Colour Creations week 20 Granny Apple Green

Welcome to week 20 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week the Art With Heat Team are featuring Granny Apple Green, which belongs in our Brights family of colours.

This week I thought a bright, funky green needed to feature on a bright, funky card. I have paired Granny Apple Green with Poppy Parade and Basic Black. I know that this colour scheme is a bit different for traditional Christmas colours but I thought it suited the colour.

I used the Pine Tree Punch to cut one tree from a sheet of Granny Apple Green from the 6"x6" Brights DSP Pack, another from one of the sheets from the Pattern Play Hostess DSP and the third is also from the Pattern Play DSP but I have used a Blending Brush and Granny Apple Green ink to colour one of the black and white patterns, as shown below.

The strip across the center of the card is a piece of Poppy Parade DSP, also from the 6"x6" Brights DSP Pack.

The border either side is Black Glitter Paper using the Basic Borders Dies.

I also used the Black Glitter Paper to cut 3 small stars using the Christmas Tree Dies to go on the top of the Christmas Trees.

The greeting is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set and has been heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on Basic Black card stock.

What do you think? Is it still Christmassy enough?

Definitely not my usual colours but it's good to step outside your usual box sometimes.

For more Granny Apple Green inspiration it's time to head over to see what the very talented Theresa Gerrard has to share with us.

Art With Heart Colour Creations - week 25 Melon Mambo

I'm back with week 25 of the Color Creations Showcase with the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring Melon Mambo which is a lovely deep pink in our Brights Color Family.

I have just received a couple of preorder stamp sets, that as a demonstrator I was allowed to order early from the upcoming Jan to June Mini and the Sale-a-Bration brochure. I love being a demonstrator, especially when it comes with all these perks. Contact me if you would like more information on becoming a demonstrator.

Now, back to the stamping. For this card I inked up one of the sets that will be available for free during our Sale-a-bration sale that starts in January, called Darling Donkeys. Aren't they cute?

I stamped in Memento Black ink on Whisper White card stock and coloured with Blends Markers. He has a Melon Mambo rose in his mouth. All the colours used are listed at the end of the post. Then I very carefully fussy cut the donkey.

The donkey is mounted on a heart of Basic Black card stock from the Stitched Be Mine dies. The greeting is also from the Darling Donkeys stamp set.

I'm not sure that Camouflage patterns really go with donkeys, especially when they are pink, but...they do now. I mounted the Camouflage stamp on my Stamparatus so that I could ink in Melon Mambo and stamp the image more than once if I needed to, and I did, to get and even coverage.

The mat is Basic Black and the card base is Thick Whisper White.

As these donkeys are a preorder they are not on the list below, but all of the other supplies I used to make this card are.

Thank you for visiting, for more Melon Mambo inspiration head to Cathy's blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art of Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 17 - Garden Green

Another week, another Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase, this week featuring Garden Green. Garden Green is in the Regals colour family and is a lovely mid green colour, not light, not dark somewhere in between.

It took me ages to decide what to create for this week. Finally I was swayed by the 24hr sale today. I wanted to use one of the sets in the sale, so I decided to use My Meadow. This is a great set to inspire your creativity. The scenes you can create are limitless.

I stamped the scene on the front of a card base of Thick Whisper White card stock.

I used Pear Pizzazz for the base of the scene. The tree trunks are Early Espresso and the bridge is Soft Suede.

The grass and leaves are a combination of Old Olive and Garden Green. The river is Balmy Blue and the clouds are Smoky Slate. The birds are stamped in Soft Suede.
