Stampin' Up - Art With Heart - Favourite Colour Combination Blog Hop - July 2017

The Art with Heart Team ladies are selecting their favourite colour combinations to share with you tonight. Choosing the right colour scheme can be essential to your design and with Stampin’ Up!s stunning collection, there are 50 colours to choose from. There’s sure to be some combinations that work really well together and you can take inspiration from.

Now sit back and enjoy some time out of your day to cruise through our blog hop and soak up some colour explosion eye candy! 

Well I don’t know about you but when I saw the new In Colours this year I went WOO HOO! I know not everyone gets excited about colour but I do and I have just given you a hint as to what my favourite colour combo is at the moment. Well it probably will be for a long time to come. Check out a photo that my son took of me holding up the cards I made.

See the shirt I am wearing? Another hint to the colours! Yes you guessed it my colour combo for you today is Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Rich Razzleberry and lets add in a little Basic Grey to make the colours pop!

I have made my card 2 ways for you today. One is 3D and one is a flat version. They are both embellished exactly the same so you can see the difference it makes to the card to add that little bit of dimension.

I have been playing with the Bokeh technique a little bit lately because of the ATC swap that we have done in our Art With Heart group and I made a little bit extra using my favourite colour combination to use for our cards today and our blog hop. You can check out the technique on my Christmas post.

I have used the Climbing Orchard stamp set and Orchard builder framelits to create both my cards today. The Orchard is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and then clear embossed before being cut out with the Orchard builder framelits. The leaves and branches are also clear embossed in garden green on garden green cardstock. The leaves are cut out with the framelits but the branches are fussy cut. I have used Gold Metalic Thread to add some bling to the orchards along with the Glitter enamel dots with the sentiment which is also clear embossed with Rich Razzleberry on the Bockeh technique backgound paper and then cut out with the layering oval thinlits. 

The background paper had all 4 beautiful colours used to make the gorgeous effect. Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig and Rich Razzleberry. Each Orchard comes out so differently because of how the ink ran into each other and blended.

With the 3D version of the card I cut out the individual parts of the orchard and layered them up on the mini dimensionals that we now have with Stampin’ Up, I just love them! 

Again I have used all the same embellishing bling. It really just adds a little bit more to your card to make it 3D. Both cards have been layered on the gorgeous Wood Textured DSP and Basic Grey Card Stock before being placed on a Rich Razzleberry cardbase. Aren’t you just loving the wood textured DSP I sure am!

On the inside of the card I have stamped the image of the orchard in Rich Razzleberry, a card is never complete without a little decoration on the inside.

Stampin' Up - Favourite New Bundle

Today the Art with Heart Team girls are showing you their favourite bundles from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. Bundles make creating a breeze, because of the perfect coordination. It's a bonus that you get 10% off by bundling the products together too. There are 24 bundles in the new catalogue so ask us about them, or for a catalogue today!

When I heard that the theme of our blog hop was favourite bundle I couldn’t wait until I could get my hands on the Climbing Orchid Bundle. Oh, how I love Orchids. I had orchids and frangipani in my wedding bouquet.

Didn’t my Mum do a fantastic job of my bouquet?

She even hand made the flowers for the top of my cake? The Cake tins we used for my cakes are the same tins that were used for my Grandparents wedding cake and my parents wedding cake. All of this is why I just had to have the Climbing Orchid Bundle.

Here is my card and I know it isn’t an orchid it is a frangipani!

  

I have cut out the petals of the fragipani with the largest 3 petal shape from the Orchid Builder Framelits and then cut them into individual petals to a slight point to where the centre of the flower will be. With my bone folder I have just rolled each petal to give it some curve. I have added the colour to the white frangipani with the water colour pencil, daffodil delight and pumpkin pie. All the petals are joined together with some Multi liquid Glue laying one on top of the other at the center point and working your way around.

To finish of the little bouquet I have used tranquil tide card stock stamped with the leaves from the climbing orchid stamp set and then cut out using the framelits, all placed on a lace doily with berry burst ribbon and layered on colour theory designer series paper.

The sentiment punched out with the Duet Banner Punch and inside text of the card are from the stamp set Special Celebrations.
