Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Birthday

 Earlier this week I shared a card made for the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase and today I have another card featuring Granny Apple Green  to share with you.

This card features the Artistically Inked bundle which consists of a matching stamp set and coordinating dies. I've stamped the images in Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody and then die cut them with the corresponding dies. I have then adhered a piece of Shimmery White cardstock to one of the adhesive sheets and die cut the whole larger image. By using the adhesive sheets it means you dont have to use any glue which is very fiddly with a die like this. I have then mounted this on another piece of Shimmery White cardstock that I have embossed using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

 

Finally the sentiment is also from the same stamp set and it has been die cut using a Rectangle Stitched die and then a few sequins from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack.

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

Coastal Cabana Thinking of You

 

Welcome to week 12 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Coastal Cabana which is from the Brights colour group.

 

For my card I was inspired by a US Demonstrator Su Mohr and chose to CASE one her cards that she created some months ago using the Blending brushes. I haven't had a chance to have good play with them recently so this gave me the opportunity. I have chosen to team Coastal Cabana with Highland Heather and Granny Green Apple.

 

The base of the card is actually Shimmery White cardstock but it is a bit hard to see it in the photo. This has been embossed using the Old World Paper embossing folder which I have just realized is actually retired but you could easily replace it for another such as Painted Texture instead for the same effect. You start by die cutting the sprig which is from the Artistic Dies and then using a Blending brush, one colour at a time, apply the colour. There is no right or wrong. When you do this you actually create another piece of cardstock which has the die cut outline in white and then the rest of the colours brushed around it. I'm going to save this piece to create another card down the track. Finally the sentiment is from the Art Gallery bundle and whilst I had a brush loaded with Coastal Cabana I have coloured some Crinkled Seam Binding. Finally a couple of Holiday Rhinestone jewels in Coastal Cabana.
