The new Annual catalogue is here! Which means there are lots of new things to help inkspire our crafting. This includes some new colours. And I don’t just meant the 2024-202 In Colours. There’s a new basic colour; Basic Beige. At first when I saw it I wasn’t sure, but figured I’d give it a try. And I have to say I love Basic Beige!
I’m pairing Basic Beige with Petal Pink for this card that I made for my small team’s monthly creative challenge. There’s also a couple other new products in this card design. The patterned paper is from the new Country Wood Designer Series Paper Pack. I’m definitely going to have fun crafting with this pack of DSP! I used a couple of small strips of the DSP to frame the extra flap in the the centre. And then another larger strip on top of the flap.
On top of the flap I also added a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set. I stampin it in Basic Beige. And then I surrounded it with some flowers from the new Flowers of Beauty stamp set. This is a two-step stamp set. So I stamped the outline of the flowers first in Basic Beige. Then I “coloured” them in with Petal Pink ink. So pretty! The Basic Beige really shows off the detail in the outline, but is still fairly subtle. I framed this piece with some Petal Pink cardstock. And to finish it off I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
The card base is also Basic Beige. And it also opens up. So there’s lots of room to add a handwritten note.
I love Basic Beige! And am curious to know what you think. Let me know in the comments.
