Stampin' Up! Pool Party

 

This week, is week  40 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  Pool Party, a member of the Subtles family of colours. 

This week I have had a lovely play with some more of the new products from the current mini. This time the Lighter Than Air Suite of products. The colours that feature in this suite of products are beautiful pastel colours including this week's feature colour, Pool Party. The stamp set and die bundle feature Hot Air Balloons. 

The background paper is what I would call the reverse side of a piece that features hot air balloons, one of which I have added to the inside of the card. The paper features each of the colours used in this suite. 

For the clouds at the bottom of the card I have used one of the Basic Borders dies and White cardstock. The other standalone clouds are die cut using one of the dies from the Hot Air Balloon dies. 

For the larger of the Hot Air Balloons I heat embossed using white powder on Pool Party cardstock. For the scalloped decorative centre I used white cardstock and one of the dies from the Hot Air Balloons dies. The sweet little basket is also a die from the set. 

For the smaller heart shaped balloon I have used Pool Party card and white card for the feature. 

The sentiment is also from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set and has been stamped in Pool Party ink onto white card. It has been die cut using one of the Stylish Shapes dies. 

Finally I have added some of the Bakers Twine in Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lime Lolly. The gems on the balloons are from one of the Saleabration freebies, Opaque Faceted Gems., as are the gems on the striped paper. The gems on the sentiment panel are from the Tinsel Gems.

For the inside of the card I have used the Wanted To Say dies and a scrap of the background paper I had for the outline and Pool Party card for the detailed letters. As mentioned the cute balloon is from the Lighter Than Air paper and I have used one of the dies from the Hot Air Balloon dies to cut it. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Christine Blain. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.
