Those Balmy Winter Blues



My favourite colour is blue and there are a lot of new blues in the Stampin' Up! spectrum - as well as greens, purples etc - its a fantastic explosion of colour!!! This Art With Heart blog is a group of demonstrators from all over Australia and we love to get together and create to a specific theme. This is the Colour Creations Blog Hop featuring a different shade each week and this week's star is Balmy Blue.




Something old, something new, nothing borrowed, lots of blue! Blue is my favourite colour and Balmy Blue is a delightful addition to the Stampin' Up! colour range.


 Something old was the Touches of Texture stamp set. The lacy stamp is a favourite of mine, look how it turns this into a pretty, feminine card so easily. I've stamped directly onto Tranquil Textures designer series paper. The flower outline and sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy, but when I came to look for ribbon, the new Blueberry Bushel was all that I had in blue that was current. I do want you to be able to purchase items if you want to CASE my card, but you can substitute your preference.


Enjoy Life is a stamp set designed by million dollar seller Connie Fitzgerald. It is a very diverse stamp set, with some sporty images which will be good for masculine cards, but other occasions also. I have only made a couple of cards so far using Enjoy Life, but that will change very soon.

Here is a list of the others from Art With Heart who took part this week.

  3. Rachel, your card is simply gorgeous. It is soft and pretty and feminine and the striking Blueberry Bushel ribbon is a beautiful contrast against the Balmy Blue.
