Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 34 Pear Pizzazz

 


Woo, hoo! I finally got myself organised to join another Colour Creations Blog Hop. Between being away with sketchy internet and the horridly hot weather in Melbourne I lost my way.
This week we are featuring Pear Pizzazz, a lovely mellow green that is part of our Subtles Colour Family. I have taken a few liberties with tonight's cards as although they both include Pear Pizzazz, it is not the featured colour. 
To make these cards I used the Butterflies and Flowers Layering Decorative Masks which are available in our new Jan to June Mini Catalogue.


For all of the butterflies I used Flirty Flamingo for the base colour, with a Blending Brush and the open butterfly mask. I then used the detailed mask and Polished Pink and Calypso Coral ink over the top.


I added the leaves in Pear Pizzazz by using the leaf sprigs in the third mask. Don't tell anyone, but this was a great way to cover up any whoopsies that occurred when I didn't completely cover up the unwanted masks when colouring the butterflies :) .


The background for this card was coloured with Misty Moonlight ink and the floral mask shown above. There are two other background masks in the pack.


To add some texture to the card I punched some sprigs using the Sprig Punch and Pear Pizzazz card stock and attached them around the butterfly.
The greeting for this card is from the Special Moments stamp set.

Same process for the second card, just a different layout. The bottom butterfly uses the same colors as the first, the top butterfly has flowers blended in Polished Pink only.


This greeting is a combination of the Biggest Wish and Artistically Ink stamp sets and is stamped in Polished Pink.

Now it's time to see what the amazingly talented Cathy Proctor has to share with us.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase Week 26 - Merry Merlot

 




Hello, I'm back with another week of the Colour Creation Showcase. For week 26 we are featuring Merry Merlot. Merry Merlot is in the Neutrals colour family and is usually a colour I use on my Christmas cards. 


For this showcase I decided use one of the pre order sets I purchased from the up coming Stampin' Up! Jan to June Mini Catalogue. The Art Gallery Bundle includes the Art Gallery stamp set and the Floral Gallery Dies. The stamp set is a two step stamp set with numerous brushstroke style images and 9 lovely greetings. The dies cut out all of the floral images and the words 'Just Want To Say'.

As I started to play with this set I decided to stamp three different level cards that would be appropriate for my beginner, casual and avid stamping customers.


This card is for my beginner stampers. I stamped the large petal stamp in Rococo Rose and then the coordinating smaller stamp in Merry Merlot. These stamps are photopolymer(clear) so that it is easy to stamp one stamp on top of the other.

The stem is stamped in Old Olive and the greeting is also stamped in Merry Merlot.


I used the same stamps and colours on my second card for casual stampers, but I added a couple of extra steps. I cut the floral image with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached it to the Merry Merlot card base with Dimensionals.


The greeting was cut with one of the Floral Gallery Dies and attached on a small piece of Fine Art Ribbon, which is also in the upcoming catalogue. 


For the Avid stamper card I added another few steps. Again I used the same stamps and colours for the flower. I then cut out the flower with the coordinating die.


The card base is Merry Merlot again. The first layer is a Stitched Rectangle from Pool Party card stock. The second layer is a larger Stitched Rectangle in Whisper White. I placed this piece in the matching Painted Texture 3D embossing folder that I had inked with my Pool Party ink pad. This embossing folder is also available in the Jan to June Mini Catalogue.


I applied the ink directly to the embossing folder.


The greeting was stamped in Merry Merlot and cut with one of the Floral Gallery Dies. Again I used the Fine Art Ribbon that I tied around the embossed piece.


For more Merry Merlot inspiration head to Cathy's blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

Happy stamping,

Rachel
