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 week 6 - Bubble Bath Zany Zoo

Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 7 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we are featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours.

This week we are up to the second new colour to join the Stampin' Up! colour range, Bubble Bath, a lovely soft, baby pink colour.

I have two cards to share with you tonight. For the first card I have used the Zany Zoo bundle. This cute set is really versatile and can be used for many different themed cards. Tonight I have a baby card to share with you.

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

For the background of my card I used three different embossing folders and strips of Bubble Bath card stock.

For the second card I used the Dots and Spots Die and the Wanted to Say Dies. I cased this idea from a card I saw by Penny Hammond who is a fellow demonstrator and who always has inspirational ideas to share.

I cut a circle from Smoky Slate card stock and then die cut the circle with the Dots and Spots Die. I used strips of Fresh Freesia, Orchid Opulence and Berry Burst to weave through the holes.

The Happy Birthday was cut from Soft Shimmer Specialty paper in Berry Burst. The Berry Burst balloon was cut from the same Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper, but the other two balloons were cut from plain card stock in Orchid Opulence and Fresh Freesia. These balloons were then coloured with a Wink of Stella Pen to give a similar shimmery finish.

The background of the card was embossed with one of the Online Exclusive 3pk of Embossing Folders.

All of the products used to make these cards are available in my Stampin' Up! online store. If you have any questions please contact me as I am always happy to chat about Stampin' Up! and card making.

Now it's time to see what my wonderfully clever team member and the host of our blog hop Cathy Proctor has to share with us.
