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.

Colour Creations - Pretty Peacock

Hi Everyone, Here we are again with another of the 2019 - 2021 In Colours and this one is called "Pretty Peacock" and it is a lovely peacock bluey/green colour. I really don't think my photo's do it justice. This week I did struggle a bit with finding just the right elements for my card but this is what I came up with (I hope you like it).

 

I used the nesting dies from the Free as a Bird bundle and cut out the 2nd smallest one several times and layered them onto some Silver Foil Sheet with a rather large gap between them and the glued this to a white card base (not sure the white works well) but the pretty peacock didn't look right either.

I then stamped the flowers from the Floral Essence bundle on the vellum and punched them out, I added faceted gems to the centres of the flowers to finish them off. I then stamped my sentiment using Versa Mark and silver Embossing powder I place the tag onto the front of the card using dimensionals and then punched out the smallest butterfly from the Butterfly Gale punch and added this to the tag.

 

For the inside of the card I used a Pretty Peacock layer and white and did my stamping in Pretty Peacock ink. Simple but effective. All the items used in this project can be found in the New 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase all and any of the product for this project please give me either a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Colour Creations - Mango Melody

Hi Everyone, Here we are at week 27 of the colour creations hop. This week the colour is Mango Melody, what a lovely colour even though I don't like mango's. I have made this card for my friend Frances whose Birthday in on the 17th December, and as she loves flower and has such a green thumb I thought she would like this one.

I decided to start with a Basic Gray card base and added the Slate Gray as my first layer I then added 3 more layers to the front of the card in Copper Glimmer paper, Mango Melody and Vellum. I used the Beautiful Day Stamp set and stamped the flower using versa mark and Silver Embossing powder. Then coloured in the flower using the Mango Melody Blender pens. I placed the Vellum layer of the Mango Melody layer using glue dots and place the 3 layers on an angle to add to the feature. I placed the faceted gems over where the glue dot were so that you can't see them, and stamped the Happy Birthday on the gray layer using Basic Gray ink.

For my insert I used Whisper White and stamped the flower again along with my sentiment and then used my marker pens to colour in the flower. I added the strip of glimmer paper to finish it off.
All the items used in the project can be found in the 2018 - 2019 Annual Catalogue Except for the Copper Glimmer Paper that is found in the 2018 Holiday Catalogue that ends on the 2nd January 2019. If you would like to purchase any or all of these items please phone or email me so that I can help you.
