Thanks to my newly acquired Isabelle stack from First Edition Paper, I am channelling my inner Kelly Hoppen. If you are not aware of this talented woman, she's a renowned interior designer who has a signature style consisting of a neutral palette. And there is one colour in particular, that I have used on this card, which is synonymous with KH. Taupe.
Yup. KH is the queen of Taupe, in all its many shades. Ahhhh, give me a neutral palette to play with any day of the week. And I've chosen to accent with the collection's pale blue-green papers.
It's not quite as shabby this time around but some of my usual elements are there. Buttons, flower, pearls & seam binding. The design has come from this week's Deconstructed Sketch. I've had to modify the placing of the ovals though. If I hadn't, I would have hidden the stamped chandelier image.
Hope everyone has had a fun, creative & relaxing weekend. Pxx
Beautiful. I'm a fan of taupe too and I love how you've incorporated all those layers. Gorgeous card x
ReplyDeleteSquealing with delight here at this gorgeously muted palette. I am, as you know, another taupe fan - and the combination with this eggshell blue is delightful. Love the oval repetition and hope the back is better ...
ReplyDeleteVery elegant card, Paul. The chandelier stamp works beautifully with the patterned paper you've chosen x
