Colour Creation Blog Hop week 44 - Sahara Sand Floating Cards

Hi stampers, it's time for week 44 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Sahara Sand, a sandy, beige colour from the Neutrals Colour Family.

For tonight's projects I have used Sahara Sand as the base for two Floating Cards.

The first card uses the Brewed For You Bundle. 

I stamped all of the glasses images on Basic White card stock.

The images for the front of the card were cut out with the Brewed For You Dies and for inside the card the images were cut using square Stylish Shapes Dies.

For the second card I used the By The Bay Specialty DSP for the front. The shell on the front is from the Seashells Dies and Embossing  Folder. I used the Gilded Leafing Embellishment to add texture and sparkle to the shell. The leaf sprig behind the shell is Distressed Gold Paper embossed and cut with the Seashells Embossing Folder and Dies.

 The leaf sprig behind the shell is Distressed Gold Paper embossed and cut with the Seashells Embossing Folder and Dies.

Inside the card I heat embossed a couple of shells in Gold Embossing Powder and stamped the greetings in Sahara Sand.

As the Brewed For You card did not stay closed I mounted the center shell on the second card on a band around the card instead of attaching it to the front of the card. I just realised that neither of these cards has a greeting on the front, oh well, easily added when I have someone to sent them to.

Two very different cards with the same base colour, shows what a versatile neutral Sahara Sand is.  I probable don't use this colour as much as I should, Crumb Cake is my usual go to neutral.

All of the products used to make these cards are available though me online Stampin' Up! website.

It's time to head to the next stop on our blog hop. I am looking forward to seeing what my very talented team member Tina Gillespie has to share with us.

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

See you next week.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop week 41 - Sahara Sand

 

Hello stampers, welcome to week 41 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week is we are featuring one of our Neutrals colours Sahara Sand.

I thought Sahara Sand, which is a pale gray-brown colour, would be a perfect Easter Bunny colour.

I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set on to Fluid 100 Watercolour paper with Stazon Ink. I used Stazon ink as I wanted to water colour the image and Stazon ink is waterproof.

I coloured the bunny with Sahara Sand and a tiny bit of Blushing Bride ink for his nose using a Water Painter brush.

The pretty blue sky background is a piece of Beauty of the Earth DSP cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The two grass pieces are from a different sheet of Beauty of the Earth DSP cut with one of the Horizon Dies.

Some grass stamped on the card front in Sahara Sand ink and a piece of white twine are the final touches.

Now it's time to head to the blog belonging to the very talented Rachel Palmier to see what she has to share with us tonight.

If you have an issue with any of tonight's links head to Catherine Proctor's blog for a complete list of the participants.

Don't miss our current specials, Savings Are In Bloom and Waves of the Ocean.

Thanks for visiting, happy stamping,

Rachel
