Colour Combo Blog Hop July 2020

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I am really excited to be taking part in the monthly Colour Combo blog hop again. You will have arrived her from Nicola in the US and arrived at me in the UK!  The colours this month are right up my street. I knew what I wanted to do as soon as I saw them. I wanted to try out the 'splat' technique, no idea if thats actually what it is called but I saw it demonstrated on a video hop I was on last month (Artfulstampin with Ruth)  and I loved the effect so couldn't to try it. I thought Misty Moonlight over the top of Highland Heather would work really well.

Measurements and Materials


  • Card Base Sahara Sand
    • 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
    • Score @ 4 1/8" on the long side
  • Mat 1 Misty Moonlight
    • 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
  • Mat 2 Whisper White 
    • 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"
  • I used the 'splat' technique to stamp the Highland Heather 
  • I used the Stamparatus so I could easily stamp in Misty Moonlight directly over the top
  • I 'spritzed' some Sahara Sand using a stampin' write marker over the white of the mat
  • I heat embossed the sentiment in white on Misty Moonlight and fussy cut it out

Video Tutorial


If you pop back on Tuesday I will have the video tutorial for this card and you can see exactly how to do the 'splat' technique.


Time for the closeups!
