Welcome to another wonderful week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week the team are looking at the dusty pink of Petal Pink!
I have made a Slim Line Card for you this week. I know I am late to the party as I have not made one before but I thought I would give it a go as I have just received the gorgeous dies from the Jan-June Mini Catalogue. I thought the die would make a beautiful backdrop for my Petal Pink flowers.
So I have chosen the gorgeous Friendly Hello Stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration brochure for my card as who does not like flowers and who does not like this cute little bird?!
I cut out the Slim Line Die, well one of them and I really liked this one and thought it was perfect for my flowers in Soft Sea Foam card stock and adhered it to a Thick Basic White card Base. I did that with a little bit of liquid glue by adding it to the back and letting it almost go dry so that it was tacky and then when I put it on the card base the glue didn't seep out all over the card.
I then stamped all the lovely flowers, leaves, the bird and the sentiment in Smoky Slate. The sentiment I punched out with the scalloped oval from the double oval punch pack from the Annual catalogue and set it aside to work on my flowers and bird.
For the bird I have used the new Natural Tones Stampin' Blends and you can get them now. They come as a set of 10 and in Light, Medium Light, Medium, Medium Deep and Deep combo pairs. I actually used 7 of these for the Bird and branch. and the lightest two on the belly of the bird go so well with Petal Pink.
The flowers I have used light and dark Petal Pink and Dark So Saffron and the leaves I have used Light and Dark Mint Macaron then I fussy cut them all out and adhered them to the front of the card. Of course I am in love with pulling a few threads from the Gold Shimmer Ribbon and have popped that under the sentiment. All these years in sewing I have tried to not have fraying and here I am fraying this gorgeous ribbon! LOL! 😂
Well I think I will like working with the Natural tone blends and the Slim line dies and I love how the Natural tones worked so well with the Petal Pink so lots of colouring in my future I see.

Beautiful card Sharon, I love that these new Blends as so versatile for different stamp sets, not just skin tones.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely colour combination and great use of the new blends, Sharon. I'm in awe of all that fussy cutting, wow!
ReplyDeleteThe background die makes for a lovely trellis/lattice, on which to place flowers, Sharon. Love the stamps you used (my favourite ever SAB products!), and how well the new Stampin' Blends complement Petal Pink. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have used the new Stampin' Blends colours Sharon, but that background is amazing! It's so beautiful on it's own, yet still doesn't distract from the card. I need to get out those dies now!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Sharon using the lattice die and arrangement of the floral images and of course the bird which is nicely coloured using the new skin tone blend colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Sharon. I particularly love how you used Smoky Slate as your choice of ink for the stamping, it just gives a lovely softer tone with the pink. That lovely lattice slimline style die cut is lovely in the background too!
ReplyDeleteSharon your card is just beautiful and you have used the new blends perfectly.And wow all that fussy cutting.
ReplyDeleteI love your slimline card Sharon. Colouring your flowers with PP was a very clever way to showcase the colour. It works so well with the Mint Macaron and white.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely Sharon. A gorgeous slimline card. I just love the trellis with that beautiful bird and flowers.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful! I feel like I'm outside in my garden, listening to the birds singing away!
