Welcome to a new round of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. Once again we are very fortunate to have the lovely Cathy Proctor as our host. Last week the team finished off with Tahitian Tide and now we start all over again.This year we will be starting our journey once again by featuring the new In Colours which will be current for the next 2 years.
Today's blog hop also coincides with the launch of the new Annual Catalogue for 2024-25. Be sure to check out all the new beautiful products.
This week, week 1, we start with one of the In colours, Peach Pie. Stampin' Up seems to love colour names with the word Pie in them as we now have 3 "Pie" colours.
Peach Pie as the name would suggest, is a lovely Peachy Colour. For my card this week I have chosen to coordinate Peach Pie with Lemon Lime Twist, White and a hint of Pecan Pie (one of the 3 pies).
A piece of Peach Pie cardstock has been embossed using one of the new "Big" embossing folders, So Swirly. This embossing folder now allows you to emboss a much larger piece of cardstock compared to the previous ones.
A piece of the new Country Lace Designer Series Paper has been die cut using one of the larger Perennial Postage dies and the edges sponged using a new addition to the Basics range of colours, Basic Beige.
The floral spray, leaf cut outs, and twig wreath are all from an Online Exclusive bundle, Encircled in Nature. The floral spray has been stamped in Black memento and then coloured using Peach Pie and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin Blends. The leaf cut outs have been die cut using White cardstock and then sponged using Blending Brushes and Lemon Lime Twist ink. The twig wreath has been cut out using Pecan Pie cardstock.
The sentiment is from the stamp set Perennial Postage and has been stamped in Peach Pie ink onto white cardstock. This has then been die cut using one of the Deckled Circles dies.
Finally a double bow using Linen Thread has been added to the floral spray as well as a couple of Peach Pie In Colour Shimmer Gems and a couple of Brushed Brass Butterflies.
Another coloured floral spray has been added to the inside of the card along with the sentiment from Hooray for Surprises, stamped in Peach Pie.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Tina Gillespie. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation. Speaking of which, don't you love our new "next blog button" ?

Beautiful card Theresa, I love the pop of Lemon Lime Twist with Peach Pie
ReplyDeleteWelcome back ... I've missed you on the blog hops! This is such a pretty card. I love how you blended ink onto Basic White card, for the leaves, rather than die-cutting them from Lemon Lime Twist card. The subtlety is perfect for the rustic colours you've used in your design. I like how the sentiment in the Deckled Circle die-cut sits in the wreath, too.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, you have combined these colours and elements so beautifully together on your card. I have added Encircled in Nature to my wish list after seeing this gorgeous card - so lovely to have you hopping with us again.
ReplyDeleteTheresa what a pretty card that you have put together and I just loooove the So Swirly embossing folder and can’t wait to get it.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Theresa, beautiful balance to all the elements. Snap on the great colour combo xx
ReplyDeleteTheresa there are so many lovely elements to your beautiful card. I particularly like the subtle blending on the leaves and your lone butterfly.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour choices for your Encircled in Nature card, Theresa. The bright pop of Lemon Lime Twist is wonderful and love the double Linen Thread bow!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Theresa. Love your colour combo and your use of various colouring techniques. A wonderful composition featuring the Encircled in Nature bundle - must add it to my list. xxx
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is just beautiful, perfect for a Mother's Day card. The flowers look wonderful in Peach Pie. I never would have thought to use it with Lemon Lime Twist, but it looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe lemon lime with the peach pop is a great choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. I love the embossed background, I need to get that one. I love that you cut out the leaves in white and then sponged on the Lemon Lime twist that gives them some dimension, they really look great! It is a lovely Mother's day card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath card and the colours you've used are gorgeous together.
