Colour Creations Blog Hop week 29 - Highland Heather Artistic Roses and Merriest Trees

Welcome to week 29 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! core colours. This week we are featuring Highland Heather, a lovely soft purple from our Subtles Colour Family.

I have two cards tonight.

Firstly a birthday card that I made for a stamping friend who loves purples.

I used the Artistically Inked Bundle. The other colours on the card are Gorgeous Grape, Lost Lagoon and Soft Sea Foam.

I've stamped some leaves behind the die cut leaves to add extra dimension.

I really love the Happy Birthday greeting in this set, it's a beautiful font. I've used white embossing powder on Gorgeous Grape card stock.

For the second card I have used the Merriest Trees Bundle. I used a Blending Brush to apply Highland Heather to the card front behind the tree. This piece was then embossed with one of the 3D Basics Embossing folders from the Online Exclusives.

To make the tree I used Blending Brushes with Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green ink. I then splattered water and a Wink of Stella pen over the card stock for added interest.

The decorations are from the Silver Glimmer Paper, Adhesive Backed. The greeting was stamped in Highland Heather ink.

Now it's time to see what my lovely stamping friend Andrea Sargent has to share with us.

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.
