Week 8 Art With Heart Colour Creations Weekly Showcase Calypso Coral

Hello and welcome to Week 8 with the Art With Heart Colour Creations Weekly Showcase. Which the lovely Catherine Proctor is running our weekly blog and with a selection of other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from the Art With Heart Team. 

This week we are featuring Calypso Coral in our projects. Calypso Coral is from the Subtles Colour Collection and comes in a range of Stampin' Up! products such as the Classic Stampin' Pad, Cardstock, Stampin' Blends, DSP and more. 

I decided to feature this colour by creating two cards using the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and combing the colour with shades of blues. The cards might look familiar as I've cased my own cards that I created using this stamp set from last year. Both just happened to be from our Colour Creations back in 2019. 

The first card I wanted Calypso Coral to stand out against one of the new In Colors 2020 - 2022 Misty Moonlight, the birds have been stamped in this colour and coloured in using the Stampin' Blends in Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue.

The Misty Moonlight smaller stitched panel behind the birds is from the Stitched So Sweety Dies and I've sponged Misty Moonlight Ink to make the background darker and give some depth to the card.

The larger Misty Moonlight panel is embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and I've added Ink in the same colour with the Stamping Sponge.

I just love the Night of Navy Ribbon and it's perfect at the bottom of the card. To finish I've used the sentiment which is from the Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set and will be available to purchase as of next month. It's from the new Stampin' Up! August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue.

For my next card I've used Calypso Coral as the main feature, using Cardstock, DSP, Ink and Stampin' Blends. The Bird is stamped in Misty Moonlight Ink, coloured with the Stampin' Blends using Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue. I think these colours go so nicely together.

The Whisper White Cardstock gives the card a fresh look. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies again for the background and a little of the Balmy Blue Ink with a Sponge Dauber. 

I wanted a different sentiment for this card, so I've used one from the Fancy Phrases Stamp Set which is from the Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.

Week 5 Art With Heart Colour Creations Weekly Showcase Blushing Bride

Hello to all the lovely stampers out there! Welcome to Week 5 with the Art With Heart Colour Creations weekly Showcase which the lovely Catherine Proctor is running our weekly blog and with a selection of other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring Blushing Bride and I hope we will inspire you with our creations of this beautiful colour.

Blushing Bride is from the Subtles Collection and comes in a range of Stampin' Up! products from the Classic Stampin' Pad, Cardstock, DSP and more. 

I do love pink, so mixing Blushing Bride with Rococo Rose and Gray Granite was an easy choice for me as I love this combination of colours together. I've used a new stamp set from my latest Stampin' Up! order it's called Fancy Phrases, I love the different greetings and the hand drawn stamp images in the set. The shading of the images makes colouring in easy. 

I've stamped the image in Gray Granite, using a Blender Pen, coloured Ink and a Clear Block as shown below. I can then add ink to paper by adding a little ink as I go until I'm happy with the shading. The stamped images have been fussy cut out.

Using a panel of Blushing Bride Cardstock, I've stamped the smaller flower image randomly in Blushing Bride ink onto the Cardstock and embossed the panel with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. This Embossing Folder gives an antique look to the card and I like to ruff up the edges with the Paper Snips.

The new Meadow Moments Embossing Folder is a smaller size, I've used a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and ran it through the Die Cutting Machine. Using a Sponge Dauber and Blushing Bride Ink, I've softly added ink to the raised up edges. 

A few more added layers to the card is a strip of Blushing Bride Subtles 6"x 6" DSP and the Flowers for every season Ribbon in Whisper White. I like to fray the edges of the ribbon for a little something different.

Adhere the layers onto the Brushing Bride card base with your preferred adhesive and for the sentiment I've added Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card, I've added 3 of the Pearl Basic Jewels.  

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.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you’ve enjoyed how I’ve used Blushing Bride. Make sure you come back next week to see the colour Bumble Bee in our projects.
