Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop : Week 5 Blackberry Bliss

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week our feature colour is Blackberry Bliss, one of our colours from the Regals collection.

Blackberry Bliss is another strong colour and rather than choosing a colour combo to go with it I have taken my inspiration from the Pansy Petals DSP.

I have started by embossing a piece of the DSP using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and the die cutting a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Scalloped Contours dies and then mounting the Pnasy on top of that. The pansy has been die cut using the Pansy Dies in Basic White, Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia. The leaves have been die cut using the same dies but Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent cardstock. The whole process is a bit fiddly but definitely worth the time.

For a bit of bling I've added a couple of 2021-23 In Colour Jewels and a very cute Bumblebee Trinket.

I have made another card featuring Blackberry Bliss that I will share with you later this week, so make sure you pop back to have a look.

Stampin' Up! Bermuda Bay Batik

As mentioned in my last post for the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase I have another card I made using Bermuda Bay. This time I have teamed it with Granny Green Apple and Pool Party.

As a quilter or patchworker this bundle, Batik Boutique was one that I had to have as I absolutely love Batik fabric. I have die cut the Batik motif using Bermuda Bay, and Pool Party and also a piece of Pool Party DSP. The leaves have been die cut using Granny Green Apple. For the background I have alos embossed a piece of the Pool Party DSP using the Tasteful Textile folder. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and has been embossed in white on a Tag cut from the new Tailor Made Tags dies.

For the inside of the card I have used the matching stamp set in the same 3 colours, Bermuda Bay, Granny Green Apple and Pool Party and then die cut the image using the matching die.

Enjoy your week

Art With heart Colour Creations Blog Hop : Week 4 Bermuda Bay

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week our feature colour is Bermuda Bay, one of our colours from the Brights collection.

Bermuda Bay is such a strong colour that I struggled with what colours to team it with and in the end I have settled for Basic White, Basic Black and Pool Party and I'm actually quite happy with this combination.

Starting with card base of Bermuda Bay I have then added another base of Basic Black and then a piece of Basic White cardstock which I have embossed using the Check folder from the Checks and Dots Embossing folders. It's a bit easier to see from this close up.

The triangles have been made using 3 different dies from the Stitched Triangles dies and then layering them in differing combinations. The sentiment is from the new Biggest Wish stamp set and has been cut using the Stitched Rectangles Framelits. Then I have just added a few Matte Black Dots for interest.

Hopefully later this week I will have another card to share with you also using Bermuda Bay. So please come back later this week for another look.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop: Week 3 Basic Gray

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week our feature colour is Basic Gray, one of our colours from the Neutrals collection.

I have chosen to team it with one of the lovely new In Colours Pale Papaya and also another gray, Gray Granite.

For the background of the card I have used a piece of DSP from the Hand-Penned pack which I have stamped off the Splatter stamp and then embossed the whole piece using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. The floral sprigs have been die cut using the matching Dies from the Quiet Meadow bundle using cardstock but also some of the new In Colour Shimmer Vellum. Here is a close up for you.

It has a gorgeous glimmer to it. The vellum comes in all of the new In Colours and they all look beautiful. The floral sprig in the background has been stamped using Basic Gray as has the sentiment which is also from the Quiet Meadow stamp set.

The talented Kristine D'Auria is next in line. Please pop over to her blog and welcome her as she joins us for the first time.
