Stampin' Up! Misty Moonlight

 

Welcome to week 29 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This will be our last for this year as we have a break for Christmas. This week's feature colour is Misty Moonlight which is a blue colour between Balmy Blue and Night of Navy and is one of the In Colours for 2020-2022.

 

 


For my card this week I have chosen to make a baby boy card as I happen to know that one of my colleagues at work will be having a baby boy in the New Year. In fact 2 of my colleagues are having baby boys early next year.


 For the base of my card I have stamped some of the stars from the All For Baby stamp set in Misty Moonlight on Misty Moonlight cardstock. I have then used the Basic Borders dies with Basic White cardstock to make it look like clouds. I have then added a piece of what I would call the reverse side of the Beaty of the Earth DSP which looks a bit like the sky. 

The baby jumpsuit has been "stamped off" using Misty moonlight and then die cut using the corresponding die from the Baby Clothes dies. I have mounted this on a circle of Basic White which has been layered on top of a Piece of scalloped Misty Moonlight. The bow has been tied using a few layers of the twine from the Flowers for Every Season pack. The sentiment is also from the All For Baby stamp set and has been die cut using a Stitched Rectangle die.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Tina Gillespie. I look forward to seeing what lovely creation she has share with us tonight.

Stampin' Up! Mint Macaron

 

Welcome to week 28 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Mint Macaron which as the name suggests is a mint green colour and is one of the Subtles colours.

 

This week I have decided to ink up the Flowers of Friendship stamp set again which has a matching punch. 



I started by stamping the image in Black Memento ink and then colouring the image using Stampin Blends in both Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya. I have then punched a couple of the flowers and popped them up with dimensionals. For the flower centres I have used some Loose Flowers Flourishes in Pale Papaya. I have then die cut this image using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and has also been stamped in Black Memento and also die cut with a smaller die from the same set.



For the background DSP I have used one of the reverse sides of the Hand Penned DSP and once again embossed it using the Tasteful Textile folder. I really wish that the Subtle folder hadn't been retired as it was perfect for this sort of look.  

Finally I have added some Pale Papaya ribbon, both wrapping around the panel and the bow.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Rosa Leyden. I look forward to seeing what lovely creation she has share with us tonight.

Stampin' Up! Merry Merlot

 

Welcome to week 27 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Merry Merlot which is surprisingly one of the Neutrals colours and as the colour suggests is a wine/burgundy colour.


 For my card this week I have taken inspiration from a piece of beautiful paper from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper. I have used this as the background.

 

I have then added a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock topped with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I have embossed using the Stitched Greenery die. I have then stamped the tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship using the 2 step method, using Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot.  I have then die cut this using the corresponding die. I have also stamped the tree trunk and branches using Early Espresso and also die cut it with the corresponding die. The cute little birds have also been die cut from the Beautiful Trees dies in Misty Moonlight. 


 Can you see I've added a couple of Champagne Rhinestone for the birds eyes? The sentiment is also from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set and has been stamped in Merry Merlot and die cut with one of the rectangle dies from the Beautiful Trees die set. The twine I have used is from Bakers Twine Essential Pack.

 Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Rachel Woollard. I look forward to seeing what lovely creation she has share with us tonight.
