Week 37 - Colour Creations Showcase - Pretty Peacock

 

 
Hello Everyone and welcome to week 37 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Pretty Peacock the is one of the 2019 - 2021 in colors and will be retiring in a few short weeks time :( 
I have chosen to make a Get-well card for my mum as she is in hospital after breaking her hip last week. She has had to have a hip replacement and will be in hospital for about 6 weeks in all. So when I go and visit her next I will take this card and a lovely bunch of flowers to her.
 

 I started my card with a Pear Pizzazz card base and added the Pretty Peacock layer, I then used to So Sentimental bundle to cut out the scalloped rectangle and then added the DSP from the Forever Fern range. I placed all of this onto dimensionals and then added the gold foil strip of the sentiment to sit on. I also used the gold fern specialty paper for the lovely fern in the left-hand top corner and then added some gold enamel dots to finish off the front.


My insert is very simple I used the forever fern stamp set along with the Hotdogs stamp set for my message and leaves. the words of Encouragement  I thought were very fitting for my mum.

Week 36 - Colour Creations Showcase - Poppy Parade

 

Hello and Welcome to week 36 of the Colour Creations Showcase by the Art with Heart Team Australia.

This week our colour is Poppy Parade and very bright Red and part of the Brights Collection of Colours. I have chosen a fairly simple card for this week and yet it's a card that a beginner through to advance crafter could make. I call it an Abstract Card.


I made this style of card when my mum was up a few weeks ago as she needed a Male card and wanted something a little different. So I know this can look just as good as a male card as well as this female version.  I started out with a Blushing Bride card blank and add the Poppy Parade layer followed by another Blushing Bride. My DSP is from the Flowers for Every Season set and I layered that onto the Poppy Parade. After find the best angle I then stamped my Sentiment Using the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and added some basic pearls to Finish off the front of the card.


My insert is very plain with just the Poppy Parade layered onto white card. all my Stamping was done in Poppy Parade. I love the simplicity of this card and yet it can look so stunning.

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to week 35 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Pool Party.  Pool Party is part of the  Subtles Collection and is a beautiful aqua marine colour, that is why I chose to make a card using the Whale Done Bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I also used the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper as well. 


I started my card using a Pool Party card Base and added a Pretty Peacock Layer and then some of the see view designer series Paper I then stamped the turtle and whale and cut them out. I finished the front of my card with the sentiment Whale Done. I mounted them all onto Dimensionals to give the Whimsical look. 


My insert was stamped using Pretty Peacock and Pool Party Ink using the fishes and seaweed. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020-2021 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.

Week 34 Colour Creations Showcase - Petal Pink

 

Hello and Welcome to my Blog. This week in the Art with Heart Team Australia Showcase we are using Petal Pink. Well this is really not one of my favourite colours. I do like pink by for me this one is a big wishy washy. Petal Pink is part of the Subtles collections. This week I have done a very simple card using the layering rectangles and the Prized Peony bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I layered my Peony Garden DSP between Smoky Slate Card stock to give a layered effect. I then added a sentiment and cut out peony flower that I coloured using the Stampin Blend Combo pens to the front. I think it needs more but unsure what?

My insert I layered with smoky slate and white card before added a small piece of DSP down one side for extra interest.
