so please tag me on social media!
You can also see my post here at Altenew. Thanks so much for stopping by today, hugs,

Thank you for the inspiration my friend, this is truly a beautiful set of products and such fun to play with!
Your cards are always lovely but I must say these two are especially so. Love the colors and ideas.
Thanks so much Carole, these colours really make me happy too!
I too like the color combos. You always have the best choices and seem to know what will look nice together. I love all your card designs ,you never disappoint.
This combo was courtesy of Michele F, I have linked her beautiful card in my post, if you haven’t seen it already you should take a peek, it’s a stunner!
So beautiful Therese!
Thanks so much Pam x
Oh your blending is fabulous! Love the colour combos. Well I’m always inspired – however I have so many ideas rattling around in my head most of them don’t see the light of day!!! Maybe if hubby lets me retire I’ll have more time hehe and now I babysit on my day off!
Congrats on the new arrival! Sounds like your life is busier than ever lol.
such a unique colour combo, Therese – and i love it both ways. and happy birthday – hope your day was wonderful!!
Thanks so much Betty, I had a lovely day, we were away camping on the beach.
Great colour combo. I had to see how you lightened the petals on second card – great effect, along with the other mixed media additions.
