Colour Creations Blog Hop - Calypso Coral

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 9 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 Calypso Coral which is part of the Subtles Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc....I've used Calypso Coral with Basic White, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate for my handmade card.

The card I've created is a shabby chic card which is very similar to my Balmy Blue card with the bear which I created awhile ago for Colour Creations. I've used the kangaroo this time in Smoky Slate watercolour from the Count on Me Stamp Set which is in the Annual Stampin' Catalogue.

The You're a Peach Designer Series Paper has beautiful floral designs as well as watercolour stripes in Calypso Coral. I've layered it over the embossed panel of Basic White Cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Adding to the card is a couple of stitched tags from the Tailor Made Tags Dies, die-cut out in You're a Peach DSP, Basic White Cardstock with a little sponging using the Blending Brush in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. I've added Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace and White Baker's Twine to the tag.

The greeting is from the Create With Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Calypso Coral onto Basic White and fussy cut out.

Colour Creations Blog Hop Basic Gray Week 3 Art With Heart Team Australia

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 3 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 Basic Gray which is part of the Neutrals Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc.... I've used Basic Gray with Blushing Bride and Basic White for my handmade card.

I just couldn't resist in using the koala stamp from the Count On Me Stamp Set, I used the fine Water Painter and Water Color Paper using Basic Gray and Blushing Bride Ink. This was the base for my card and I went through my stash of DSP to use up scraps in the same shades of colours.

I love to create lots of layers with the different types of papers/DSP here I've used strips of In Good Taste and Handed Penned 12" x 12" DSP plus Basic White Cardstock for the dies. It's a good way to use up those unwanted strips for your paper craft.

The Forever Flourishing Dies was used adding Ink with the Blending Brush using Basic Gray and Blushing Bride Ink to the images.

I've layered two of the tags from the Tailor Made Tags Dies. The largest using the Basic Gray sheet from In Good Taste DSP and a smaller one in Basic White Cardstock, adding Basic Gray Ink and embossed it using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I've added pink and white Snail Mail Baker's Twine to the tags.

The two koalas look so cute sitting behind the pink sponged leaf die and I've adhered to the tag using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Biggest Whish Stamp Set and heat set with Versmark Ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and Heat Tool. The card base and panel is in Basic Gray Cardstock.
