Colour Creations Blog Hop week 34 Misty Moonlight One More Year

 

Happy New Stamping Year friends! 

Welcome back to the Colour Creations Blog Hops with the Art With Heart Team. We are up to week 34 which features one of my favourite and most used colours, Misty Moonlight. Misty Moonlight is a beautiful dusty blue/gray colour that works perfectly with many SU colours.

For tonight's card I have used Misty Moonlight with a new stamp set from the Jan- April Mini Catalogue called One More Year. This fun stamp set is great fun to colour and can be used for many occasions.


I stamped the cake and dog image in Memento Black ink and coloured them with my Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below.


The greeting is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.
I cut out both images with a circle die and the greeting with a banner, all from the Stylish Shapes Dies


The background paper is from the Country Lace DSP.

Now it's time to hop over and see what amazing Misty Moonlight creation my lovely friend Sharon Davern has to share with us.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 34 - Melon Mambo Cupcake and Dino

 




Hi Stamping friends, this is the last Colour Creations Blog Hop for this year. Thank you for visiting our blog hops this year and for leaving your lovely comments. We will return on the 8th of Jan with Misty Moonlight,  We are finishing the year with Melon Mambo.

For tonight's card I have used the Pocket Thoughts stamp set. I stamped in Basic White and added a few highlights with my Melon Mambo Blends Marker that was blended with the Colour Lifter. 



The cupcake image was mounted on the reverse side of a piece of Full of Life DSP. The greeting was stamped on the same DSP in Memento Black ink.


I wound a piece of Sheer and Silver Ribbon behind the cupcake.


The final embellishment was some Jewel Rhinestones.

Just in case you thought I was over my Darling Dinos obsession I have one more card to share with you. Of course this card features the new Darling Dinos stamp set. I coloured this cute dino with Melon Mambo and Berry Burst Blends Markers.


The Melon Mambo circle behind the Dino was cut using the Everyday Details Dies. The background DSP was again from the Full of Life DSP Pack.


Here's my two cards together.


Now it's time for the next stop on our Blog Hop, which belongs to the lovely and talented Christine Blain. I'm looking forward to seeing her Melon Mambo creation.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 33 - Lost Lagoon Darling Dinos

 

Welcome to week 33 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Lost Lagoon is our feature colour tonight. Lost Lagoon is a dusty, blue/green colour that is in our Subtles colour family.

Darling Dinos are back again! I love these cute little guys! This time I coloured the Dinos with Blends Markers in Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Basic Black and Balmy Blue.



The background paper is a piece from another new product called Timeless Plaid DSP. Timeless Plaid is available in Jan next year in the Jan to April Mini Catalogue. To add a bit of texture to the DSP I ran it through my Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine with one of the Basics 3 pack Embossing folders, which is an Online Exclusive product.


A piece of Linen Thread was wrapped around both layers and knotted. I then added another piece of thread to the knot and frayed the ends.


I matted the DSP on Lost Lagoon card stock and then mounted it on a Crumb Cake card base.

Hmm, next week I might try and use a different stamp set....or maybe not. Check back next Wednesday night to find out.

Now it's time to head to the next blog in our blog hop which belongs my talented stamping friend Andrea Sargent.
