Hi fellow stampers! Welcome to Week 23 of the Colour Creations blog hop where members of the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! demonstrators showcase a new colour every Wednesday. Tonight’s colour is Gorgeous Grape. The darkest purple in the Stampin’ Up! and found in the Brights colour family.
In tonight’s card I decided to use Gorgeous Grape ink and a water painter to brush the purple onto the larger flowers. The image was stamped with Memento Black ink onto Shimmery White card stock. The leaves have been done the same using Pear Pizzazz and the tiny flowers with Fresh Freesia, although hard to see that bit!
A second image was stamped and the sentiment was fussy cut and coloured with Dark Crumb Cake blends. I have used the Colour Lifter to add highlights to the banner. I adhered the banner with dimensionals onto the card front. The coloured image was die cut using the Deckled rectangles die set and adhered to another deckled rectangle mat of Gorgeous Grape card stock.
Some Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape were also adhered to the front. The DSP layer used is from Hues of Happiness DSP and I have wrapped some Natural Woven Ribbon around this before adhering to the Gorgeous Grape card base. Lastly I added some Wink of Stella to the sentiment and large flowers.

Have a marvellous week ahead all!

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous, Rosa! I love the aged look you've achieved with the sentiment - it looks amazing with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at ordering this stamp set today, decided against it, and now I'm kicking myself! Wow, Rosa - what a beauty this card is. I LOVE how you've coloured the flowers, and the banner, and really like that you've popped the banner up, and added Wink of Stella to your card. Utterly gorgeous!
