Week 12 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Calypso Coral

 

Hello and welcome to week 12 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring Calypso Coral. This Stampin' Up! Colour is part of the Subtles Collection. With a lovely Rusty Coral colour it's really veratile. I have chosen to mix a few product together for this card and I love the effect I got from the Embossing folder. So I started with an Old Olive card base and added a Calypso Coral layer that I had Embossed using the Wintery 3D Embossing Folder. I then lightly run my White Craft Ink Pad over the raised image so that it really stood out. 

I added a small Basic White layer that I placed a small piece of the Perfectly Penciled DSP on to and coloured the leaves using my Calypso Coral Marker Pen. I then added a piece of the lovely Glitter Washi Tape (This can be found in the new Mini Catalogue) I then stamped and coloured my Butterflies from the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set and Dies. My sentiment is from the Cottage Rose Stamp set and cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I finished off the front with the Brushed Metallic Dots and Wink of Stella on the butterflies wings.

The insert was a layer of Calypso Coral and Basic White card that I stamped in Calypso Coral Ink.  All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue or the July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue.

Week 34 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Pear Pizazz

 

Hello everyone and welcome to week 34 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Well this week we are featuring the colour Pear Pizzazz, it's a really lovely green colour (I know I'm a bit biassed as green is my favourite colour).  But really it is a lovely green and I have coupled it with another of the greens. Mossy Meadow.  I have seen the Whitewash technique done a few different ways and I thought I want to give this a go. So here is my version of this technique.

So starting with a pear Pizzazz card base I then added a Mossy Meadow layer. I then cut a 2nd layer in Pear Pizzazz and stamped it using the Prized Peony stamp set and Mossy Meadow Ink. I then cut another layer using one of the Scalloped Contour dies and then using the Stitched Rectangles I cut another Pear Pizzazz layer that once again I stamped from the Prized Peony stamp set.

I then started to colour the stamped images using the White Craft ink pad that I squeezed onto one of my stamp block so the the ink was covering it. Using the Blender Pens that come in a pack of 3 I picked up some of the ink and started to colour in the flower petals. I did this on both stamped images. on the top image I coloured the branch using the Bronze blends pen. I that stamped my sentiment and mounted this onto another layer so that the 2 greens were together even there. I attached the sentiment and the smaller layers to the front of the card using dimensionals. 

Finishing off the front of the card with the beautiful Iridescent Rhinestones and a little Wink of Stella. My insert I layered the Mossy Meadow with Basic White. I stamped another of the Prized Peony flowers in the bottom right-hand corner and left the rest of it clear without a sentiment.

 

I was really happy with the effect and I have since made 2 more cards using this technique in different colours. Everything used in this project except the Rhinestones can be found in the Annual 2021-2022 Catalogue. The Iridescent Rhinestone can be found in the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this technique or would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.
