Week 17 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Garden Green"

 

Welcome to week 17 of our Colour Creations Showcase. Tonight we are showcasing one of the gorgeous green colours that Stampin' Up! has for you to choose from when making your projects.

This Week Garden Green

Well for my card this week I wanted to try something different. I googled..... yes I googled green flowers and actually found quite a few. I knew there were some other than succulents but I wanted to check to see if stamping my daisy was too far out there! No not really.

Granted this is more Granny Apple Green in colour but I went for it anyway.

I chose to do quite a monochromatic card with just a hint of colour to represent the sunset! 

When I had finished I almost thought ok now the colours are reminding me of some of the houses that my hubby and I looked at when we were trying to buy our house and the kitchens were stuck in the 70's and 80's. You know what I mean! 😂😂

Apart from the colour that you can't not see now! This card has lots of fun elements. Beautiful Garden Green stamped daisies that have been punched out with the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch. I decided to do 3 of each size to make it a lush and full bloom. I adhered them together with Stampin' Seal and then added a mini dimensional between the smaller daisy and the larger daisy!

Hans Christian Anderson is quoted as saying "Living is not enough, one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower" I think my flower needed a little bling with the gold glitter enamel dots and Wink of Stella as well!

I have used the Subtles 3D embossing folder to add some texture and interest to the white space of the card and do you see the circle that I have cut out. I have used the largest of the Stitched shaped Dies and even though you can't see the stitching here I will have a stitched circle ready to go for another project.

I have added the gorgeous leaves cut from Forever Flourishing dies in Garden Green card stock behind the daisy and over lapping my sunset that can be made by popping a piece of Artistry Blooms DSP behind my peekaboo window! It almost reminds me of a scene in the Roger's and Hammerstein Musical South Pacific! Not sure why maybe the cover of the movie. I have been singing "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair" all afternoon! 😂 

Our beautiful Brass foil was just perfect for this card and I have used the Well Written dies for the word "Friend" and the "butterfly" I first adhered the foil onto the adhesive sheet before putting them through the Emboss & Cut machine and it is just perfect for this thing. You need to get some of those sheets if you haven't already!

Well my time is up for living in the 60's, 70's and 80's so if you have any Stampin' Up! needs or would like to purchase the products to make this card. It is really quick to make. Please contact me.  Don't forget the 24hr Stamp sale has just under 2 hours to go so be quick if you still need to get something on your wish list.

Stampin' Up - Art With Heart Team Blog Hop November 2018 - Sketch Challenge

Well this is the last Art With Heart team monthly blog hop for this year however the weekly colour creation hops are on going through out the year so there is still plenty of inspiration from the team.

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring a card sketch. We hope you like how we have each put our own spin on the sketch and that it inspires you to get creative and make some fabulous cards. If you are inspired by the sketch, please share with us!

I have been quite literal in my interpretation of the sketch tonight and made a Christmas card with it!

I have used the Illuminated Christmas and His Light stamp sets for this card. The Subtle TIEF was used on champagne foil paper. I do have a love of copper foil but I thought I would use the champagne foil today and it looks so gorgeous embossed in the subtles folder. I have to thank Kate Morgan for that lovely idea as she used it a few weeks ago in one of her blog posts.

I have heat embossed the star in copper on very vanilla and then highlighted with daffodil delight ink using a sponge dauber. The gorgeous DSP is from the Joyous Noel Specialty pack and the little bow is made with a combination of the cherry cobbler and very vanilla festive farmhouse cotton twine.

The sentiment is from the His Light stamp set and I have cut it out using one of the thinlits from Petals and More thinlits pack. The rhinestones on either end are the clear ones but I have used my dark cherry cobber Stampin' Blends to colour them.

Now it is time to hop over to my the lovely and talented friend Monika, I always look forward to seeing what she has created for our blog hops.

Stampin' Up - Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 22 - Grapefruit Grove

I am having a lot of fun when I get the chance to hop along with the Art With Heart team and challenge myself with the next colour in the list of gorgeous colours that Stampin' Up has to offer. This week it is Grapefruit Grove and it is one of the new In Colours for 2018-2020.

It is a very vibrant and gorgeous colour and I think you are going to like it a lot.

I have done a very simple and quick card for you tonight. I know you had better sit down. It is not a fancy fold card. 

For this card I have embossed the Grapefruit Grove card stock twice. The first time through the big shot I embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder ( DTIEF) and then I put it through the big shot a second time using the Tufted DTIEF.

Here is an up close look at the card stock so you can see both impressions.

It really looks gorgeous adding that extra bit of texture to the already beautiful Tufted DTIEF.

For the gorgeous Designer Series Paper I have used Nature's Poem I really love Blackberry bliss and the Petal Pink that is in this particular piece. Grapefruit Grove is one of the colours that is featured in the Nature's Poem DSP.

The Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon is just beautiful and is perfect to be the backdrop for the greeting that I have used from the stamp set Petal Palette and cut out using the Petals and More Thinlits that coordinate with this gorgeous stamp set. I popped it up on a few dimensionals.

To get the design on the front of the card I have simply cut the embossed piece of grapefruit grove card stock on an angle and then the piece I had left I cut the little extra bit to add as well.

Make sure you hop on over to the lovely Cathy Proctor so that you can see more inspiration for the colour Grapefruit grove. 

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help in making this card or for any of your craft need.

Thank you for spending some time with me today.
