Colour Creations Blog Hop week42 - Pretty Peacock Lifetime of Love

For week 42 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop we are featuring one of my favourite colours Pretty Peacock. Pretty Peacock was originally one of our In Colours, that returned a couple of years later to our core colour range in the Regals Colour Family.

For today's cards I used the Forever Love Specialty DSP and some masking.

I created both background pieces with one of the masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Pretty Peacock Ink and a Blending Brush. I find that I get the most even ink coverage with a Blending Brush if I add the colour quite slowly, adding a small amount of ink until I'm happy with the depth of colour. I use a circular motion on the ink pad to load the brush and then a circular motion to apply the ink to the cardstock.

The flowers are fussy cut from the Forever Love Specialty DSP. The greetings are embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I borrowed the Happy Anniversary from a discontinued set called Timeless Love.

The greeting panels were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Nested Essential Dies. I popped a short piece of Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon under each of the floral pieces. The card bases are Very Vanilla Thick card stock to add a bit more stability to my cards.

Now it's time to see what my very talented stamping friend Di Furniss has to share with us.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 32 - Melon Mambo Year to Celebrate

Hello friends, welcome to week 32 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week our featured colour is Melon Mambo, a bright fun pink from our Brights Colour Family.

For today's card I have used the Year to Celebrate stamp set and the Merry Bold & Bright DSP from the Sept to Dec Catalogue.

I used the colours from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Blueberry Bushel, and Flirty Flamingo. I stamped three party blowers on Basic White card stock and fussy cut them using my Paper Snips.

Some Melon Mambo confetti was stamped on the card front, then I randomly attached three strips of the DSP.

The greeting is also stamped in Melon Mambo and cut with a Stylish Shape circle die. The final embellishment was a few Rhinestone Jewels.

It's now time to see what my stamping friend Di Furniss has to share with us.
