Stampin' Up! Blushing Bride

 

This week, week 10 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey  featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour is Blushing Bride, a member of the Subtles colour group .

 This week I was determined not to make a baby girl card as Blushing Bride is one of my "go to" colours for baby girl cards. Instead I have decided to feature one of the super cute stamp sets and matching dies that you can earn during the current Salebration period. For every $90 you spend you can choose from a selection of great freebies. In the case this week I have chosen to feature the Hippest Hippo stamp set and coordinating dies and paired Blushing Bride with Basic Gray and White.

To start with I stamped 2 of the Hippo images in Basic Gray and then watercoloured them using Basic Gray for the main part. As there is no Blushing Bride watercolour pencil, I used the "smoosh" (for want of a better term) some ink on the lid technique where you use a Blender Pen to colour the image. I then die cut these little cuties using the coordinating dies. 

These were then mounted on scalloped circle of Vellum along with a couple of cute hearts in Blushing Bride. I have then embossed 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper, one from Abigail Rose and one from Awash In Beauty, using the Splatters embossing folder from the Stripes and Splatters 3D embossing folders duo. This was then mounted on a piece of White cardstock that has been embossed using the Gingham embossing folder. The photo below shows the embossing in a bit more detail.

On the bottom of the Blushing Bride paper I have added a small border using the scalloped edge from Penned Flowers dies. 

I have added a few cute flowers also in Blushing Bride and using the Hippest Hippo dies. The cute little hearts are also from the die set. 

The sentiment is from the Hippest Hippo stamp set and has been stamped using Basic Gray and die cut with one of the dies from Beautiful Shapes. Finally I have added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels to the flower centres and randomly on the card. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Diane Furness. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.
