Colour Creations Blog Hop week 35 Petal Pink

Hello friends, welcome to week 35 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Every week the Art With Heart team has been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Petal Pink which is a soft pink/apricot colour in the Subtles color family.

For my first card I have used the Easter Friends stamp set, specifically the bunny image.

I stamped in Soft Suede ink and coloured with Blends Markers in Petal Pink, Pale Papaya and Cajun Craze.

The image panel was cut using one of the Scalloped Contour Dies.

The mat behind the image is Garden Green and the DSP in from the Heart & Home pack.

The bunch of flowers the bunny is holding was punched with the Bough Punch, the stems in Garden Green and the flowers in Petal Pink. I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers for a bit of sparkle.

The second card I have to share with you uses one of my favourite stamp sets, Free As A Bird. I stamped the image and the greeting in Early Espresso ink and coloured with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Old Olive Blends Markers.

I added a slight blue tinge to the sky by applying Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush. I coloured the White Crinkled Seam Binding with the Dark Petal Pink Blends Marker so that it stood out a bit more on the card.

The background DSP is a sheet from the Friendly Hello Bundle, which is one of the rewards in the Sale-a-bration Sale.

Art With Heart Blog Hop September - Designer Series Paper

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing amazing projects featuring Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper, most of which is in the current promotions where you can buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper and receive a pack for free! Only available until the 30th of September.

For more information about the promotion, contact any of the ladies on the blog hop and we will be happy to help you.

I have three cards to show you tonight, all featuring Stampin' Up!s amazing Designer Series Paper (DSP).
The first card uses the See A Silhouette DSP. I find this paper is perfect for quick and easy cards which are suitable for many age groups and occasions, but especially teenagers and young adults.

I have used a piece of the top sheet pictured above as the background. The greetings are from the Broadway Birthday stamp set.

I punched two balloons from Sparkle Glimmer paper and coloured them with a combination of ink and rubbing alcohol in Spritzer bottles. The colours I used are Real Red and Daffodil Delight.

This card is destined for my masculine card stash, which is very depleted at the moment.

The second card uses the Dinoroar DSP. Dinoroar you say! Yes this DSP has adorable dinosaur images on one side and versatile graphic images on the other side.

I started with embossing paste and one of the new Basic Pattern Decorative Masks as the background. I used a strip of DSP on one side of the card. The Lovely Lipstick frame and WISH are cut using the Broadway Lights Dies.

The balloon was cut and coloured as for the first card.

The flame has been highlighted with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

This card uses the Bird Ballad DSP and Free As A Bird stamp set. The images were cut from the Stitched Shapes Dies.

The flower and leaves were punched from two of the Bird Ballad DSP sheets and the Meduim Daisy Punch and Leaf Punch. The center of the daisy is an In Colour Faceted Dot, in Terracotta Tile.
