Colour Creations Blog Hop week 12 - Blueberry Bushel Tools

 

Hello stamping friends, it's time for week 12 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Blueberry Bushel, a wonderfully deep, rich blue.

For this week's card I had a lovely time water colouring some tools. I used the Trusty Toolbox stamp set to randomly stamp hammers, tape measures and paint brushes on a piece of Fluid 100 Water Color Paper.

The colours I used were Blueberry Bushel, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie.

I got the large Water Painter very wet with a Blueberry Bushel mix and tapped it over the water colour paper to create the splatters.

Happy Father's Day is stamped in Blueberry Bushel and DAD is heat embossed in white embossing powder.

Next person in our blog hop is my fabulous stamping friend Andrea Sargent.

If you encounter any issues with the links in our hop please head to Cathy's blog, as she is the amazing host of our Colour Creations Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Please return next week when we will be featuring Boho Blue.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 19 - Trucking Along

 

Hello there, welcome to week 19 of the Colour Creations Showcase 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 my favourite and most used Neutral Colour, Crumb Cake.

I started with a piece of Crumb Cake card stock and used Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Misty Moonlight inks with one of the Foursquare Masks and Blending Brushes. 

As the piece of card stock is longer than the mask I had to colour/blend the top half then preposition the mask on the lower half to continue colouring.

I stamped the three utes in Stazon Ink on Crumb Cake card stock. The first layer I added to the utes was White Craft Ink, added with a Blending Pen. Once the white was dry I added the different colour inks with a Water Colour Pen.

I punched each image out with the Trucking Along Builder Punch. These were attached to shapes cut out using the Nested Essentials Dies using Dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Artistically Inked stamp set and is heat embossed in White on Real Red Cardstock.

You can see a peek of the inside of the card where I added an off cut of the shaded cardstock to a piece of Crumb Cake card stock.

All of the products used here are available from my online store.

Now it's time to see what my amazingly talented stamping friend Christine Blain has to share with us.

Please come back next week when we are featuring Crushed Curry.

On the Fifth Day of Lock Down.....

 On the fifth day of lock down I found out that there is going to be another week of lock down, at least! Oh well the weather is not good for doing anything else so why not stay home and make more cards :)

Today's card uses the same bundle as yesterday's, Merriest Moments. For this card I used the outline die and the embossing folder.

The die fits exactly inside the embossing folder. 

When you insert a sheet of card stock and run it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine you can cut and emboss at the same time.

Once this was done I coloured the foliage with a Water Painter and inks in Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce.

The poinsettia flowers are stamped in Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry and the leaves are in Mossy Meadow.

The center panel is Mossy Meadow card stock and the greeting is heat embossed in white emboss powder.

The back ground is Pear Pizzazz card stock that has been embossed with the Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder. The card base is Mossy Meadow.

The Merriest Moments Bundle is available after the 3rd of August in the upcoming Mini Catalogue.

Thanks for visiting, come back tomorrow for our Colour Creations Blog Hop.

Happy stamping,

Rachel
