Colour Creations Blog Hop - Lemon Lime Twist - Week 30

 

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person. 

Lemon- Lime Twist, a returning In Color is our colour of the week for week 30. We are very spoiled for choice when it comes to green shades at the moment, and this is one of three 'sharp, acidic' greens.

With a self-challenge to use a neglected set of stamps or dies, I turned to Quiet Meadow. As well as some lovely, stamped images, including text backgrounds, it has wonderful die cut foliage and butterflies.

Granny Apple Green is another of the acidic greens which provides a pleasant contrast to the brighter Lemon- Lime Twist, used here to provide some dimension to the sprigs.

Lemon-Lime ribbon is one part of a duo of ribbon, released with the Zoo Crew suite.

Something Fancy is a stamp set of sentiments only, very useful to have on the shelf.

It's a shame I haven't been able to capture the detail on the butterflies, but you can see the edging on the Basic Border die, one of 6 in that set.

Next we are heading to the blog of my friend Rachel Woollard. I'm sure you'll love her project.

If at any time you find a broken link or would like to see a full list of participants, please head to the blog of our host of the AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop, Catherine Proctor.

Happy crafting, 

CTC# 419 CASE A Love Project

CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too.

Some of the crew will share Mother's Days cards I'm sure, and if you are a Mum, I do hope your day is everything you hoped for. 

My Mother left us 14 years ago, so I made a birthday card instead.

 Quiet Meadow, a carryover stamp was my choice to CASE & use. You will find this stamp on page 66 and the Meadow dies are found on page 164. 

A flower image was stamped onto a deckled rectangle in Petal Pink and another onto basic white. The white one was fussy cut and coloured with blends. 

The green card is the one I CASEd changing the main colour to Flirty Flamingo. Many elements of my card are copied from the catalogue sample, but hopefully I have selectively edited well enough to create something different. The text stamp was stamped in versamark, as in the original, but I chose to put it onto white and use clear embossing powder. It's very subtle, difficult to photograph.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d.

My lovely friend Tina Gillespie is the crew member following this week, I'm excited to see her project.

Colour Creations - Week #21 - Fresh Freesia

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. This is week 21 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and we are sharing Fresh Freesia.

A Fresh Freesia card base with a mat of Highland Heather over, was the starting point. A collage piece using a mask cut from an Adhesive sheet with Split Card Texture die was used to layer some colour onto the background.

The monotone stamping was done with stamps from Quiet Meadow, while sentiments came from Inspired Thoughts. I find this 'sentiment only' stamp set really useful.

Next on the blog hop this week is the fabulous Kathryn Ruddick.

Farewell Just Jade

At the beginning of May we will bid farewell to 5 retiring InColors, including Just Jade. This green fitted very comfortably into the Stampin' Up! Color Family, and will be sadly missed, I suspect.

This Hand-Penned card uses Just Jade for the card base, ribbon, background stamping and leaves.

A text stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set provides background colour and texture to support the main image. This ribbon is retiring too, and is actually selling for only $8.40 a roll in Last Chance Products. Well -worth visiting the online store to see these specials.

Quiet Meadow

Quiet Meadow has been used once already this week on a very different card, with very different colours. This is a much softer version.

A couple of different sprigs have been die cut  and bunched together for the focal piece. A small linen bow is the finishing touch.

The text stamp from this lovely set has been stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white. A blending brush with Soft Seafoam ink has been rubbed over the area, emphasising the text and providing a defined space for the foliage to be placed.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Night Of Navy

 

The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. This is week 31 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and as we use the colours alphabetically, we are up to Night Of Navy.

Quiet Meadow is perfect for a card expressing thoughtfulness, condolences and sincerity. It's in the 'serious' shades of Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The layers have been skewed, and could easily have been placed straight. This is just a matter of personal preference. They are die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies, 3 consecutive sizes.

Next team member to share this week is the amazing Vicki Boucher
