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!

Week 37 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - Poppy Parade

Welcome to colour creations blog hop for the last week of February 2022. I can not believe it is the end of February already.

Well this week the team is look at the bright colour of Poppy Parade!

 I have decided to try a new technique this week as I needed to try it for a swap that I am in and I thought well why not try it for our colour creations blog hop and see if I like it then I can do it for my swap. Well I liked it so it will be happening for my swaps!

So I have used the gorgeous Blessings of Home Bundle for my card and used the Bleach out image technique. So how did I make my focal point image.

I stamped the large image in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake card stock and then sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and heat set that! Then I took an old water painter and a little bit bleach and started to paint the image with the bleach. As you can see as it starts to dry the paper becomes more yellow and you can see if you missed any spots.

Once the bleach is completely dry then you can start to colour with your Stampin' Blends

Once I had coloured with my Stampin' Blends of light and dark Poppy Parade, Dark Soft Succulent and light Evening Evergreen, Dark Crumb Cake and Dark Soft Suede, I then cut the image out with the dies form the Flowers of Home Dies. I did start to fussy cut it out then remembered I have the dies for this stamp set and stopped just in time! Phew! as you can see in the top corner I have coloured a little of poppy parade so you can see what it looks like when the card was not bleached. I think the bleaching makes the Poppy Parade really Pop!

To back the focal flower I have used the Splatters 3D embossing folder and I have used the leaf and branches dies from the Flowers and Home Dies and have cut them out in  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Soft Succulent and Vellum Card stock. 

As you can see I have again used the gold shimmer ribbon and frayed a little under the flower and layered a little under the  birthday sentiment which I have stamped in Early Espresso and then clear embossed it before cutting it out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.

I hope you liked this look at Poppy Parade and this fun technique. It really pops off the page in real life and is fun to do. I hope you give it a try.

Now is the time where you head to the next person on the journey of Poppy Parade and this week it is the lovely Cathy Proctor.

Week 36 - Colour Creations Showcase - "Poppy Parade"

 

 

This week we are showcasing Poppy Parade!

Last week I brought to you a  double slider card, I had so much fun making it I thought I would I would bring you a quadruple slider card. Yes that is right 4 sliders. It is a small and cute card and I have used the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Flowers and Field DSP from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure which has Poppy Parade as one of its colours.

I love how compact this little card is

On the front of this card I have stamped  the small daisy from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Sahara sand 6 times and then using a little bit of light and dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends and Dark Daffodil Delight. The leaves are in mossy meadow cut from the Dandy Garden dies and I have used the Well Written dies to cut out our friend and butterfly in Silver Card stock and some Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

On the 4 sliders you can add stamped messages. I have used 2 from the Daisy Lane stamp set here and left 2 blank but you can add more.

When you  you turn the card over you have more opportunity to decorate your card. I have left it plain this time just leaving a space for you to write a message.

When you pull out the sliders I have decorated them with basic black card stock and another of the Flower and Field DSP pieces.

There are so many opportunities for putting fun sayings on this card so go wild with this explosion slider type card.

Like my card last week this card uses a sliding mechanism with a plastic bag and I used a freezer bag to make it. I have not made instructions this week but you can follow this video by Srushti Patil that I also followed then made my own decorations.

I hope you have liked a look at this fun fold and maybe give it a go. I might make instructions next time but I ran out of time this week as even in lockdown we have been quite busy buying a house. No not to move but our son is moving. So doing all the things with vendors and building inspections and lawyers in a snap lockdown. I am feeling very old that my son is old enough to move out  but I am very excited for him. So I am sorry that I haven't done the instructions for you.

Please head on over to the very creative Cathy Proctor's blog she hosts our Colour Creation Showcases each week, there you will find her wonderful creations and the list of the ladies playing along with Poppy Parade this week: Cathy's Blog

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anymore information about my card tonight or about how to get this gorgeous DSP for free with Saleabration we have just a few days left so be quick.
