Stampin’ Up! Rococo Rose – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 42


Hello everyone hope it's been a great week and notably a short week as we head into the Easter break. How fast has this year gone!!! This week I am using Rococo Rose for the Colour Creations Showcase. Rococo Rose is part of the 2019-21 In Colours and will be retiring in June when the current Stampin' Up! annual catalogue finishes. A dusky pink that is very versatile and coordinates nicely with other colours in their range.


This week I have used the stamps, dies and embossing folder from the Sand and Sea suite which I couldn't wait to play with as it is just gorgeous! So my card base is Rococo Rose overlaid with a piece of Pearlescent Specialty paper which I coloured using Rococo Rose ink and the new blending brushes in the Mini catalogue to give it a pale pink sheen...just beautiful. Once dried (it didn't take long), I used the large die comprised of various shells and seaweed to cut the shape and then emboss using the matching embossing folder in this suite.

The effect is stunning with the raised patterns on the shells and seaweed. Behind this I placed a circle cut from the Stitched Shapes dies in Whisper White and stamped the bubbles in Crumb Cake. The birthday greeting was stamped in Rococo Rose ink onto Blushing Bride card stock and cut using the die from Tasteful Labels set.

Behind the greeting I have added some Linen thread which has been plaited to give it a rope-like effect. And then popped some Opal Rounds to the card base to provide a little bling. The card has also been stamped on the inside with another greeting and the pretty shells in Rococo Rose and Blushing Bride, and the starfish in Crumb Cake inks.
