Colour Creations Blog Hop - week 38 Parakeet Party Planted Paradise

 



Hi stamping friends, welcome to week 38 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Every week we have been featuring on of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week our projects feature Parakeet Party, a bright, clear green that is one of the In Colours for 2022-2024.


I have used the Planted Paradise stamp set for to night's card. This photo polymer stamp  includes three different pot options and lots of different foliage options.
The pot I chose was stamped in Moody Mauve with the foliage in Parakeet Party, Old Olive and Shaded Spruce.


I added a tiny butterfly in Fresh Freesia that I cut out and mounted on a Dimensional.


The greeting is from the Go To Greetings stamp set and was stamped in Parakeet Party. I have to apologise as I didn't realise that the background DSP is actually Lemon Lime Twist instead of Parakeet Party. As these colours are so similar I don't think it looks out of place. 

Now it's time to see what my lovely stamping friend Christine Blain has to share with us.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 37 = Orchid Oasis Details

 





Hello stamping friends, I have finally made it back from a relaxing Christmas break to join the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team.
I'm very happy to come back to Orchid Oasis week. Orchid Oasis is one of the 2022-2024 In Colours that will unfortunately be leaving the range at the end of this catalogue at the end of April this year :(. 
For this card I have used the Everyday Details Bundle and the Layered Florals Embossing Folder, both from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.



I stamped the teacup image on Fluid 100 water colour paper in Versamark ink and embossed in silver embossing powder. I coloured the image with a Water Painter and ink from Orchid Oasis, Petal Pink and Granny Apple Green stamp pads.


I embossed a piece of Basic White card stock with the Layered Florals Embossing folder and then used a Blending Brush and Orchid Oasis ink to highlight the texture.
The leaves were cut using a die from the Perennial Lavender Die set.

Now it's time to see what my stamping friend and blog host Cathy Proctor has to share with us.
