Hi fellow stampers! Welcome to this weeks Colour Creations blog hop where members of the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! demonstrators showcase a new colour every Wednesday. Tonight’s colour is Pool Party, A light blue that sits in the Subtles colour family.
Tonight’s cards include something’old’ from the AC and something ‘new’ from the mini catalogue. The gorgeous DSP I have used this week is Texture Chic and it contains colours such as Pool Party, Evening Evergreen, Mango Melody, Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede. The other coordinating specialty paper is Distressed Gold.
I have used Pool Party card base for both cards. In my first card the next layer is the Distressed Gold paper and before adhering to the card base I die cut some sprigs and hexagons to use on both cards. The paper is just too gorgeous to waste whole layers! These and other leaf die cuts were die cut using Framed Florets and Something Fancy die sets (both Mini).
A DSP layer was adhered to the Distressed Gold and the sprigs, leaves and hexagons arranged with dimensionals or glue dots. The sentiment from Something Fancy is stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.
To finish I adhered a bow using Simply Elegant Trim and some Brushed Metallic adhesive backed dots.
I adhered another distressed-look DSP layer inside the card and the sentiment was stamped using Pool Party ink from the Celebrating You stamp set, a very versatile set with sentiments for many occasions.
The second card uses the same DSP but with Petal Pink which complements Pool Party nicely as both are in the Subtles colour family. Pool Party can be seen in the DSP hexagon together with the shape stamped with the sentiment.
A closer look at the gold bits which I love combined with Pool Party.
Rosa, you have showcased the stunning Texture Chic DSP and the Distressed Gold paper perfectly with your gorgeous cards. Who knew that Pool Party and gold looked so good together!
ReplyDeleteStunning card Rosa. The Distressed Gold paper looks wonderful with the Texture Chic DSP
ReplyDeleteYour cards are both so pretty Rosa. I like the way you used 3 hexagons to draw the eye to the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty cards, Rosa. A lovely combination of the subtle colours with a touch of gold. I love how the sentiments look on the hexagons. Caroline.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Rosa but especially the first one. I really love how well the Distressed Gold paper goes with the Texture Chic. The bow and the gold dots compliment the design beautifully. I also love the inside of the card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Rosa. Loving all that beautiful gold with Pool Party. The layering on your first card is stunning with those three hexagons and die cuts, trim embellishments.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards, Rosa. I don't think I would have thought to use gold with Pool Party, but wow! What a gorgeous combination. Your first card is my stand-out favourite, with all the Distressed Gold "bits", and lots of gorgeous detail.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are gorgeous - your layering is superb! The trio of hexagons was the perfect choice to go with the DSP.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Rosa. I love your use of the Textured Chic SDSP and your layering with the Distressed Gold, the hexagons and die cut pieces. xxx
