Week 42 = Colour Creations Showcase - "Rococo Rose"

This week we are looking at one of my favourite retiring InColors Rococo Rose.

I have made a quick card for you today as I am busily making cakes and food for my son's 25th Birthday.

I have used the gorgeous blending brushes and Rococo Rose, Highland Heather and Blackberry Bliss my absolute favourite colour of all time to create my card tonight and Good Morning Magnolia as I wanted a big beautiful stamp.

I used the basic white and blended the 3 colours with Rococo rose at the top before stamping in Memento Black ink.

I thought well leaves need to have a little green so I picked up my dark Old Olive Stampin' Blend and added just a touch to the leaves. I backed it in Basic Black and put it on a card base of Basic Black and Rococo Rose that has been put through the Cut & Emboss machine in the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing folder. The sentiment is from the Retiring set Here's A Card so make sure you get your hands on that set if you haven't already it is one of my favourites for sentiments. The Silver edged satin ribbon is coloured in using the dark Rococo Rose Stampin' Blend.

The Art With Heart Team are back with another Creative Showcase, this time featuring different colouring techniques.The Stampin’ Up! range contains a bevy of functional and effective colouring tools that include;

I am going to use the gorgeous Good Morning Magnolia stamp set for 2 cards today with 2 different colouring techniques.

A simple colour palette for my first card.

My first card I have used the sponges and the reverse masking technique.

I have cut 2 pieces of whisper white card stock the same size and then used the stitched rectangles to make a mask. I cut out the centre of one piece of the card stock then placed it over the other piece so that I can then use the sponge to colour the background.

I placed a little bit of adhesive in the corners or tape over the edge so that we can take the mask off after using but you need to hold it in place while sponging.

I placed the the large magnolia stamp over the area so that i knew where to sponge the Magenta Madness and the Just Jade ink.

Once I had sponged the 2 colours just overlapping a little and then you get an extra colour from the blending.

Stamping the Magnolia in Memento black ink. Once I had stamped the image and then the greeting I cut out the centre with with the stitched nested label dies.

Pop the outside up on some dimensionals and the inside adhere flat to the Thick Whisper white card base. Quite and effective and simple, quick card to make.

For my second card the technique is a bit more involved but I used the same colours and stamp set so you could see the difference.

I first stamped the large Magnolia in VersaMark on the Fluid 100 WaterColour Paper and heat embossed in white Stampin' Emboss Powder. I then spritzed some water all over the magnolia with the Stampin' Spritzer. I used the reinkers of both the Just Jade and Magenta Madness into the lid of the ink pads and picked it up with the water painter and dropped the ink onto the water and it spreads out onto the leaves and magnolia. Wait for it to dry and then cut out using the Magnolia memory

It is quite a fun way to colour your larger line art images.

Now that I had finished my Magnolia I wanted to show it off so I used the Forever Greenery suite of products to help me a little.

I have a Just Jade card base, I have used Gold Foil, Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, Forever Greenery gold Trim, Forever Flourishing dies to cut out some vellum, crumb cake and soft suede accents. I have popped all of this on a Whisper White Nested Labels Die.
