Colour Creations Blog Hop week 2 - Copper Clay Earthen Elegance

Hi stampers! Welcome to week 2 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we will be featuring one of the stunning Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order, starting with the new 2023-2025 In Colours. This week we are featuring Copper Clay.

For tonight's card I have used the amazing Earthen Elegance Bundle. Another set that jumped out at me when I first saw the new catalogue. There is a range of stamped and die cut pots and foliage that go beautifully together.

These co ordinate perfectly with the Earthen Elegance 12"x12" DSP, so many yummy textures in these papers.

I started with a Copper Clay card base and stamped the fine foliage in the top left corner in Copper Clay ink.

The pots were cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP and the foliage was cut from Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock card stock.

I wanted to show you a closer look at the pot with the handles as there are two different dies required, the pot and the handles.

The Deckled Rectangle behind the pots is Gray Granite and had been embossed with one of the Earthen Elegance Dies.

The Thank You is stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut with a Stylish Shape Die.

The final embellishment is a piece of Linen Thread wound a couple of times around the tall pot and finished with a bow.

I have a second card to share with you. I got the idea for this card from another I saw online made with another stamp set.

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 8cm x 19cm. I inked a C Block in Pebbled Path, stamped off once and then sprayed with rubbing alcohol before stamping in the center of the piece.

I repeated this process with Copper Clay and Wild Wheat ink. I made a mask the size of the block and then stamped the foliage images over each block.

I used a small piece of Pebbled Path Ribbon under the greeting.

All of the products used to make these cards are in the new Stampin' Up! catalogue and are available in my online store. The links are below. If you have any questions please contact me.

Now it's time to head to Di Furniss' blog to see her amazing project featuring Copper Clay.
