Gray Granite Birthday

 

Welcome to week 21 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Gray Granite which is from the Neutrals colour group. 

 

For this weeks card I revisited a layout I did some years ago but really liked. The focal point for the Gray granite is the piece of DSP from the Neutrals pack. I have then teamed it with Petal Pink and Soft Succulent along with some Metallics.

I have started by embossing a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Timeworn Type folder. I have then die cut some Petal Pink cardstock using one of the Basic Borders dies and adhered this behind the Gray Granite DSP. The word "happy"is from the Christmas Cheer dies and has been die cut in Petal Pink. The word "birthday"is from Artistically Inked and is stamped in Gray Granite masking the word happy using washi tape.

The Basic White circle has been die cut using one of the Layering Circles dies. I have then die cut some leaves using one of the  Forever Flourishing dies and using Petal Pink, Vellum and what I would call the "middle"of the Silver foil Specialty paper. Finally the cute little butterfly has also been die cut using the same Silver foil and using one of the dies from Nature's Thoughts.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Rachel Woollard. I look forward to seeing what lovely creation they 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.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 3 : Bermuda Bay

Welcome back to week 3 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week our feature colour is Bermuda Bay. Bermuda Bay in my mind is a light teal colour and one that is probably not used often enough as it really is a lovely colour.

I have chosen to team it with one of the lovely Designer Series Papers from the Flower For Every Season which is pack of floral designs in a 6X6 size format. With this DSP one side is a lovely colourful floral and the other side in most cases a pattern.

I have first dry embossed the DSP with the Subtle embossing folder and then cut it out with one of the Ornate Layers Dies. The sentiment from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set has been heat embossed onto Bermuda Bay cardstock and then cut with a die from the Painted Labels dies. Finally I have added some White crinkled seam binding ribbon and some leaves cut from vellum with one of the dies from the Forever Flourishing die set. Finally a couple of the mettalic pearls for some dimension on a couple of the flowers.
