Layers of Beauty Bundle: Colorful Card Design Inspiration

Last week I detailed one card design using the Layers of Beauty bundle with fall colors (August Blog Hop with Layers of Beauty Bundle). This week I have more examples to expand the uses of this bundle. This product is perfect for color exploration. You can creative a stunning piece with just two colors or expand the pallet to include complimentary or analogous colors that really bring your project to life.

This bundle includes three products: the stamp set, dies, and decorative masks. They can be used collectively to craft a stunning focal point or individually for creating elegant card fronts or scrapbook pages.

Coordinated craft bundles save you time and money! Buy the bundle and save 10% off the price of buying the stamps and tools separately.

Below are several Christie Crafts projects using the Layers of Beauty bundle with various color combinations and techniques.

TIP: Ink your embossing folder to get a multi-tone textured effect. Here I used Crumb Cake ink with the Timber 3D Embossing folder.
Inspiration: Stacey Marsh
TIP: Blue and yellow are almost opposite on the color wheel. These complimentary colors are always a winning duo!
TIP: Stamp lightly on patterned paper to create a textured background. Here I used Crumb Cake ink on Perennial Lavendar DSP.
Inspiration: Chris Smith
TIP: Add flair with a non-standard card opening.
Inspiration: Brian King
TIP: Never underestimate the power of monotone. The black and white image against a colored background is striking!
TIP: Use soft muted colors to create romance!
Inspiration: Charlet Mallett
Another use of black and white with a pop of color.
Inspiration: Su Mohr
And more romance!
TIP: Use “scraps” from cardmaking to create scrapbook layouts like this picture frame.
