Colour Creations Blog Hop week 44 - Real Red Rainbow

 


Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 44 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Fabulous Stampin' Up ! colours in alphabetical order. This week it's time for some Real Red inspiration.

I got the idea to do a rainbow paint smear of flowers when I saw the cute little paint brush in the Trusty Tools Bundle. 


I cut lots of flowers from Real Red, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight card stock from the Sentimental Park Dies and the Paper Florist Dies. I cut the leaves from Garden Green using the Timeless Arrangements Dies.

So that I could get a nice even smear shape I cut a mask using one of the Basic Borders Dies. I adhered this to the Soft Sea Foam card base with a small amount of Washi Tape.


I arranged the flowers and leaves in colour order and then adhered them with Multipurpose Glue and Glue Dots.


In some of the larger flowers I placed some retired Pearls and Opal Rounds. The greeting from the Throughout The Year stamp set was stamped in Basic White card stock and was cut out with a Deckled Rectangle Die.


The paintbrush was coloured with my Blends Markers.

I love how this card turned out, although in hindsight I think I would have done a bit more to the background piece, maybe embossing or background stamping.

All of the products used to make this card are available from my online store.

Now it's time for the next stop in our blog hop. Please continue around the blog hop for lots of amazing Real Red inspiration. Next up is Andrea Sargent.

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

Thanks for visiting,we'll be back next week with Shaded Spruce projects.

Happy stamping,

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 43 Pumpkin Pie Stippled Roses

 



Hello stamping friends, it’s time for week 43 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the wonderful Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order and this week we are up to Pumpkin Pie, a lovely orange colour in our Regals colour family.
For tonight’s card I used the Stippled Roses stamp set from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.


I stamped the main rose image in Basic Grey and coloured it with my Blends Markers. The colours I used were Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.


The gorgeous DSP I used for the background is from the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP, from the Jan to April mini catalogue. Along the right side of the card I put a strip of one of the other DSP from the same pack.

I added some leaf sprigs in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock.

The greeting is from the Throughout The Year stamp set. I love this greeting and many of the others from this set, it’s a very versatile set.
All of the products used to make this card are from Stampin' Up! and are available from my online Stampin' Up! store.


Now it's time see what amazing project my stamping friend Kate Morgan has to share with us.

Doggone Friendly

 Hi stamping friends, here's a card for dog lovers. I have used the Doggone Friendly background stamp from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.

I stamped the image on Basic White card stock and coloured a few sections with my Blends Markers. I coloured the scarves and collars in Real Red and the tongues in Flirty Flamingo. The few name tags were coloured in Daffodil Delight.

I cut the top row or two of dogs off the top of the image and down both edges. I adhered this smaller image onto a Basic Black card base.


The greeting from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set was embossed in white embossing powder.
Please contact me with any questions.

Happy stamping,
