This week, is week 18 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is Coastal Cabana, a member of the Brights family of colours.
Recently I was blessed to become a Nanna for the first time, to our beautiful grandson Sebastian and so consequently I couldn't resist purchasing the stamp set Construction Zone recently, even though it will be quite sometime before I use if for him. In the meantime I can have some fun playing with it.
The colour combination I have used this week to feature Coastal Cabana, is to pair it with Night of Navy and Poppy Parade. A nice bold combination that works well together.
The background piece was created using the Stitched Plaid stamp in Night of Navy and then using Stampin Markers in Coastal Cabana and Poppy Parade to add the additional lines.
The cement truck has been stamped in Black memento and then coloured using Stampin Blends in Poppy Parade and Smokey Slate for the tyres. This was then die cut using Nested Essentials and then mounted onto another die cut piece in Coastal Cabana.
The construction worker and his balloons were also coloured using Stampin Blends in Night of Navy and Poppy Parade. Strangely enough Stampin' Up! does not have a Stampin Blend in Coastal Cabana so I have used one of the markers instead. This has also been die cut using the Nested Essentials and mounted onto Poppy Parade.
The sentiment also from the stamp set, Construction Zone, has been embossed in White onto Coastal Cabana and also die cut using Nested Essentials.
The little stars in Night of Navy, Poppy Parade and Coastal Cabana have been die cut using the stars in the Sentiment Silhouette dies.
As the inside of the card is dark , being Night of Navy, I have added White and Coastal Cabana panels cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies and added a few more of the balloons, coloured again with Stampin Blends.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Tina Gillespie. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

Great colour combination, and layout, T! Love your customisation of the background, and use of the Nested Essentials Dies to create the different panels on your card front. You are going to have a lot of fun making cards for your little boy in future!
ReplyDeleteOh, how exciting the become a nanna, Theresa! This is the perfect stamp set for a little boy. I'm sure Sebastian will love what you make with this. Your hand made background, the colour combo, the colouring in - I love everything about this card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful joy to have a grandson. I am sure in a little while Sebastian will love your creations for him. Your colouring of the images is gorgeous and I love the customisation of the background. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the background stamp, but added the extra lines to create your own, Theresa. These bright colours look great with Coastal Cabana, and your colouring is beautiful. Congratulations on your grandson, he is adorable.
