Stampin' Up! Mossy Meadow

 

This week, week 31 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey  featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour  Mossy Meadow, is a member of the Neutrals colour group, and is a dark olive green colour and I have teamed it with Flirty Flamingo.

For my card this week I have decided to return to a favourite bundle of mine, Honeybee.

Although you can't really see it from the photo of my card, the starting point was to softly colour the Hive Embossing folder using a Blending Brush and a Flirty Flamingo inkpad just to soften the starkness of the white cardstock. 

I have then stamped several of the floral sprays using Black Memento and coloured them with Mossy Meadow and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends. I have also die cut a couple of the reeds using Mossy Meadow cardstock. 

This has all been arranged on top of some wound Linen Thread. The sentiment is also from the Honeybee Home stamp set and has been stamped in Mossy Meadow and then die cut using one of the Meadow dies.

Finally I have added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels to also break up the starkness of the Basic White cardstock.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Andrea Sargent. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.

Stampin' Up! Pumpkin Pie

 

Welcome to week 38 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. This week's feature colour is Pumpkin Pie, which is a member of the Regals colour group and probably one of my least used colours. 

 This week I have decided to finally open up a couple of the goodies from the Heart and Home Suite of products. In particular the Honeybee Home bundle and the Hive 3D embossing folder. I have teamed Pumpkin Pie with Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. 

For my starting point I stamped a few of the floral spray images and then colour them using Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I have also stamped one of the bee images and coloured that using the Daffodil Delight blends. I have then die cut these images as well as a couple of the grassy leaf images from Old Olive cardstock. I have then mounted them on a piece of Basic White cardstock that I have firstly cut using one of the Layering Circle dies. I have then opened the Hive 3D embossing fold and using a Blending Brush applied Pumpkin Pie colour to the folder before embossing the circle. I chose to use Blending Brushes as I could then determine how much colour I wanted to add rather than directly applying the ink pad to the folder as it was far to bold. 

 

Apologies for the blurred flowers but I was trying to focus on the embossing instead. I have then mounted this arrangement on a piece of the Heart and Home DSP and then mounted this on a piece of reverse side of the Flowering Fields DSP. The sentiment is also from the Honeybee Home stamp set and has been punched using the Label Me Fancy punch. Finally I have added a bow using the Gold Fine Art ribbon and added a couple of Gilded Gems and a cute little Bumblebee Trinket. 

Next in tonight's blog hop the  lovely Caroline Manwaring. I look forward to seeing what beautiful creation she has to share with us tonight.
