Stampin' Up! Moody Mauve

 

This week, is week 3 in the Colour Creations blog hop and we continue our journey  featuring all of the Stampin' Up! colours, starting with the latest In Colours. This week's feature colour  Moody Mauve, which is in my opinion a very dark mauve, who knows maybe that's is why it is called "Moody" Mauve.

I have teamed Moody Mauve with another of this year's new Core Colours, Bubble Bath and a hint of a returning colour, Lost Lagoon and Basic White. As yet, I havent ordered very much from the new Catalogue as we are going on a short family holiday soon and I thought I would wait until we get back, so I have decided to ink up Two Tone Flora for this week. I am also getting prepared early and have made a card for my Mother In Laws birthday next month. She keeps all of the cards I make for her in her crystal cabinet.

I have adhered a piece of the Fresh As A Daisy, featuring Moody Mauve, to the White base and then added another piece of White cardstock that has been die cut using the largest of the Two Tone Flora dies.

The flowers have been stamped in Bubble Bath for the base and Moody Mauve for the accents. They have then been die cut using the corresponding dies. Yay, no fussy cutting! The leaves are actually from Timeless Arrangements as are the berries. The leaves have been stamped in Lost Lagoon onto the same colour cardstock. For the berries I have used Moody Mauve in the same manner. It just goes to show how so many of the Stampin' Up! stamp sets can be interchanged and mixed together. 

I have also added Wink Of Stella to the flowers for highlights. Hopefully you can see them a bit better in the photo below.

For the ribbon underneath the floral spray, I have actually separated the individual threads from a piece of Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon, an idea I got from one of the other "hoppers" last week. It's quite effective when you don't want a large width of ribbon.

The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments and has been stamped onto Moody Mauve card and then embossed in White.

Finally I have added a few In Colour Dots in Moody Mauve for another highlight. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the very creative Vicki Boucher. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.
