Week 25 - Colour Creations Blog- Hop Mango Melody

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 25 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. If this is your first time here, we are counting down the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order and creating a project using each weeks featured colour. This week we are showcasing Mango Melody. A beautiful rich Orangy-Yellow and one of my favourite yellows in the colour pallet. It is part of the Brights collection it pairs  well with just about any colour. I have paired mine with Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.

I have used the Love of Leaves for my card and stamped them in Mango Melody, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay and them using my Water Painter I splattered the card with more Mango Melody ink. I then layered this onto a Mango Melody layer and then onto a Basic White card base. I added my sentiment to the front I layered the sentiment with Mango Melody and Bermuda bay card to make it stand out and to finish off the front of the card I added some Holiday rhinestones.

For the inside of the card I layered my Basic white onto Mango Melody and with a piece of the stamped image from the front that I trimmed off, I added this to the white layer. I stamped my sentiment and then added this all to the inside of the card. All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of the items, or would like to know more about Stampin' Up! in general please give me a Call, email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 24 Colour Creations Blog Hop - Magenta Madness

 

Hello and welcome to week 24 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour is Magenta Madness, this is one of the 2020-2022 Incolors and a very pretty pink. My card this week is one that I designed with inspiration form a few different card concepts that I had seen. I combined them together and came up with this one. That I call a Tag Pocket Card.

I started out with a Basic White card base and added my Magenta Madness layers and the some DSP from the Impressions in Ink range (This paper is so beautiful). I then used the Timeless Tulips stamp set featured on page 38 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. and stamped my tulips on the inside of my card, so that when the card is closed they show through to the front of the card. I then cut a tag using the Tailor Made Tags, and stamped this as well.


This tag could be used as a lovely book mark if you wished. I used the gold Shimmer ribbon for the top of the tag. I decided to make this into a get well card, and finished it off with a small gold butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and some Magenta Madness Enamel Dots. This is such a simple card and yet in the Magenta Madness looks so bright and cheery. 
All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, if you would like the purchase any of all of these product please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 23 Colour Creations - Blog-Hop Just Jade

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 23 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we have Just Jade for you and I know that there will be plenty of lovely projects to get you inspired. Just Jade is one of the 2020-2022 Incolors, so this will be finishing up at the end of the current Annual Catalogue period. What a shame as I really like it. Being in the green range of colours and green being my favourite colour I'm a bit partial to it and find green very easy to work with.

So this is my Card..... I started with a Just Jade card base and added a Basic White layer. I then took another Basic white layer and using the Artistically Inked Stamp set and my Just Jade ink pad I stamped my layer as follows. I started by stamping off twice to get the lightest shade, stamping randomly over the layer and then I inked up again and stamped off once for the next shade. I then finished off by stamping at full strength. I love the way this turned out. I have Frances McFaul to thank for showing me this technique and I really love it. I then added some leave from the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle from the Mini Catalogue. They are in Shaded Spruce, Just Jade and Gold Foil. I finished off the front with a Happy Birthday and small bow.

As I started off with a larger piece of card for my stamping on the front I cut this and added it to the inside of my card. I also stamped some leaves and sentiment all in Just Jade. For a Monochromatic card I think these tones work so will together and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I think I might try the same technique with an array of colours and see what it looks like.

All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the Aug-Dec 2021 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this technique or would like to purchase any or all of the products used in this projects please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.
