Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 3 - Bermuda Bay

Welcome to the third week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase, this week featuring Bermuda Bay.

The colour combination I have used on my card is below.

I'm a bit concerned that it is only mid June and I have made my first Christmas card already. I'm blaming the beautiful Arrange A Wreath Bundle that is new in the 2020-21 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. This bundle appealed to me immediately as I think it will be useful for cards for numerous occasions.

I used Bermuda Bay card stock for the wreath, which I cut out twice. The third wreath was cut from Vellum card stock. The poinsettias are cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock, twice for each flower. I placed five small rhinestones in the center of each poinsettia.

The background Pretty Peacock card stock was embossed with the Scripty 3D embossing folder. This layer was then matted on a piece of Silver Foil paper.

The greeting was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder onto a scrap of Pretty Peacock card stock. The ribbon bow was attached with a couple of Glue Dots.

I'm off to play further with this set, perhaps something using the partridge or the smaller flowers.

Happy stamping,
Rachel

Art With Heart Colour Creations week 2 - Basic Gray

Hello stampers and welcome to another week of the Colour Creations Showcase with the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring Basic Gray. Basic Gray is a wondeful Neutrals colour as it co ordinates with any colour. I've teamed it with Rococo Rose, Purple Posy, Soft Sea Foam and a tiny bit of Old Olive.

The stamp set I have used this week is Bloom and Grow, with it's matching dies called Budding Blooms. The cut the edge of the Whisper White piece I have used the Ornate Border Dies, which are new in the Stampin' Up! 2020-21 Catalogue.

The greeting is from Borders Abound, which is also new. I have added small amounts of Wink of Stella to the centers of the flowers and the small buds to add a bit of sparkle to the card.

The White Polka Dot Tulle has been coloured with a Purple Posy Blends Marker to co ordinate with the card. I love being able to colour our ribbons with Blends Markers, it means it's much easier to find a ribbon to match our projects.

Happy stamping,

Rachel
