Week 33 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Old Olive

 

Hello and welcome to the last Colour Creations Blog-Hop for 2022, we will all be back in the New Year to finish off the colour pallet. Starting up again on the 4th January 2023. But until then here we are featuring Old Olive. As you would all know by now Green is my Favourite colour so I really didn't have any trouble with is one. I decided I would use the lovely Grassy Grove Stamp Set, that you will find on page 84 of the Annual Catalogue. I started with a Basic White card base and added a Old Olive layer and then I stamped my scene on another piece of Basic White.

I started with the sun and the Blending Brushes using Daffodil Delight and then some Balmy Blue for the sky area. I then used some torn paper and the Blending Brushes to form the hills using Old Olive ink pad. Once I was happy with them I then added a little extra to give a deeper green. I stamped the tree in the same colour and using a small brush I added a little Flirty Flamingo behind the trees so that it looked like the sun shining through them. Finishing off the front with the grassy stamp and the Dear that I stamped in Soft suede. To give a bit of sparkle to the card I used my Wink of Stella on the trees as well. 

Keeping my insert simple I layered some more Basic White onto Old Olive and just stamped some more trees in the bottom corner. All in other stamping was done using Momento Ink.  All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue.

Week 32 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Night of Navy

 

Hello and welcome to week 32 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week our feature colour is called Night of Navy, and as the name suggests this colour is a lovely Navy Blue. So I thought I would make a lovely stepper card to show off all of the lovely colours.


I started with Night of Navy for the card base and I added Melon Mambo and using Hues of Happiness DSP to show up all of the squares on this card. I also added the same layers to the square on the top of the steps and on the back of the card.

 I finished off my card front with a flower from the same DSP and stamped Friend from that matching stamp set. popping these all up of the lovely Decorative Circle Punch and the Double Oval Punch. the embellishments are from the Glossy Dots Assortment. On the back of the card I added a larger square for my writing panel. All the stamping was done in Night of Navy. This card folds flat and will fit into a regular envelope.

 All the products used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the card, please feel free to contact me via email, Phone or PM so that I can help you.
