Colour Creations Blog Hop - Bubble Bath

Hello and welcome my friends,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia, I'm still on holidays and we are now on the Gold Coast, QLD for our family holiday reunion. Today, I'll be sharing with you another colour for Colour Creations blog hop and we are now at week 14 with the Art With Heart Team in Australia. 

The next colour is Bubble Bath, which is part of the Subtles Collection and I just had to create a card using this colour before I left Melbourne. Bubble Bath comes in Cardstock, Classic Ink Pad, Ink Refill, Embellishments, Designer Series Paper and other Stampin' Up! products.

I went with a subtle look for Bubble Bath and created a shabby chic style card for this week's project. It's a pretty pink, I've paired it with Moody Mauve by stamping the roses from the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set and then die-cutting it out using the Layers of Beauty Dies. 

I used this fun technique that I learnt from Cindy Schuster over on Stamping Through the Catalog on Instagram, she made a beautiful card using Stampin' Blends as a paint brush to colour in the roses and only using minimal colour. It's very effective technique by using coloured shading where needed. I also used Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends for the leaves and a tiny bit of Moody Mauve for the center of the roses. 

The choice of Stampin' Up! designer series paper was a mix of Nature's Sweetness DSP; Country Woods DSP and Perennial Lavender DSP I just couldn't resist Crumb Cake gingham paper. I also stamped the roses onto the gingham paper in Crumb Cake. I like to rough up the paper by using the blade from the Paper Snips Scissors and run it along the edges of the paper. Another way to add interest is to tear up strips of paper and layer them over one another.

Before I added the subtle roses onto the paper, I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies and die-cut out a paper ring using Basic White Cardstock. To finish off the card I used the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set for the sentiment, stamped it in Moody Mauve and fussy cut out the greeting. I also added a few of the Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card.
