Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 42 - Pretty Peacock

 

Welcome to Pretty Peacock week of the Colour Creations Blog Hop!

This week I have used the Notes of Nature Bundle to create my card. 

I just love all the texture you can create with layering the stamps over each other in the same colour and that is what I have done with one of my layers this week but first what is my colour combination this week!

This is the colour combination that I have used in my card this week:

 

After embossing a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder which I simple love and adhering that to a Crumb Cake card base, I took another piece of crumb cake and with crumb cake ink I used the leaf, the dots and the ledger looking stamps and stamped over that card the using the Paper Whole die I suppose you could call it. I die cut the the edge and  then added a bit of crumb cake ink to the edge of the card. On a piece of Very Vanilla Card I stamped the Filed Notes stamp in Crumb cake and edged that with a little crumb cake in as well. Then I die cut the leaves in Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon and added a Lined thread bow. To finish the card I stamped the Birthday sentiment from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pretty Peacock and cut it out with the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

If you have any questions about my card today or would like to grab this gorgeous bundle please do not hesitate to contact me.

Colour Creation Blog Hop - Week 41 - Poppy Parade

 

Welcome to the Art With Heart Colour Creation Blog Hop for Week 41. This week the team is looking at the red colour of Poppy Parade!

 I have had quite a few weeks off from the blog hop but I am going to try and get back to sharing with you.

Today I have broken out my stamping blends and the Stipple Rose, I know I am a bit late to the party but I have not been crafting much over the past couple of months so I am now back at it and I thought I would start slowly and not do a fancy fold and get my mojo back by doing a bit of colouring!

This is the colour combinations that I have used in my colouring of this gorgeous Stippled Rose stamp!

I started by stamping the large Stippled Rose in Memento Black ink as I was using the Poppy Parade Blends, if I was using a lighter and less vibrant colour I might have stamped the rose in Smokey Slate. I then took the Dark Poppy Parade Blends and coloured around the base of the petals and where the darker ink is of the rose has been stamped. I then used the Light Poppy Parade to colour over the dark and our a little further. Finally I used the Dark Petal Pink to add a light to the petals on the roses!

Similarly to the flowers I have coloured the leaves the same by using Dark and Light Mossy Meadow and Dark and Light Old Olive. 

I had stamped the image on Basic White card stock but I thought to make it look a little bit more "Antique" I would layer it on a the base of Very Vanilla that I have embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I have then cut out some leaves using the Stippled Rose dies to go under the die cut out focal point of the coloured Rose. The Sentiment from the Stippled Rose is cut out using the Deckled Rectangle dies!

If you have any questions about my project today or about the Jan-June Mini please do not hesitate to contact me.
