Colour Creations Blog Hop week 30 - Highland Heather Daisies

It'sWednesday and time for the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring the beautiful Highland Heather. Highland Heather is a lovely soft mauve/purple in our Subtles colour family.

I used the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and dies for tonight's card.

I inked each of the flower heads in Highland Heather and then used a Sponge Dauber to add some Blackberry Bliss ink to the center. I stamped on Basic White card stock and then cut out with the coordinating dies.

For the greenery I cut some leaves from Shy Shamrock and the thin fronds from Shaded Spruce card stock. The background behind the flowers a Basic White embossed with the Cane Weave embossing folder.

As I didn't have any Highland Heather ribbon I used a piece of White Sheer ribbon that I coloured with a Highland Heather Blends Marker. I shredded the ends of the ribbon with Stampin' Up! Snips.

I have one more Highland Heather card to share with you. For this card I used the Zinnias Bundle.

I started by colouring a piece of Watercolour Paper with a Waterpainter and inks in Highland Heather, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry.

I cut the flower pieces from this Watercolour Paper.

The background of the card is from the Country Woods DSP pack.

The greeting is from the Zinnias stamp set and is inked in Early Espresso on Highland Heather card stock. I cut out the greeting with a die from the Unbounded Love Die set.

All of these products are available from my Stampin' Up! online store. Please contact me if you have any questions about my projects.

Now it's time for the next hop in our blog hop. Please head to Christine Blain's blog to see what stunning project she has to share with us.

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.
