Hello and welcome,
My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today, I'll be sharing with you the first of many blog hops. It's Week 1 of Colour Creations with the Art With Heart Team in Australia. It's been a while since my last Colour Creation and I'm so excited to be joining the team.
The first colour is Boho Blue which is part of the In Color Collection for 2023 - 2025 and Stampin' Up! sure know how to create some beautiful new colors for us to play with! I would have to say it's my favourite out of the five.
New colours means new Stampin' Up! products to try out from the Annual 2023 - 2024 Catalogue and I'll be showing you the Textured Floral bundle 161232 which is on page 65 of the catalogue.

The stamp images are distinktive and I just love the boldness of the flowers. Purchase as a bundle and save 10% off the price of buying the stamp set and tool separately. Plus, bundles will help you quickly cut out stamped images for a single project or create multiples of the same project with ease. I could see these flowers used for a Mother's Day card which I think I might need to do very soon.
The colours I've used for my card are Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Sweet Sorbet the flower images are stamped onto Basic White Cardstock. I like to start with the largest image in Boho Blue then Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake for the leaves and Sweet Sorbet for the smaller flowers. I added tinier, flower stamped images in Boho Blue. To finish off the background panel I applied Boho Blue ink with the Blending Brush and added colour around the edge of the cardstock.
One thing I like to do when I receive new ribbon is pull apart the ribbon, so you get more strands to play with for your projects. Here I've wrapped the thin strands around the cardstock and then layered the flowers and foliage with adhesive. I then added a few more strands to the card, plus Boho Blue Solid Gems and finished off with the sentiment.
