Week 38 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Parakeet Party

 

Hello and welcome to week 38 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week our feature colour is Parakeet Party. This is one of the 2022-2024 Incolours, and it will be finishing up it's stay with us in April this year. Although green is my favourite colour I couldn't take to this one very much. So I have found it hard to work with. But I decided to team it up with Night of Navy and I really like how these two colours work together.

I used the Parakeet Party for my card base and added the night of navy layer. I then embossed a white layer using the Layered Floral 3d Folder. I placed the parakeet party ink pad onto the white card to highlight some of the raised image.  I then made my Faux Pinwheel using the DSP from the Countryside Inn pack. Picking up on the Night of Navy, and finishing off the centre with the flower form the Paper Florist die set. 

I carried over the layering on the inside of the card and did all of my stamping in Parakeet Party. The stamp set used for the sentiments is from the Pansy Patch set.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue and the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the items used please feel free to contact me via email or text.

Week 3 Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2022-2023 Starry Sky

 

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to another year of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop.

 

This week we have Starry Sky, it's a beautiful Dark Blue Sky colour and I just think it's so nice. I have chosen to make a fancy fold card called "Drop Flap Easel Card". I started my card with a Starry Sky card base and added a Blushing Bride layer followed by the New Incolor DSP in Starry Sky. I cut the front angle of my card using the Basic Border Dies, I did this on all the layers. I used the off cuts to layer together and form my stopper. I then punch out the Oval from the Double Oval punch and made it into a saucer for my cup. The cups come from the Cup of Tea Bundle. I stacked them up and added the leaves to the top cup. Placing little tea bag tags hanging over the cups and one on the stopped. The butterflies are from the Butterfly Brilliance set.

For my insert I stamped the same leaves along the bottom and just a sentiment, keeping it simple. I'm really loving this card design and have also made a few others not using the incolors.

All the items used in this project are current and in the New Annual Catalogue that went live on the 3rd April 2022. If you would like to know more about these product or the New Annual Catalogue please feel free to give me a Call, email or PM so that I might help you.
