Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 44 - Real Red - Tiger Lilly

 

Welcome to week 44 of the 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog hop. This week we are championing the colour Real Red!

This week I have chosen to work with the Easter Lilies Dies. I was talking with a good friend about the Easter Lilies this week and discussing about making an Easter card and I thought well they do come in different colours other than the white ones that we have at Easter. So I looked them up and sure enough I found the Red Tiger Lily so I had to try and make one!

The colour combination I used for the project this week is lots of lush greenery around the beautiful red lilies!

How did I put my card together!

On a card base of Mossy Meadow I stamped in Mossy Meadow with a stamp from the Notes of Nature stamp set!

Then I took a piece of Crumb Cake and embossed it with the Stripes embossing folder from the Stripes and Splatters 3D set. I then cut the card into 1 cm pieces to create a lattice. The vertical struts are popped up on dimensionals and the horizontal are woven through.

For the Tiger Lilies I have used the Easter Lilies dies. I have cute one in Real Red card and on in Petal Pink Card and the stamen in Basic White! Each section of the flower was then coloured with a sponge dauber with extra Real Red ink! As Tiger Lilies have lots of spots which I think they should be called Cheetah lilies because of the spots but it sounds better to be called Tiger I suppose. Anyway they have lots of dots so I splattered them with Early Espresso ink. I did this by flicking ink from a from an Early Espresso Pen. The stamen on the dark flower is coloured in Dark Mossy Meadow blends and the light one in Soft Sea Foam Blend.

I cut many leaves in Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam to surround the Real Red Tiger Lilies which I have attached to the lilies before attaching them to the card front with dimensionals as I had given the flowers dimension by curling the petals.

The sentiment is from the Perennial Postage stamp set and I have stamped it in Early Espresso on Basic White. I have fussy cut it out 3 times to express the meaning of the words!

This card could be used for Mother's Day or for a Daughter or a Special Friend!

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 43 - Pumpkin Pie

 Welcome to week 43 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2023-24. This week we will be looking at the colour Pumpkin Pie!

For you this week I have created a special background for my card using Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss.

For my project today I have used a couple of dies, some blending brushes and the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set! So how did I create my card!

 

I started with a piece of Basic White and then using the blending brushes coloured in differing depths Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, and Gorgeous Grape.

 I cut my bended background into 1 cm strips and turned each 2nd strip around and adhered them to a slightly smaller piece of Basic White than the size of a card front.

As you can see the lines are  bit pronounced in between each strip so.....

I took out the Pumpkin Pie blending brush and went over the whole card again trying to make sure the lines were less "white"

To finish the card I used the leaf die from the Artistic Die set in Basic White. Guess what? I actually remembered to use the adhesive sheets this tie before die cutting! Wow! How easy it was to adhere the leaf to the front of my card. I then white heat embossed on Basic Black the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set and used the little label die from Gorgeously Made to cut it out! I popped that on with dimensionals. Everything was then adhered with dimensionals onto a Thick Basic White card Base.

I had so much fun creating this back ground and it looks like a gorgeous sun set! I hope you give it a try with some of your favourite colours!
