Colour Creations Showcase Blog Hop week 9 Calypso Coral

Hello stampers, I'm back with another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase. I managed to get my link done in time to join my fellow stampers this week so you will find the link to the next hop at the end of the post.

This week I inked up a new stamp set called Hats Off and the matching dies.


I stamped the main hat image on Calypso Coral card stock and cut it out with the coordinating dies. I also cut the front of the hat from Sweet Symmetry DSP. Don't forget this paper, as well as many others are on sale until the end of July.


I used the Biggest Wish stamp set and inks in Calypso Coral and Mint Macaron to stamp the background. To get the lighter tone of Calypso Coral I stamped the ink off once before stamping on the card. Some of the BIRTHDAYS were stamped in full strength Calypso Coral ink.


For more Calypso Coral inspiration from the Art With Heart team the next hop on our blog hop is the super talented Vicki Boucher.


In case you get lost or find a broken link in our hop, head to Cathy Proctor's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting,
