Week 49 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Sweet Sorbet

 

Hello and welcome to week 49 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Only one more week to go and we have done the full rounds of all the colours. This week we have another retiring Incolour called Sweet Sorbet. I have loved this colour and used it often. But once again I decided to use some other product that I know are retiring along with this colour. But I have also used one of the new stamps from the New  2024-25 Annual catalogue.

 This card like most of mine I started with this week feature colour Sweet Sorbet for my base card. I then stamped using the same colour ink the lovely Leaf Collection stamp. You will find this on page 90 of the New 24-25 Annual Catalogue. I think it really look lovely in Sweet Sorbet. I then added a small piece of Vellum to the front of my card and Stamped the Koala from the Wild & Sweet stamp set onto another small piece of Basic White. Unfortunately this set will also be retiring on April 30th 2024. I then coloured in the image using my blend pens, he looks so sweet. I attached this to the Vellum and added some Silver Foil leave from the Natures Note Bundle. (This set is also retiring). I stamped my sentiment from the Grassy Grove stamp set (not retiring) and added a small piece of bakers twine as a bow and some Brushed Metallic dot to finish off the front of the card.

As is my way I kept the inside of the card simple just stamping the grass and sentiment for the Grassy Grove stamp set, onto Basic White card. I really love the way with card turned out even the leave in Sweet Sorbet really pop.

 If you would like to know more about these product (even the retiring one's) please feel free to contact me. All retiring product will retire on the 30th April 2024.

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. If you would like to know more about this technique or the items used, please feel free to contact me via email, PM or phone.
