Colour Creations Blog Hop week 33 - Misty Moonlight

Hello and welcome to week 33 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Our feature colour this week is Misty Moonlight, a lovely dusty blue that returned to our range earlier this year, Yay!

For today's card I have a fancy fold that I call an Angled Z Fold card. The angel image on the front is from the So Very Merry stamp set and has been coloured with Blends Markers.

Each of the patterned DSP I have used are from different paper packs, O Holly Night, Winter Meadow and Countryside Inn.

This card still only uses half an A4 sheet of cardstock for the base, but it is slightly larger than a standard card and will need an envelope 14cm x 14cm.

The greeting is from the Christmas Classics stamp set and was stamped in Real Red Ink.

Now for the next hop in our blog hop please head to Christine Blain’s blog to see what she has to share with us.

If you encounter any problems with the links in our hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the host of our Colour Creations Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

We are taking a break for a couple of weeks and will be back on the 3rd of Jan, although I won't be as I'll be on a cruise boat heading towards Adelaide :) .

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 13 - Blackberry Bliss Traveling Along

Hello stampers, it's time for another 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 we're up to Blackberry Bliss. Blackberry Bliss is one of our returning favourite colours that is in our Neutrals colour family. It's probably the least neutral of the Neutrals Colour family but it does co ordinate beautifully with many other Stampin' Up! colours.

For tonight's card I was very excited to have a play with one of the newest Online Exclusive products, the Trucking Along stamp set.

For this card I stamped the truck in Memento Black Ink and coloured with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends Markers. The flowers are Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blends Markers and the sides of the truck are Pecan Pie Blends Markers.

The circle is cut from the largest Stylish Shapes Dies. The top half was shaded with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink and the bottom half was blended with Old Olive Ink and a Blending Brush.

The trees are stamped in Memento Black Ink and Old Olive Ink. The trunks were coloured with a Pecan Pie Marker.

The background was coloured with a Foursquare Decorative Mask and a Blending Brush. Lots of Blending Brushes were used for this card. I'm loving this set, i think it will be great for making cards for various themes sending wishes, birthdays and Christmas.

Now it's time to hop over and see what my talented team member Sharon Davern has to share with us.
