Colour Creations Blog Hop Blackberry Bliss Week 5 Art With Heart Team Australia

 

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 5 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 Blackberry Bliss which is part of the Regals Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc.... I've used only Blackberry Bliss for my monochromatic handmade card, as Blackberry Bliss is a dark colour I wanted to show the different variation of colour.

For my project I've used a number of different mediums and Stampin' Up! products from the Annual Catalogue. The Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon is retiring as of the 30/06/21 but all other products are still available.

I haven't used the flower stamp image from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set in awhile and I always love to colour them in using the Stampin' Blends. I've used light & dark Blackberry Bliss and blend in with the Color Lifter. I've fussy cut the images out.

The background panel is Shimmery White Cardstock with a light wash of Blackberry Bliss Ink using the large flat brush tip Water Painter and once dried I stamped three times using the detailed branch stamp.

Using the large die from the Forever Flourishing Dies in Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and then adding the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon to the panel.

The leaves and sentiment are from the Sentimental Rose Card Kit stamped in Blackberry Bliss Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. The sentiment is die cut out using the Potted Succulents stitched label  die which fits perfectly and the leaves are fussy cut out.

Blackberry Bliss is a beautiful Stampin' Up! Colour and it's a colour I don't normally use all that often. That's why I love the Art With Heart Team Colour Creations which gets me out of my comfort zone!

Week 4 Art With Heart Colour Creations Weekly Showcase Blackberry Bliss

Hello to all the lovely stampers out there! Welcome to Week 4 with the Art With Heart Colour Creations weekly Showcase which the lovely Catherine Proctor will be running a weekly blog and with other members from the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring Blackberry Bliss and I hope we will inspire you with our variations of this gorgeous colour.

Blackberry Bliss is from the Regals Collection and comes in a range of Stampin' Up! products from the Classic Stampin' Pad, Cardstock, Stampin' Blends, DSP and more. Even Rainbow Glimmer Paper which I might have to purchase on my next order. 

I really struggled with this colour, because I only realised that I hardly had any Cardstock left in this colour. I had only scraps and this card front, but I was determined to create something. Blackberry Bliss is a gorgeous rich colour and I wanted to combined it with other bright colours for my sunflower.

The Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle is just right for these bright bold colours, I've stamped the image in Stazon Jet Black Ink onto Watercolor Paper and watercoloured the image with the Water Painters. Blending the following colours together are starting with Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Poppy Parade and a new In Color Bumble Bee. I continued to add colour until I was happy with the application. The leaves from the stamp set are also in the same colours.

The images from the Sunflower Dies, die cut out the stamped images, but they also have a few extra dies which can add another dimension to your sunflowers and leaves. This can give you a completely different look to your creations. I really love the black paper against the bright colours and it almost looks like Etch Art.

The white square panel under the Sunflower is a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and with a Sponge Dauber I've applied Blackberry Bliss Ink onto the Cardstock. I like to start in the center and work my way out in a circle motion.

I've randomly stamped the leaf image a number of times using Blackberry Bliss Ink onto the panel of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and then I ran the panel through the die cutting machine with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The panel is layered over Thick Whisper White card base.

The sentiment is heat embossed, using Versmark Ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder onto Basic Black Cardstock and fussy cut around the sentiment. I've added a Gold metallic bow to finish off the card. 

Please visit Catherine's Blog to see her creation and all the links are there as well, so you’ll be able to see everyone’s creations for this week’s showcase.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #65 Crew Card

Hello and welcome,


Today I have some exciting news to share with you, I’m now officially part of the Colour INKspiration Crew! It consists of some amazing talented Aussie and NZ Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators that create projects based on photos from Pinterest.

Did you see our Guest Designer - Le Anne Pugliese for this challenge? Her card is so beautiful be sure to hop all the way through for more inspiring projects using these colours. 

There’s also a Facebook group for Stampin’ Up! Who like to be creative and share their paper craft projects using colour combinations. There's more information at the end of this blog.



