Colour Creations - Week #48 - Soft Sea Foam

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 #48 and Soft Sea Foam is our colour.

It seemed to me like a good idea to team Pretty Peacock (a returning colour) with Soft Sea Foam since I had ink, card and blends still saved from when it was an In Color. Both colours are included in the Hello Irresistible DSP.

The card itself is fairly simple allowing the patterned paper do all the work. The smaller panel has a partial die cut overlay, which had nearly been tossed into recycling when it didn't cut too well.

This solution of trimming it down worked well, adding an extra element of interest.

The Pretty Peacock ink stamped the sentiment, Stampin' Blends were used to colour white ribbon for this card and a tiny glimpse of the card is around the hole in the Tailor Made tag.

Next talented team member to share is the 'other' Rachel, Rachel Woollard

Colour Creations - Week #46 - Smoky Slate

 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 #46 and Smoky Slate is our colour.

Smoky Slate features quite prominently in Abigail Rose DSP. 

This co-ordinates with Cottage Rose, also in the Annual catalogue and still bundled at 10% saving if you were wanting the stamps & the dies. I felt it would be too predictable to use Cottage Rose this time, and I do like the flowers in Greatest Journey just as much.

The DSP I chose first seemed to fade away when I added the white square with flowers, so another piece more strongly shaded was added around the middle and tied with Garden Green twine from the Greatest Journey Suite. You can see these products on page 58-59 of the mini catalogue.

Die cut flowers were added inside without any colouring.

It's always nice to have a plain, straight forward 'Happy birthday' sentiment, good for guys or gals, and Something Fancy fills the bill.

A bonus card using Smoky Slate as the base and pieces from Timeless Greetings Kit (see online shop). 

It's hard to believe that we have nearly reached the end of our colours, with only a few weeks to go until the new Annual catalogue is in our eager hands! I hope you check in next week to see what the team have made with So Saffron.

Next talented team member to share is Catherine Proctor so let's see how she has used Smoky Slate!

Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia are about to retire as In Colors.

I wonder what will replace them?
