Colour Creations Blog Hop- Week 47 - Soft Sea Foam

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, which we did recently for Onstage - our annual Stampin' Up! conference. This is week 47 of our blog hop and the featured colour is Soft Sea Foam. 

Soft Sea Foam sits in the Subtles family and so does the returning-as-an-InColor, Pretty in Pink, a happy companion. My ink pads have been delayed somewhere but I did receive new Stampin' Blends and so I was able to colour with those.

Before die cutting using Sentimental Park dies, a piece of adhesive sheet was added to the back of the card stock. That makes it so much easier to add them to the card front without mess.

The flowers were stamped in Smoky Slate to keep them soft before adding the colour.

After adding pearls to the flower centres, I decided a few other larger ones seemed appropriate.

Heartfelt Hexagon stamps and punch are big favourites of mine, and it looks like they may be still available at the end of the catalogue, even if only in the Online Exclusives.

Let's go check out the lovely Christine Blain's work of art.

Happy crafting, 

 

Color Challenge

Sometimes when I need inspiration I look for a challenge. This week I spotted a colour challenge set by Connie Stewart at Simply Simple Stamping. She is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in USA.

These colours are very pleasing anyway so it suited me to try using them with Birds Eye View which has been my 'go to' stamp this week.

This bird is probably my favourite, I like colouring the striped wing. I also pulled a few stamps from Sentimental Park and Charming Sentiments to fill out the card front.

Radiating Stitches dies are a stand-alone online exclusive, which just means you won't find them in a catalogue, but they can be viewed in the online store. They cut the Basic White piece I've stamped on, plus the heart. The Banner is from the newly released Nested Essential dies, which you will find on page 165 of the Annual Catalogue. You can browse my shop and place an order there or contact me to order if you prefer.

Best Day For Cats

 

Gosh, I've had some fun with this stamp set but it's retiring at the end of April. I've probably used the cupcake kitty most of the images, its always fun deciding which colour cat it will be this time.

Best Day hasn't been reduced in price, but it's still a good buy with a couple of verses you can use on the inside of a card.
