Tippy Thursday

Hi everyone, gosh the weeks are flying by. I have even made my first Christmas card this week, only I add because it was the project at my class meet. I've never started this early, usually it's mid November before I can face tinsel time!

My main focus this week has been on creating a Wedding, a Ruby and a Golden Wedding Card. Making them made me think about using bits and pieces from my stash and also at looking closely at dies, Cuttlebug folders, papers and cardstock. You buy must have things and sometimes fail to get the best out of them - does this sound familiar - or is it just me?????

These are the cards I mananged to make







Whilst printing out the front words and inserts for the cards, I remembered a tip given to me on another crafting forum and that was a recipe for changing the colour to get better shades of gold, silver and copper. And, so for you to try....

Gold - Red 192
Green 168
Blue 104

Deeper Gold - Red 165
Green 138
Blue 82

Silver - Red 151
Green 151
Blue 168

Copper - Red 205
Green 115
Blue 0

I used the deeper gold shade on the front on the GWA Card - it's a really good colour, better than the gold on my editing programme. AND, so easy to change and save for another day!

Thanks for popping in, hope you find this tip useful.
