Colour Creations Blog Hop Bumblebee

 

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 7 of Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team in Australia. 

Each week there will be a Colour Creations blog hop showcasing Stampin' Up! Colors with a selection of members from the Art With Heart Team who will be joining in. I'm looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects using the Stampin' Up! Colors. You'll be able to hop around by clicking on the next link at the end of my blog.

The colour for tonight is Bumblebee which is part of the In Color Collection for 2020 - 2022 and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc....I've used Bumblebee with Basic White, Basic Black and Gold for my two handmade cards.

I have to confess that I only created these two cards this morning and I had no idea what I was going to create until I saw the striped Gold and White paper from the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper looking at me. I just had to use the Artistically Inked Bundle to go with the paper.

It's a cold wet day here in Melbourne and Bumblebee is the perfect colour to brighten up someone's day! For my first card I've used Shimmery White Cardstock, die cut out using the larger flower and leaves detailed die from the Artistic Dies. 

Then using a Water Painter I used the wide brush tip and applied Bumblebee Ink to the image. I also added another smaller section from the detailed die to the card.

I used a panel of Vellum to dull down the bold Gold and White paper leaving some exposed either side. The sentiment is stamped in Bumblebee Ink on a strip of Basic White Cardstock, layered over Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon.

As I still had lots of ideas in my head, I decided to create another card using a side strip of the Gold and White paper. This time I created water colour effect on watercolor paper. 

First I added water with the wide brush tip adding Bumblebee Ink and then I started blowing it with an ear syringe making the ink going in different directions. I would also dry the ink with the Heat Tool and then repeat the process. I've splattered Black Ink using the dark Stampin' Blend brush tip against the lid.

I've used Black/White Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack. I always love adding black and white to my projects when it comes to using any of the yellows from Stampin' Up! 

The sentiment in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock and layered over a strip of Basic Black Cardstock. I could of even made another card but time was running out for me.
