Week 45 - Colour Creations Showcase - "Seaside Spray"

 

This week for our Colour Creations showcase we are looking at the gorgeous colour Seaside Spray. It is a gorgeous blue. I have paired it with one of the new InColors Soft Succulent and you will be able to get your hands on this new colour starting in May.

I had made a card using these colours and a different stamp set in a collage way but I can't show you that yet so I thought I would give it a go with a few different stamp sets and see what it looked like. I don't do a lot of this kind of stamping but it is a fun technique.

So I have used 3 stamp sets for you just for fun. I have used the leaves and flowers of Lovely You. The sentiments and the bird from Free As A Bird and 1 little butterfly from Butterfly Brilliance which is new and an early release from the upcoming annual catalogue.

The background of the card front is created on basic white card using a water painter and I have done that with Seaside spray and Soft Succulent ink. When that dried I used the leaves and the flowers out of the Lovely You stamp set and stamped in  Soft succulent, Garden Green ( I stamped off once in this colour) and with my Stampin' Write Markers I coloured directly onto the flowers in Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya with a stem of Soft succulent. 

You may notice a couple of branches at the bottom of the leaves and flowers. I have used my crumb cake Stampin' Write marker to colour just the branch that the birds are sitting on in Free as a Bird and stamped that on. You can't even tell that some line are the birds feet. I then stamped the sentiment in Basic Grey once off before stamping in the Seaside Spray parts on the card. The bird was a little trickier to stamp on as he/she was facing the wrong direction so I got out my stamparatus and my silicon mat and stamped the bird in Basic Grey onto the silicon mat then placed the card down onto the mat to pick up the ink and the image and now I have my bird facing the way I want. I then gave him a bit of colour with some Pumpkin pie and crumb cake.

Now to get the butterfly on to have just one more piece of colour I inked just that top right had butterfly of the set of butterflies in cajun craze and stamped off once before stamping so that it would appear behind the words.

To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment onto some more Basic White card and then punched it out with the Label me Fancy Punch and with my blending bush I coloured the label with Seaside Spray and popped it on the card with dimensionals. You can also see some bling they are the new InColor  Jewels you are going to want to get those in the new catalogue that is for sure. I have also used my Stampin Write Marker in Seaside Spray to colour in the  Gold Metallic Edge ribbon to finish off the card before putting all this on a base of Seaside Spray. It was a fun card to make with some fun techniques.
