Colour Creations -Week #40 - Poppy Parade

The participants in AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. We love to Blog Hop sharing all the Stampin' Up! Colours alphabetically. This is week #40 and the lovely Poppy Parade is our colour.

Sometimes, even when you like the colour, and I do like Poppy Parade, it can be hard to think of a new way to feature it. Inspiration can be sought from designer series paper quite often, but this time I've taken a leaf out of my friend Tina's book and had a look to see what Brian King had combined.

Tahitian Tide and Poppy Parade are very happy companions, I wasn't so sure about the Highland Heather! The answer to that is to use only a tiny amount and it seems to have worked.

In fact, the colours in the finished project remind me so much of Dr Zeus's Cat in the Hat!

I had some fun stamping sentiments on the background in a organised-random way. Yes, that does sound a bit contradictory, but I wanted the words to be straight, while scattered. The Stamparatus helped me achieve that with a combination of step-stamping and moving the white card stock.

There are several sentiments in Best Day so a different one was stamped inside.

Next talented team member to share is Tina Gillespie, so let's see how she has mixed up the colours!
