Colour Creations Blog Hop week 14 - Bubble Baths Layers of Beauty


Hello and welcome to week 14 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week our featured colour is Bubble Bath. Bubble Bath recently entered our range in the last colour refresh. Bubble Bath is a lovely pale pink the is my go to colour for baby girl cards.

This week I have used Bubble Bath with the Layers of Beauty bundle to make a very special birthday card.

The stamp was coloured directly with the Stampin Write Markers so that I could stamp the flowers in Melon mambo and the leaves in Old Olive. The small daisy flowers were stamped in Azure Afternoon. I stamped on Bubble Bath card stock.


I used the coordinating Layers of Beauty masks and Blending Brushes to colour the image. Colours used are Bubble Bath, Melon mambo, Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. I didn't notice until later that I got some Azure Afternoon on a couple of the roses. I have now ordered some of the smaller Blending Brushes so that I can avoid this happening again. I cut out the image with the matching dies.

I cut the image in half so that I could have a piece of each side of the card instead of one main image in the middle.


I used a Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a rectangle to attach the flowers to. I ended up re cutting this piece from a piece of Bright and Beautiful DSP  and dry embossing for a little more interest. A couple of the leaves are outside the die so that they will extend over the edge of the rectangle.

I cut the letters using the Mini Alphabet Dies from White Glimmer Paper. I coloured the letters using a Blending Brush and Melon Mambo ink. The Happy Birthday is from the Best Family Ever stamp set. I used this set regularly as it has numerous greeting that are very versatile.




The card base is also Bubble Bath card stock.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 12 - Blueberry Bushel Tools

 



Hello stamping friends, it's time for week 12 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Blueberry Bushel, a wonderfully deep, rich blue.


For this week's card I had a lovely time water colouring some tools. I used the Trusty Toolbox stamp set to randomly stamp hammers, tape measures and paint brushes on a piece of Fluid 100 Water Color Paper.

The colours I used were Blueberry Bushel, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie.


I got the large Water Painter very wet with a Blueberry Bushel mix and tapped it over the water colour paper to create the splatters.

Happy Father's Day is stamped in Blueberry Bushel and DAD is heat embossed in white embossing powder.

Next person in our blog hop is my fabulous stamping friend Andrea Sargent.

Please return next week when we will be featuring Boho Blue.
