As this is an extra special post I have two cards to share with you that showcase Orchid Oasis.

For my first card I have used an Orchid Oasis card base from the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes and paired it with the Waves of Inspiration Bundle.

The clouds were cut from Basic White and the sea gulls were cut from Silver Foil.
For my second card I again used the 2022-2024 In Colour Glimmer Paper, this time for the background.
I started by cutting on of the 6" x 6" sheets in half so that I had both light and dark shades on both sheets.

I then cut one of the pieces on random angles with the Stampin Trimmer. These pieces were then attached to an Orchid Oasis card front with equal spaces between them.

In hindsight I think I should have cut the piece so that I could have alternate the light and dark shades across the card, but I had already attached the pieces by then so there they stayed.

The stamped image on my card is one of the robots from the Nuts and Bolts stamp set from the Jan to June catalogue. I coloured this cute little guy with the new Orchid Oasis Blends Markers. To give him a worn and weathered look I used a Colour Lifer Marker to remove some of the ink.

I placed a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock that had been embossed with the Hive 3D embossing folder behind the image.
Orchid Oasis is definitively my favourite new In Colour this year.
Now it's time to see what beautiful Orchid Oasis creations Theresa Gerrard has to share with us.
If you encounter any problems with our blog hop head to the blog of Catherine Proctor, as she is the coordinator of our blogs and will have a complete list of tonight's participants.
I'll be back tomorrow with the final In Colour, Tahitian Tide.
