Colour Creations Blog Hop week 9 - Pecan Pie Bird's Eye View

Hello friends, welcome to week 9 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order.

This week our projects feature Pecan Pie, which is one of the completely new colours to join the Stampin" Up! range this year.

I almost didn't get organised for this week but my new stamp set(to me) Bird's Eye View, was calling to me. I stamped the images in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White card stock. The birds were stamped separately so that I could cut them out and attached later with Dimensionals.

I coloured all of the images with Blends Markers. Pecan Pie for the branches, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake for the birds, with tiny bits of Orchid Oasis and Pumpkin Pie. The leaves were a combination of Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist.

When colouring the side facing bird I used a Colour Lifter to add texture to the feathers with small dabs of the marker.

I added shading around the image panel in Balmy Blue with a Blending Brush.

The chest of the bottom right bird as a small amount of Orchid Oasis that was blended with the Pecan Pie with lots and lots of small circular movements. The glasses were stamped in Memento Black ink and coloured with a Light Pool Party Marker.

I stamped and coloured some extra leaves that I attached with Dimensionals. Extra leaves were also stamped directly to the card base.

All of the products used to make these cards are available from my online Stampin' Up! store, the links are listed below.

Now it's time to head to the next hop in our blog hop. Theresa Gerrard has a beautiful Pecan Pie creation to share with you.

Colour Creations week 8 - Lemon Lolly

Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 8 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we are featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring one of the new colours that entered the Stampin' Up! colour range this year, Lemon Lolly.

I have two cards to share with you tonight. The first card uses the Zany Zoo Bundle.

I stamped the racoon image in Memento Black ink on Basic White card stock. I coloured the image with Smoky Slate Blends Markers and highlights with the Colour Lifter Marker.

On the card front I used one of the Foursquare Masks, Lemon Lolly ink and a Blending Brush to add a pattern.

I mounted the racoon on a tag die cut that was embossed with one of the Online Exclusives 3D Embossing Folders from the 3pack. I cut four balloons from Lemon Lolly, Basic White and Daffodil Delight.

The greeting from Go To Greetings was stamped in Smoky Slate on Basic White card stock and each word was cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

For the second card I cut out the letters for HAPPY from Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst card stock.

The card front is a piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I mounted the letters on a piece of Basic White card stock cut using a Scalloped Contour Die.

I cut out some more balloons from the Beautiful Balloons Dies in Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lolly card stock and used some small pieces of white twine as the balloon strings.

I stamped the birthday greeting from the Best Ever stamp set in Berry Burst ink on Lemon Lolly card stock. The final touch was a few sequins from the Loose Silver Sequins pack. They were attached with some Multipurpose Glue.

All of the products used to make these cards are available from my online store, the links are below.
