Stampin' Up! Coastal Cabana Birthday

As I mentioned in my previous post for the Art With Colour Creations Showcase Blog Hop, I would have another Coastal Cabana card to share with you and this is the other one I created.

 I had a lot of fun making this card and using the Decorative masks for the first time. Once again I have used Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Granny Green Apple. Quite simply all I did was apply the ink to the Blending Brushes and applied it to the Basic White cardstock that has the Decorative mask on top of it. Once all of the ink has dried you just remove the mask and the pattern evolves. I've used the "happy"die from the Words of Cheer bundle in the current mini catalogue and the "birthday"stamp is from the Biggest Wish stamp set.

All in all an easy yet effective card to make and lots of fun using the Blending Brushes.

As always if you would like to know more about anything Stampin Up!, would like me to pop a brand new catalogue in the mail to you, or would like to order any of the beautiful products then please contact me via the Facebook tab up the top.

Enjoy your week

Happy Polished Pink Christmas

 

Welcome to Week 7 of the Art With Heart, Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Sharon Davern.

This week I have a lovely bright Christmas card to share with you featuring one of the new In Colours Polished Pink.

After recently seeing some cards that my lovely upline, Christine Blain created it encouraged me to purchase the lovely Word Of Cheer bundle.

My starting point for this card was the lovely DSP from the Whimsy and Wonder pack. It features Mossy Meadow and Polished Pink, so I used those colours in Stampin Blends to colour the lovelyspray of flowers and leaves. I've then die cut this using the coordinateing die and mounted it on a piece of Shimmer paper that has been cut using one of the Ornate frames dies. I've also added a couple of sprigs cut from the Be Dazzling freebie paper that you can earn during Saleabration. 

 

The sentiment is also from the Words of Cheer stamp set and has been stamped in Mossy Meadow and then die cut using one of the shapes in the Many Messages die. It turned out to be the perfect fit for the sentiment. Oh did I mention the the background DSP has been embossed using the Tasteful Textile folder just to, I think soften the paper somewhat.

All in all it's quite a bright card with the use of Polished Pink which is a very bright pink but I do actually have someone in mid for this, one of my lovely nieces who adores pink and bright pink in particular.
