Colour Creations Blog Hop - week 49 Soft Succulent Succulents

Welcome to week 49 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Each week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours. We are nearly to the end of our blog hops for this catalogue year, which is just as well as the new catalogue starts on the 2nd of May. This week we are featuring Soft Succulent, which is one of the 2021-2023 In Colours that is retiring shortly.

I couldn't resist, this week I used to the Simply Succulent stamp set and Potted Succulents Dies to feature Soft Succulent. I stamped the main image in Evening Evergreen ink and the coloured with Blends Markers. As the core Stampin' Up! colours are water based they are suitable for colouring with the Blends Markers. The colours used are listed below.

The background piece is cut using a Deckled Rectangle Die and has been embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders 3pack, which is one of our Online Exclusives. See all of the Online Exclusives in my online store.

The background DSP is a piece of Delicate Desert DSP.

I highlighted some of the points of the succulents with the Colour Lifter Blends. The greeting is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Unfortunately many of the products used to make this card are retiring and only available until the end of April.

Don't forget Stampin' Up! have free delivery on all orders until midnight tonight. Grad yourself some bargains! Please contact me with any questions.

Now it's time to move onto the next stop in our blog hop. Kathryn Ruddick is the next talented team member in the hop.

Rachel

Art With Heart Colour Creations week 31 - Old Olive

Hello, this week the Art With Heart Team are featuring Old Olive in the Colour Creations Showcase. Old Olive is our longest serving green and is always my go to green for foliage.

This week I am using Old Olive with one of my new stamp and die bundles, Simply Succulents.

For my card I stamped the main floral image in Memento ink and coloured it with my Blends markers. The colours I used are listed below.

The bucket image was also stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Smokey Slate and Cajun Craze Blends Markers. I cased the colouring of the bucket from the very talented Alisa Tilsner. It really looks like the bucket has started to rust. I love getting inspiration from my fellow demonstrators, it's a wonderful community to belong to.

I cut out the floral and bucket image using the coordinating dies, the Potted Succulent dies.

The border around the white card stock is cut using the Stitched Whimsy dies. The greeting is from the Simply Succulent stamp set and is cut out using the Potted Succulent dies. It has been stamped in Memento ink on Soft Sea Foam card stock.

The only other element on this card is a strip of Oh So Ombre DSP from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

For more Old Olive inspiration please head to Cathy's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

All of the products I have used for tonight's card are listed below and most are in our Jan to June Mini Catalogue. If you live in Australia and do not have a demonstrator, contact me and I will send you a copy of both these new catalogues.

Thank you for visiting,

Happy stamping,

Rachel
