Colour Creations - Gorgeous Grape Week 23

 

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.

Recently I purchased the Bouquet of Thanks single stamp from the 2022-23 Annual catalogue. I think it’s a very lovely floral bouquet that can be used in a vintage look card by stamping on Crumb Cake card stock or using rich or softer floral colours. 

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.

Hope you enjoy the remaining blog hop where you can find more Gorgeous Grape inspiration from the next participant, the very talented and lovely Christine Blain.