Now for the gorgeous colours we get to use for the latest challenge #CI65 they are Blackberry Bliss, Merry Merlot, Gray Granit and Basic Black. You can also use Whisper White, Very Vanilla and as well as Metallics. 

I’ve used two stamp sets Fanciful Fragrance and Very Versailles for my card, both sets are stunning with a beautiful vintage feel. I’ve stamped the branch in Blackberry Bliss, then fussy cut around the stamped image and adhered to the card front with Tombow.

The die cut image is in Whisper White Cardstock and I’ve used the 8cm by 11.5cm Stitched Rectangles Die.  With a Sponge Dauber I’ve inked up around the edges with Gray Granite ink and the two flower images are in Merry Merlot Ink. There are three perfume bottles connected together in the Fanciful Fragrance stamp set and I only wanted one, so I fussy cut around the image, adhered with Tombow and placed the greeting with Stampin’ Dimmensionals. 

The card base is Blackberry Bliss and with the stamp image of the Script from Very Versailles, I’ve randomly stamped on the Cardstock in Black Memento ink. I like how the branch image connects the two pieces of Cardstock together. The final touch I’ve added three Basic Rhinestones to the card.

Make sure you click on the link highlighted and ask to join Colour INKspiration Facebook group to partake in the challenge.

DSP Buy 3 Get 1 Free!

For more information about the promotion, contact any of the ladies on the blog hop and we will be happy to help you.

Today's two cards that I've created I have used the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper this paper reminds me of the French Impressionism and the colours are just stunning. I've also used the Floral Essence Stamp Set, Perennial Flower Punch and the Leaf Punch.

Product colours: Balmy Blue, Blackberry Bliss, Blueberry Bushel, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Petal Pink, So Saffron, Whisper White

The first card I've based the colours is from the DSP using Petal Pink, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White. The flowers have been stamped in Petal Pink Ink and lightly coloured in with the Stampin' Blends in the coordinating colour. 

The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink which coordinates with the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread. The greeting fits nicely in the 2" Circle Punch and layered with Petal Pink Cardstock using the Starburst Punch.

The second card I've used is Blackberry Bliss, Pretty Peacock, Old Olive and Whisper White as you can see there are plenty of different shades of colours throughout the DSP and I've only chosen a few.

I've used the same stamp set for this card, but this flower coordinates with the Perennial Flower Punch making flowers nice and quick. Blackberry Bliss Ink for the flower, followed by colouring in with the coordinating Stampin' Blends and the leaves are in Pretty Peacock.

The elegant ribbon is Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8" reversible Ribbon which has a beautiful sheen on both sides.

I've layered the DSP on both cards the same way, but changing up using different colours, flowers, Ribbons and Punches.

Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #474

Hello and welcome,

Today I have joined in with the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #474 using the gorgeous colours Rococo Rose, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow. The team from Just Add Ink have created some amazing creations and I just had to create a card using these colours. To see their Facebook page click here for more inspiration.

I've used the Daisy Lane Bundle, punching out Daisies with the Large Daisy Punch and Medium Daisy Punch. I've added Rococo Rose and Blackberry Bliss ink with a Sponge Dauber blending the two colours together. I've also a little sparkle with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and placed Clear Facetted Gems for the centre of each Daisy.

The leaves are from the Flourish Dies and I've added Mossy Meadow ink with a Stamping Sponge. 

The Stitched Rectangles Dies have cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock and Rococo Rose Gingham In Color 2019-2021 6"x 6" DSP. I've inked up the Shimmery White piece with Mossy Meadow and flicked ink from the Aqua Painter. 

The card base is Blackberry Bliss this is such a beautiful colour and I've added Clear Wink Of Stella by flicking ink onto the card. 

To finish off the card I've wrapped Rose Metallic Thread around the Cardstock three times. The Rose is so beautiful against these colours and it complements the colours so well. The sentiment is Silver Embossed onto Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and fussy cut out.
