Colour Creations - Soft Suede
April 26, 2023
This is our very last week of Colour Creations for the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue, and this week we have a colour that I am VERY SAD!!! to see retiring out of our collection.
This week, the Art With Heart blog hoppers say a very fond farewell to Soft Suede.
Soft Suede is a warm, soft brown, and I have used so many packets of it, and I even have two Soft Suede ink pads!
This past week or so, there has been a heck of a lot of stuff going on in my extended family, as well as it being garlic planting time, so I only had time to make a very simple card. I chose to use Soft Suede as my base card, to show you what a wonderful, warm, versatile colour it is.
More often than not, I would choose to use a white base card with the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, but I think in this case, the Soft Suede really enhances the casual country feel of the card.
While Soft Suede and the Country Floral Designer Series Papers are retiring with the 2022-2023 catalogue, the Country Bouquet stamp set and co-ordinating punch are carrying over into the new catalogue, which makes my heart very happy!
Anyway - if you are on the blog hop, it's now time to go and visit the blog of my dear friend Tina Gillespie, so click the NEXT box below and you will be taken to her blog.
If you come across a broken link, our wonderful blog hop coordinator Cathy has all of the links on her blog here.
Thanks for looking at our blog hop! Don't forget, there are only a couple of days left of this catalogue, after which, you will not be able to buy the discontinued items. Several of them are heavily discounted, so jump on the online shop today and don't miss out!
See you again soon, with ink on your fingers!

Your card is so pretty, Kathryn. Nearly enough to make me like Soft Suede, LOL! The gingham DSP and the heart-flower look wonderful layered over the brown.

Kathryn, your beautiful card has showcased a lovely soft country side of Soft Suede that I had not realised existed. Soft Suede really does enhance the casual country feel of your card.

A gorgeous card Kathryn. I love Petal Pink with Soft Suede and the combo goes so well with the country feel you have evoked. xxx

Warm tones to match the warmth of the sentiment, Kathryn. Simple & lovely.
