Week 45 - Seaside Spray - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Wow we are at week 45 only 5 more colours to go........but wait we are going to be showcasing the NEW INCOLORS for 2021-2023 so there are new 10 more colours to come.

This week we have Seaside Spray this is one of the colours that is retiring on the 3rd May 2021 I will be sad to see this go as I really love this beautiful pale blue. So I have showcased this with some DSP that is also retiring on the same day. 

I started my card with a Pacific Point card base and added a white layer that I embossed using the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder. I then added a seaside spray layer and my DSP layer from the Ornate Garden Specialty paper I used my blending brush to colour the paper using the Seaside Spray ink pad. I place a ribbon also in the Seaside Spray around the layers and tied a bow. I cut out 2 ovals 1 in Pacific Point and the other in white and layered them together I then cut out the LOVE from the Forever and Always dies the main wording I cut using Gold Foil Sheet. 

I kept my insert very plain by only stamping the word form the same Forever and Always bundle but I stamped the flowers from the Dragonfly Garden Bundle. I used my marker pens to colour the flowers and leaves as they are so small and didn't need to be blended. 

I know we don't have much time to purchase some of these items but if you would like to purchase them of any others please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase. To catch all the other lovely projects using Seaside Spray please head over to Catherine's Page Here-:

Week 42 - Colour Creations Showcase - Rococo Rose

Hello All and Welcome to week 42 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. We are now getting to the pointy end of the colours and this week I we have Rococo Rose. I love this colour unfortunately it will be leaving us this year as this colour is from the 2019-2021 In-color Range. Being a beautiful Dusty Rose I find it so easy to work with.

As it's my Mum's Birthday this Saturday 3rd I thought I would make a lovely card for her to cheer her up. She is still in hospital as she has had to have a 2nd hip replacement as the 1st one didn't work. not a nice way to spend your 89th birthday that's for sure. Plus we can't all visit as you are only allowed 2 visitor per day. I started my card with a Rococo Rose Card base and added my layers starting with Just Jade and then the Butterfly Brilliance DSP I then added a flower from the Always and Forever bundle and a Silver Butterfly also from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. I stamped my Message and layered using more Rococo Rose card and White and finished off the front with Gold Enamel dots.

For my writing panel on the back I stamped the flower and YOU SO VERY MUCH and cut out the LOVE from the Always and Forever bundle and I think this says it all. 

It's sad to see so many of these items retiring so soon but I know I will be using them for quite some time yet.

Week 39 - Colour Creations Showcase - Purple Posy

 

Hello and welcome to week 39 of the Colour Creations Showocase. This week we are showcasing the beautiful 2019-2021 Incolor called Purple Posy. It's a really lovely soft purple and I will be sad to see it retired in just a few months time. I decided I would team this up with the next shade of purple in our colour range Highland Heather, as I think they go together really well.

I started my project using a Highland Heather card base and layered with a Purple Posy and True love DSP I then added the Scalloped linen ribbon in Purple Posy as well. I then stamped my flowers from the Forever & Always bundle and using the blends in both light and dark coloured the flowers and leaves. before cutting them out. I mounted them onto the card front using dimensionals and added a touch of Wink of Stella to the flowers. I then cut out the word Love in Highland Heather and Purple Posy and mounted them together on the front of the card I stamped the work YOU using Highland Heather and added some Pastel Pearls to finish off the front of the card.

My insert is  comprised of a Purple Posy layer and a white layer that I stamped the words FOREVER & on Highland Heather I then cut out the words Always and glued them together to place on the inside I also stamped, coloured and cut out the smaller flower to glue inside. I just thought the inside of this card needed to be eye popping as well as the front. All the items used in the project can be found in the Annual 2020-2021 Catalogue or the 2021 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any of all of these products please give me a call, email or PM so that I might help you with your purchase.
