Colour Creations Blog Hop week 20 - Crumb Cake Layers of Beauty

 

Hi stampers, I'm back from a wonderful three holiday, sailing home from Singapore.

I'm excited to be joining in for week 20 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Crumb Cake, a very neutral sand colour from the Neutrals Colour Family, that I love and use a lot.

I have used the Layers of Beauty Bundle again. This time for something different I stamped the main image twice on Crumb Cake card stock in Early Espresso ink. I used the Layers of Beauty Masks to apply the colour. For the first mask I used White Craft ink and a Sponge Dauber.

The other colours I used for the flowers are Pretty In Pink and Berry Burst (masks 2 and 3). The leaves are Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green (masks 4 and 5). The small Daisies are Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze.

I cut out one of the images with the large die and one with the single rose die. I cut the large image in half by hand so that I could divide it top and bottom of the card.

I added some leaves in Old Olive that were cut with the Layers of Beauty dies.

The card front is a piece from the Country Woods DSP pack. There is a thin mat in Pretty In Pink behind the wood grain piece.

The greeting from the Country Birdhouse set is stamped in Crumb Cake on Pretty in Pink card stock.

I hope I have shown you a different way to use Crumb Cake card stock. This technique would also work on other medium coloured card stock like Smoky Slate and Lost Lagoon. Have a play and I would love to see what you come up with.

Now it's time to hop over to the next stop on our blog hop, which is Cathy Proctor. Cathy is also the amazing host of our Colour Creations Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants if you have any issues following along.

Thanks for visiting and I will be back next Monday with the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 14 - Bubble Baths Layers of Beauty

Hello and welcome to week 14 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week our featured colour is Bubble Bath. Bubble Bath recently entered our range in the last colour refresh. Bubble Bath is a lovely pale pink the is my go to colour for baby girl cards.

This week I have used Bubble Bath with the Layers of Beauty bundle to make a very special birthday card.

The stamp was coloured directly with the Stampin Write Markers so that I could stamp the flowers in Melon mambo and the leaves in Old Olive. The small daisy flowers were stamped in Azure Afternoon. I stamped on Bubble Bath card stock.

I used the coordinating Layers of Beauty masks and Blending Brushes to colour the image. Colours used are Bubble Bath, Melon mambo, Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. I didn't notice until later that I got some Azure Afternoon on a couple of the roses. I have now ordered some of the smaller Blending Brushes so that I can avoid this happening again. I cut out the image with the matching dies.

I cut the image in half so that I could have a piece of each side of the card instead of one main image in the middle.

I used a Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a rectangle to attach the flowers to. I ended up re cutting this piece from a piece of Bright and Beautiful DSP  and dry embossing for a little more interest. A couple of the leaves are outside the die so that they will extend over the edge of the rectangle.

I cut the letters using the Mini Alphabet Dies from White Glimmer Paper. I coloured the letters using a Blending Brush and Melon Mambo ink. The Happy Birthday is from the Best Family Ever stamp set. I used this set regularly as it has numerous greeting that are very versatile.

The card base is also Bubble Bath card stock. 

Now it's time to head to the next stop on our blog hop which belongs to super talented stamper Vicki Boucher. Please take the time to check out all of the blogs in our hop for lots of Bubble Bath inspiration. We really appreciate the time taken to leave us a message.
