Week 6 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Balmy Blue

Hi and Welcome to week 6 of the colour creations blog-hop. We have now finished all of the 2022-2024 In-colors so we well be starting on the regular colours in Alphabetical order. Starting with Balmy Blue. I have chosen to do my card with a bundle that is retiring at the end of June, Called Love & Happiness. 

 

I started my card with a Balmy Blue card base and added a Night of Navy layer. I then used a white layer to embossed with the Hybrid Embossing folder. I then used the dies to cut out the Heart from the centre. Using my blending brushes I coloured to Heart with Night of Navy Ink and the outer embossed area with Balmy Blue Ink. I place the larger section onto Dimensionals and the heart was glued down flat. I stamped my tag from the same stamp set in Night of Navy. With the flowers I stamped them onto some Basic White card using the Night of Navy Ink and then coloured them using the Balmy Blue Blends, Light and Dark. I layered these onto the front of the card. Then I Stamped the leaves from Forever Fern Set using Mossy Meadow and cut them out with the matching dies. I finished off the front with some Basic Rhinestones.

My insert was using the 2 for mentioned sets for the Sentiment and the flowers. I then coloured the flower in the same way as I did for the front of the card. Layering this onto another Night of Navy card and gluing to the inside of the card. All the items used in this project are current at the time of publication, but the Love & Happiness bundle will be retiring at the end of June 2022 so if you haven't already purchased this set and would like it please don't waste time as it is only available while stocks last.

Week 22 Colour Creations Blog - Hop Highland Heather

 

Hi Everyone, Wow can you believe we are at the end of October 2021 already. Well Week 22 brings a Lovely colour for us to use it's called Highland Heather and it's such a lovely soft purple colour. I thought that I would make a card for my Sister In-Law for her birthday I bet you can't tell by my card what date is her Birthday.

That's right the 12th of November. hehehe. I have had this stamp set for a while and this is the first time I have used it. It took me a while to line up like I wanted it, but once it was done I was happy. So this is the Days to Remember Stamp set on page 18 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. I used the Happy Birthday from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set on page 97 of the Same Catalogue. and my flower as from the Flowers of Friendship Bundle on page 78. 

So I started with the Highland Heather card base and added a Basic White layer and the DSP from the Hand-Penned DSP pack (I love this pack). I stamped my flowers and then punched them out, before gluing them together. I added the Basic pearls and coloured them for the centres of the flowers.

They look a little blue but I coloured them with the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen. For my insert I stamped that large flower from the same stamp set as the from flowers and coloured this in as well and then added a small sentiment of Best Wishes.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase. Thank you for taking the time to read my Blog. I know that my Sister In-law (Anne) will love her card is purple is her favourite colour.
