Colour Creations Blog Hop week 40 - Poppy Parade Scenic Gardens

Welcome to week 40 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Each week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are up to Poppy Parade, which is a rich orange/red in the Brights Colour Family.

For today's cards I used the Sale-a-bration Host Rewards set called Scenic Garden. Free with any workshop order over $500.

The images were stamped in Memento Black ink and coloured with Blends Markers.

To decorate the white background on the first card I coloured a flower stamp from Hand Penned Petals with a Wink of Stella Brush and inked randomly around the outside.

I also coloured the base of the cake with the Wink of Stella Brush.

The chair in this image was coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Markers. I did cheat a tiny bit and I used Sweet Sorbet twine from the 2022-2024 In Colour Twine pack to tie around the base of the image panel. Shhh, the colour is so similar no one will know ;)

The flowers are coloured with Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather Blends Markers.

I used a Scalloped Contour Dies to cut the cake image and a Deckled Rectangle to cut the image with the chair.

All of the products used to make these cards are from Stampin' Up! and are available through my online store.

Now it's time to head for the next stop on our blog hop to see what the very talented Caroline Manwaring has to share with us.

If you have any issues with the links on our blog hop, please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the wonderful host and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Make sure to come back next week when we feature Pumpkin Pie.

Only two weeks left of Sale-a-bration, get your orders in or miss out.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Colour Creations - Poppy Parade

This week's featured colour is Poppy Parade, which is a wonderful, bright red.
For my cards I used the Needlepoint and Thread Bundle.

While the Sale-a-bration is on you can purchase this Needle and Thread bundle and the coordinating Needlepoint Nook paper and qualify for a FREE Sale-a-bration reward.
For my first card I stamped the large flower image in Poppy Parade and the leaves in Old Olive and cut them out with the coordinating dies. It's a little hard to see in the photo, but the stitching image is stamped under the flower in Crushed Curry. The piece of Needlepoint Nook DSP is bordered by strips of Balmy Blue. The greeting was stamped in Mossy Meadow to finish the card.

The second card is an example of a #simplystamping card. Stampin' Up! is promoting that you only need ink and paper to produce a beautiful card. This month we were also allowed to add a ribbon, I have used the always versatile Linen Tread on this card. The colours I've used are Poppy Parade, Grapefruit Grove, Old Olive and Crumb Cake for the stitching.
