Week 33 Colour Creations Showcase - Pear Pizzazz

 

Hello and Welcome to week 33 of the Colour Creations Showcase. Here we are at the end of January 2021 already where is the time going. This week our colour is Pear Pizzazz, another green and as you all know I love green so I really had fun making this card. I used the New Darling Donkeys from SALE-A-BRATION  and these little donkeys are growing on me. I started my card this week with a Pear Pizzazz card base and added a Mossy Meadow layer and the DSP layer from the Forever Greenery. I then added 3 circles 2 scalloped and 1 white I stamped the donkey onto the white layer and then coloured him using Smoky Slate blend combo pens. I added some ribbon and a few Holiday Rhinestones and the word HEE HAW! to finish off the front of the card.

I carried the donkeys over to the inside of the card with a white layer that I sponged around the edge with Pear Pizzazz and stamped my Sentiment and added the sitting donkey that I also coloured. All of these items can be found in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue and the SALE-A-BRATION Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, email or PM, but be quick as SALE-A-BRATION ends on the 28th February 2021 and you can only claim these donkeys with a $90AU Order from the current Annual and or 2021 Mini Catalogue.

Week 32 Colour Creations Showcase - Pacific Point

 

Hello everyone and welcome to another colour creations showcase from the Art with Heart Team here in Australia. This week our colour is Pacific Point a beautiful blue colour from the Brights Collection. I must admit I did have trouble with this colour I couldn't think of anything to make so I CASED the Catalogue Page 81 of the annual catalogue. with my own touch of course. I started out with a white card base and added a Pacific point layer. I then stamped the image from the Posted For You onto a white card layers and using the Old Olive Blend I coloured the leaves. I then used my Blending Brush and Pacific Point ink pad to colour the flowers. In this way they are not coloured perfectly and I loved the way this turned out.

I then cut a couple of strip for my sentiment and layered these together before cutting our 2 scalloped circles to layer under the sentiment. I finished off the front with some Holiday Rhinestones. for my insert I again layered my pacific point onto a white card and stamped Happy Birthday and 2 more of the flowers, that I coloured in the same way as on the front of the card.
All the Items used in this project can be found in the Annual 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any of all of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 31 Colour Creations Showcase - Old Olive

 

Hello and Welcome to week 31 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. Our colour this week is Old Olive, and being green is my favourtie colour I found this one easy to work with. This is such a lovely colour green not to dark and not to light. I decided I would use the Forever Fern stamp set this week as I had purchased it some time ago and have not got around to using it. 

I started off this a White card base and added a layer in Old Olive, I then took another white layer and using the new blending Brushes and Old Olive ink I very lightly coloured around the edges and then into the centre before running it through my Embossing machine using the Subtle Embossing folder. I then used the layering scalloped rectangles from the So Sentimental Bundle to cut out the panels for the front of the card and layered them using white, which I also blended using the brush and Old Olive ink. I then Stamped my Images from the Forever Fern onto these. I mounted all the rectangles onto dimensionals and placed them onto the front of the card. I added 3 gems from the Holiday gems to finish it off.

For my insert I layered Old Olive card onto White and stamped my sentiment and ferns before blending around the edges once again using the new Blending Brushes.  All the items used in this project can be found in the Annual and 2021 Mini Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these products please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 30 Colour Creations Showcase - Night of Navy

 

Welcome everyone and a Happy New Year to you all.

Yes we are back and carrying on where we left off on the 16th December 2020. This week our colour is Night of Navy.  Being part of the Neutrals collection this beautiful navy blue is just perfect to a male card. So with that in mind I decided I would use the Well Suited Bundle and even though I made this card before Christmas as my Husbands birthday was on the 20th, I thought this would be great to this weeks project as well.

Not that I see my husband in a suit very often. But this just seemed the right time to give him a hint (when you take me out somewhere special wear a suit)......lol   Not going to happen.

I used the Night of Navy for that base of the card as well as the shirt and the DSP from the same suite for the tie and jacket. The carnation I made using the layering circles. I cut 5 circles and then wet them and scrunched them up then laid them flat before using a brad to hold them all together. I then used a marker to give the edges of the flowers some colour and then sprayed them with water once again and scrunched them up again leaving them to dry in that shape.

I stamped the inside using Night of Navy using the bow ties and my sentiment from the same set and then coloured in the bow ties using Balmy Blue. As this card was made before the showcase I can tell you he really loved it. So I was really happy about that.

You will find this bundle in the new January - June 2021 Mini Catalogue along with so many other beautiful new sets. If you would like to purchase the items used in this project please give me a Call, Email or PM me so that I can help you with your purchase.
