Week 7 Colour Creations Blog- Hop - Basic Gray

 

Hello and welcome to the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. We are an Australian group that are working through the colour pallet of the Stampin' Up! Colours. We started with the 2022-2024 Incolors and now we are working through all of the other colours in the range in Alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Basic Gray. Basic Gray is part of the Neutrals Collection of colour groups. Not one that I personally use a lot. But it is really nice to be pushed out of my comfit zone. So here is my card.

I started with a smoky slate card base and added the Basic gray as my layers. I then added some DSP from the retiring Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalogue Called Symbols of Fortune. This is Smoky Slate and Gold. Very pretty. I then used the Forever Flourishing dies to add my leaves to the front of the card. Finishing off the front with Evening Evergreen ribbon and gems.

This is a Side Pillar card so I added the layers on the sides and end panel so that the pattern flowed all the way around.

The back of the card is where you write your message. So once again I layered with Basic Gray and then on my Basic White I stamped using Basic Gray ink. I stamped the leaves from the Forever Fern Stamp set along with my sentiment. This is a different style of card and I was pleased with how it turned out. It's a bit larger than normal being a 7 x 5 inch size, but I think it would look wrong being smaller.

All the items are current at the time of this blog going live. But the DSP will be retiring on the 30th June 2022. If you would like to know more about this fold or the product used please feel free to give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 43 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Smoky Slate

 

Hi Everyone, Welcome to week 42 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. We are featuring Smoky Slate this week. This colour is part of the Neutrals Collection and a lovely pale gray colour. I decided I would team it up with Basic Gray, also from the same collection but it's a darker gray. 

So I started with a Smoky Slate card base and added a Basic Gray layer I then added a DSP Layer from the Symbols of Fortune paper pack. Using the Soaring Swallows Bundle I stamped the 2 birds using Memento ink onto Smoky Slate card. I then used the Basic Gray to colour the wings. I cut out the birds using the dies. Mounting the birds onto the front of the card using dimensionals along with the sentiment tag. I finished off the front with Basic Rhinestones.

Very subtle in colours but I think it really brings out the birds nicely.

As always I kept the inside of my card plain, by just added a Basic Gray and Basic White layer of card. Stamping once again in Memento ink, I stamped my sentiment and another swallow.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and then Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product of would like to purchase them please feel free to contact me via email, PM or Phone.
