This week, is week 6 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we commence our journey through the Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order, starting with a new core colour, Azure Afternoon.
My intention this week was to feature the new Bright and Beautiful Memories and More cards and to show you how easy and quick it can be to create lovely cards, but instead being a bit time poor I have only ended up using one of the smaller cards. Oh well it allows me to show you others in weeks to come. The Bright and Beautiful Memories and More cards feature the lovely new core colours and are as the name suggests, Bright and Beautiful.
The multi coloured centre star panel is one of the smaller Memories and More cards and was the starting point for my card.
The background paper is also from the Bright and Beautiful suite of products, and is from the Bright and Beautiful DSP. It features Azure Afternoon in an ombre fashion. I have randomly stamped one of the smaller star stamps from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set, in Azure Afternoon, and then embossed the piece using one of the Basics 3D embossing folders, that are one of the Online Exclusives.
I have then added an overlay of the Celebrations Specialty papers, which are gold on one side and silver on the other. So very versatile.
The sentiment, which has been embossed in white, is also from Beautiful Balloons and has been die cut using one of the dies from the coordinating bundle.
I have added some Silver Simply Elegant Trim to the sentiment tag. Finally I have added a few stars that have been die cut using one of the dies from the Beautiful Balloon bundle and using Holographic Specialty paper. The smaller star has been die cut using one of the Sentiment Silhouettes dies and Azure Afternoon cardstock.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Rachel Woollard. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

Your card is so joyous! The layering is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have used the specialty paper as an all-over overlay.
ReplyDeleteIts great to see you've matched star DSP with stars from this die set. I've been meaning to use them too, but so far haven't. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteYou card enthuses happiness and fun Theresa. Your layering is amazing including the way the embossing shows through the Celebrations Speciality panel. Love your holographic stars too. xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful card to showcase the M&M, Theresa. I especially love the layering of the Celebrations Speciality panel over the embossed panel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great starting point for your card Theresa and such a happy and fun birthday card! I love that embossing folder I will need to get that one I don't have it! All the stars look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy birthday card, Theresa. I love the Gold Celebrations Specialty DSP over the blue embossed layer. All those stars are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese gorgeous, festive, products are perfect for making fun birthday (or any celebratory!) cards. Love the M&M card as a background, and the Azure Afternoon tag looks great with the heat-embossed sentiment.
ReplyDeleteOoh, a very pretty card Theresa. I just love the bright and festive birthday celebration look!
