Colour Creations Blog Hop week 30 - Highland Heather Daisies

 

It'sWednesday and time for the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring the beautiful Highland Heather. Highland Heather is a lovely soft mauve/purple in our Subtles colour family.

I used the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and dies for tonight's card.

I inked each of the flower heads in Highland Heather and then used a Sponge Dauber to add some Blackberry Bliss ink to the center. I stamped on Basic White card stock and then cut out with the coordinating dies.

For the greenery I cut some leaves from Shy Shamrock and the thin fronds from Shaded Spruce card stock. The background behind the flowers a Basic White embossed with the Cane Weave embossing folder.

As I didn't have any Highland Heather ribbon I used a piece of White Sheer ribbon that I coloured with a Highland Heather Blends Marker. I shredded the ends of the ribbon with Stampin' Up! Snips.

I have one more Highland Heather card to share with you. For this card I used the Zinnias Bundle.

I started by colouring a piece of Watercolour Paper with a Waterpainter and inks in Highland Heather, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry.

I cut the flower pieces from this Watercolour Paper.

The background of the card is from the Country Woods DSP pack.

The greeting is from the Zinnias stamp set and is inked in Early Espresso on Highland Heather card stock. I cut out the greeting with a die from the Unbounded Love Die set.

All of these products are available from my Stampin' Up! online store. Please contact me if you have any questions about my projects.

Now it's time for the next hop in our blog hop. Please head to Christine Blain's blog to see what stunning project she has to share with us.

Heart of Christmas week 16 - Sentiment Christmas Circles

 

I am a hoarder of Designer Series Paper! I have mountains of it. Because of this I am making a concerted effort to use more DSP and hoard less ;).

I have used Sentimental Christmas DSP for tonight's cards. I started by using the Sentimental Christmas Dies to cut out the stockings from a sheet of the DSP.

After all of the stockings were cut out I used various Circle Punches to cut out different images from the remaining paper. A couple of them were discontinued sizes. They are listed below. Once I finished with the circle punch there was nothing left of that sheet of DSP. YAY me!

I embossed a piece of Garden Green card stock with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders from the 3 pack that is an Online Exclusive. I arranged the circles and adhered them with Stampin' Seal and Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Sentimental Christmas stamp set and was stamped in Poppy Parade ink and cut out with one of the dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I am determined to start making a dent in my DSP stocks, no more hoarding(less anyway).

Let’s hop over to Sharon Davern’s blog to see what fabulous Christmas project she has to share with us.

Sharon is also the host of our beautiful Heart Of Christmas so if you have any issues with the links in our hop please head to her blog for a complete list of tonight’s participants.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 29 - Gray Granite Classic Wedding

 

Hi stamping friends, I had a wonderful time playing with a new stamp set bundle from the Online Exclusives range called Classic Wedding for this week's Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week's feature colour is Gray Granite.

The description of the Seasons of Elegance DSP states it includes Gray Granite, but it is only in tiny amounts. I decided to use this beautiful paper for my wedding card anyway.

I stamped the car outline in Versamark on Crumb Cake card stock and embossed it with gold embossing powder.

I coloured the image with the solid stamp and Gray Granite ink. Although the effect is quite subtle it adds a bit of depth to the image. I stamped the tyres in Basic Gray ink.

 I cut out the image with the coordinating die. To decorate the back of the card I embossed the outline of the banner in Gold embossing powder, then stamped the greeting in Moody Mauve ink. The leaves are stamped in Pretty Peacock, stamped off once and the flowers are cut from Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath card stock.

I cut a piece of Season of Elegance Paper and matted it on Moody Mauve card stock. The card base is Very Vanilla. On the top right and the bottom left of the card front I stamped some hearts in Versamark and embossed them with Clear embossing powder.

The final element was a piece of Gold Twisted thread wound twice around the card front.

Now it's time to head to the next stop on our blog hop which belongs to my lovely stamping friend and the host of our Colour Creations blog hops Cathy Proctor.

You will also need to head to Cathy's blog if you have any issues with the links in our hop as she has a complete list of tonight's participants.
