Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase July - Colouring Techniques

Hello and welcome,

The Art With Heart Team are back with another Creative Showcase, this time featuring different colouring techniques.The Stampin’ Up! range contains a bevy of functional and effective colouring tools that include;

Enjoy the amazing projects our team members have to share with you demonstrating these products.

My projects that I'll be sharing with you tonight are from the Peony Garden Suite which is in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2020 - 2021 and this stunning Suite is on page 82 to 84. The colours I've chosen are a little bit different to the Peonies in the Catalogue, I wanted to change things up and use Highland Heather and Purple Posy for my main colour selection. 

For my first card, I've stamped the Peonies in Stazon Jet Black Ink, using the Water Painters I lightly apply the Ink onto Watercolor Paper and I slowly build up the Ink until I'm happy with the application. The colours I've used are Highland Heather, So Saffron and Mossy Meadow. 

Before layering the Peonies, leaves and sentiment, using a Sponge Dauber, I've sponged Highland Heather Ink onto the panel of Whisper White Cardstock giving the card a soft look and instant background. The Elegant Faceted Gems are stunning and I've used the clear ones for my card. The sentiment is from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set, stamped in Highland Heather Ink and fussy cut out.

The second card, I have used the Stampin' Blends in Purple Posy and the Color Lifter to colour in a panel of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. The Blends make colouring easy, they give you instant shading when using the light & dark and I like to use the Colour Lifter to blend the two colours together. 

I like to add a few different layers to this card, by using Purple Posy Cardstock, embossed in Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and die cut the Cardstock using the scalloped die from the Peony Dies. Then I added a layer of Purple Posy In Color 2019-2021 6"x 6" DSP, a strip of Purple Posy Ribbon and Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. The sentiment is from the Prized Peony Stamp Set, stamped in Basic Gray Ink and fussy cut out.

To match the card I decided to make a 3D gift bag from the All Dressed Up Dies and use the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. I've used the Stampin' Blends in Purple Posy and Highland Heather to colour in the DSP. I've added Purple Posy Cardstock for the straps and Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and tied it into a bow.

I hope you've enjoyed my creations and the colouring techniques that I've used today.

Social Stamping Blog Host - Thinking of You

Welcome to this weeks Social Stamping Bog Host, we are sharing our creations with the theme Thinking of You. Thank you once again to Kelly Kent for organizing another amazing blog hop and with all of these amazing women. Make sure you check out everyone’s blog to see their creations.

When someone is feeling down or has lost someone, sending a Thinking of You card is a lovely idea to write a warm and caring message to brighten up their day. Sending a card can make a big difference and it just might be the thing someone needs to get through their tough day. Showing kindness is the key to making our lives feel so much better.

Peony Garden Suite

The beautiful Peony Garden Suite is perfect for a Thinking of You card and Stampin' Up! sure know how to showcase a stunning suite. It's in the latest 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue with beautiful blooms of Peonies, it's very sophisticated and the colours are gorgeous. All of the products from this suite was on my whish list.

The Peony die cut image is from the Peony Dies, I've used Watercolor Paper, applied ink with the new Water Painters using Petal Pink for the Peony and Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. There are a number of pieces, but they can easily be put together with lining the pieces up at the same point and apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue works well. 

The layers for the card are Gray Granite for the card base, Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, I've used two layers one in Petal Pink and the other in Gray Granite. I just love the different designs. 

I applied Petal Pink Ink with the wide bristle brush onto a piece of Shimmery Cardstock and flicked ink using the Petal Pink Stampin' Blend onto the Cardstock. To achieve the look use the brush tip and flick against the inside of the lid.  

The sweet Square Vellum Doilies adds a soft elegance to the card and I added the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon over a strip of Petal Pink DSP. The Peony is layered with lots of Stampin' Dimensionals to finish off my project.

Art With Heart June Creative Showcase - New Catalogue Products

Welcome to the Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase. This month the team are featuring projects using their favourite products from the new Stampin’ Up! 2020-21 Catalogue. The new catalogue is full of amazing new stamp sets, some bundled with dies or punches. The range of kits, papers and accessories complete the range of products you will see featured in this Showcase.

The new Stampin' Up! products that I have chosen for my creations are just some of the new In-colors for 2020 - 2022 I've used Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. Stampin' Up! have two more new In-colors, they are Bumble Bee and Cinnamon Cider. My projects are showcasing different types of mediums such as paper, ribbon, Stampin' Blends and watercolour. 

Magenta Madness

The gorgeous stamp image and sentiment is from the Prized Peony Stamp Set. I just love this flower and the best part is you can colour it in by using the Stampin' Blends or you could watercolour it in too. There are also coordinating Peony Dies which have a number of dies to use and create with for your projects. The added bonus is when you purchase the two together you save 10% off when purchased as a bundle. 

Misty Moonlight

Next I wanted to create a watercolour washed background for the Peony, to do this I used Shimmery White Cardstock, wide bristle brush from the Water Painters and water. Firstly I like to place just water onto the panel of the Cardstock, before adding coloured ink with the brush. The wide brush is amazing and you can achieve so much ink onto the paper quickly. I added some ink splatter, by flicking the brush tip from the lid using the Stampin' Blends.

Just Jade

I've embossed the Coloured Cardstock with the new Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, it's so beautiful to show off an array of diamonds on the cardstock and I've layered it over the Smoky Slate card base. 

Also in the new 2020-2022 In-colors are 1/4" Twill Ribbon and I've layered it with a strip of the In Color 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper. Using the Heat Tool, I've heat set using the White Stampin' Emboss Powder for the sentiment. Layering the three pieces together with adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals. The last added touch to my cards are the stunning Elegant Faceted Gems they are so beautiful and they come in Clear, Petal Pink and pearlescent white.
