Stampin' Up! Coastal Cabana

 

Welcome to a Week 18 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the remaining Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order, with this week's feature colour being Coastal Cabana. Coastal Cabana is a member of the Brights colour group and is classified as a Blue-Green colour.

Once again I have used this opportunity to create another Christmas card as well as have a play with another new bundle of products soon to be available after September 4th. This time it's the Decorative Trees bundle and I have chosen to pair Coastal Cabana with Pretty Peacock, White and touches of Copper.

The paper attached to the card base is what I would term the reverse side of one of the pieces of the Nests of Winter DSP and features Coastal Cabana. I have simply just sponged the edges of this.

Next a piece of White card has been randomly stamped in Coastal Cabana using the small star bundle stamp from the Decorative Trees stamp. The card has then been embossed using the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder (apologies for it's prolific use lately but it just seems to suit the cards best). 

 

For the two outer trees, the outline and foliage have been stamped using Pretty Peacock ink and the Decorative Trees stamps. These have then been die cut using the dies from the Decorative Trees dies. 

For the central tree the outline is also in Pretty Peacock but the sentiment, also from the same stamp set, and the foliage have this time been embossed in White. 

Each of the trees is decorated using the Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper, for the stars, baubles, garlands and other decorations. The dies for each of these are from the Decorative Trees Dies. As so many of these are fine the Oxidized Copper paper was attached to Adhesive Sheets to make it easier to adhere to the tree. 

Hopefully this photo shows the variation in the Oxidized Copper paper with its shine and matte areas. Finally a few Copper Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems were added.

Next in tonight's blog hop is our lovely host Cathy Proctor. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation this week.

It is quite possible that this might be my last Colour Creations blog post for the year as I am about to pack up my crafting supplies to go into storage for preparation to move to our new home in Regional Victoria.
