Stampin' Up! Shaded Spruce

 

Welcome to week 42 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. This week's feature colour is Shaded Spruce, which is a member of the Regals colour group. 

 I find Shaded Spruce a very bold green colour that usually only comes out around Christmas time however it does also make me think of leaves and foliage and that is the path I have taken for my card this week. 

I decided that it had been sometime since I had inked up the Forever Fern bundle and thought this would be a good option for Shaded Spruce. 

I started by stamping several of the foliage pieces in Soft Sea Foam, Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce and then die cutting them with the corresponding dies. I have then mounted them on a piece of Basic White cardstock that I have embossed using one of the Greenery embossing folders. This has then all been mounted on a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  The sentiment is from Eden's Garden and has been stamped in Shaded Spruce and die cut using one of the Layering circles dies and then mounted on a scalloped piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock. Finally I have added some Gold Elegant trim and a scattering of Genial Gems.

Next in tonight's blog hop is  our lovely host Catherine Proctor. I look forward to seeing what beautiful creation she has to share with us tonight.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase : Highland Heather

 

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase where this week our feature colour is Highland Heather, which belongs to the Subtles group of colours. This week I have 2 cards to share with you, one of which is the same layout to one I did for Early Espresso.

 

 

There is actually no stamping whatsoever on this card! Not even a greeting. The colours I have chosen are the feature colour, Highland Heather, Whisper White and the base is Pool Party, another of the Subtles group of colours. Not sure if you see from the photo above but the Whisper White has been embossed using the Dainty Diamonds.

The leaves have been die cut using one of the Forever Flourishing dies, using Highland Heather, Vellum and Silver foil.

For my second card I have chosen to use the same layout as I did here. 

 

 For this version I have stamped off the "dotty" stamp in Highland Heather onto the Whisper White and then embossed the card with the Subtle embossing folder.

 

For the leaves I have used Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizazz. I have used my Highland Heather Stampin blends to colour the ribbon.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase: Early Espresso

Welcome back to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase.  This week we are featuring Early Espresso, one of the colours from the Neutrals collection of colours. For my cards this week I have chosen to team it with Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze.

 For my first card I have inked up for the first time the Birds and Branches stamp set and used the coordinating Birds and More dies. After I had die cut the circular piece in the middle of the card I embossed it with my favourite folder, Subtle. When I looked at the cardstock it had small flecks of a darker colour which must have been on the folder already but I actually thought it gave it rustic type of look so used it!

For the birds I initially stamped them with Crumb Cake followed by Early Espresso and then for the wings I stamped off first in Cajun Craze.  There is also a piece of woodgrain DSP behind the circular die cut from the In Good Taste DSP.

For my second card I have still used the same colour combo as I really like it and chosen to feature the Forever Fern stamp set and matching dies.

 The die cuts are mounted on a piece of DSP from the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP which is in the Handmade for You Mini catalogue. Once again I have used the Subtle embossing folder to add some texture.

For my third and final card I had some of the die cuts left from my previous card so decided to use them and team them with another piece of DSP from the Gilded Autumn Specialty paper. 

It's hard to tell from this photo but the Early Espresso piece of cardstock has been stamped with the  "sprinkle "stamp from the Forever Fern stamp set and then the cardstock has been embossed also with the Subtle folder. I know there's a common theme but I do really think it all coordinates well together.
