Stampin' Up! Copper Clay

 

This week, is week 2 in the Colour Creations blog hop and we continue our journey  featuring all of the Stampin' Up! colours, starting with the latest In Colours. This week's feature colour  Copper Clay, which as the name suggests is a coppery tan colour.

I have chosen to combine this week's feature colour, Copper Clay with last week's feature colour, Boho Blue, along with Basic White. I have also finally inked up the Dainty Delight stamp set which initially was in the last Mini Catalogue and has now been carried over to the latest Annual Catalogue.

The central white panel has been stamped using the Countryside Corner stamp in Boho Blue and then die cut using the corresponding die. The inner panel has been embossed using one of my favourites, Timeworn Type. This has all been mounted onto a piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP featuring Copper Clay.

The floral spray , from Dainty Delights has been stamped in Copper Clay and die cut with the corresponding die. The longest leaf sprig has been die cut using Boho Blue cardstock and the ends sponged in Misty Moonlight, as have the smaller sprigs. 

The sentiment is from Very Best Occasions and has been stamped in Copper Clay and punched using the Banners Pick A Punch. 

Finally a double bow using Linen Thread and a couple of Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots have been added.

For the inside of the card I have used another of the Countryside Corners dies and stamped the sentiment, also from Very Best Occasions, and a floral sprig, in Copper Clay.

Next in tonight's blog hop is  lovely Kathryn Ruddick. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

Stampin' Up! Early Espresso

 

This week, week 18 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  Early Espresso, is a member of the Neutrals colour group and is a very dark brown colour. 

This week I have decided to go back to one of my most favourite Stampin' Up! bundles, Natures Harvest as I thought it was a perfect way to feature Early Espresso. I have however teamed it with a great sentiment stamp set, Very Best Occasions. 

To start this card I stamped the Gerbera image using Memento Black and then coloured it using Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin Blends. I then die cut this using the corresponding die. I have then mounted this using Dimensionals on a piece of Basic White cardstock and then onto a Piece of Early Espresso cardstock. Both of these have been die cut using the Deckled Rectangles dies. 

I have then mounted this on a piece of the Abigail Rose paper that I have stamped off the "splatter"stamp from Quiet Meadow using Early Espresso. I have also sponged around the edges of this paper using the same inkpad. I have then embossed this piece of paper using the Timeworn Type embossing folder to give it some texture. You can see a close up here of that. 

 

I have then mounted all of this onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and then onto Basic White. 

The sentiment is from Very Best Occasions and has been stamped in Early Espresso and die cut using one of the Stylish Shapes dies. I have wound some Linen Thread around the body of then card under the sentiment. Finally I have added some of the beautiful Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented    Dianne Furniss   I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.
