Stampin’ Up! Soft Sea Foam – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 49

Welcome everyone to this week's Colour Creations Showcase and ink colour Soft Sea Foam, a pale green and another colour from the Subtles family - same as last weeks So Saffron. When I see Soft Sea Foam I often think of natural and organic colours and textures and so have used this as an inspiration for my card this week.

The vase is punched out using the Jar punch in Soft Sea Foam card stock and then run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine using one of the Greenery embossing folders (this comes in a set of two smaller sized folders). This gives a slightly raised pattern on the vase. I have added some of the gorgeously new Soft Succulent open weave ribbon at the rim of the 'vase'.

The various greenery and flowers were cut from dies in the Pierced Blooms and Poinsettia sets using Basic White, Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam and Soft Succulent card stock colours and Assorted DSP. 

Lastly, the sentiment has been stamped and die cut using the Art Gallery bundle. I have used Soft Succulent ink colour here as I did not have Soft Sea Foam ink to play around with this week. At the bottom I have stamped some inky spots in Crumb Cake using a stamp from the Forever Fern set.

 Thank you so much for stopping by this week and for more inspiration from the other lovely ladies you can hop over to Cathy Proctor's blog. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead, stay healthy and happy!

 

Stampin' Up! Mothers Day with Art Gallery bundle

Happy Monday everyone! I thought I would start the week off with a card for Mother's Day as it is fast approaching. The Art Gallery bundle from Stampin' Up! has some lovely painterly flowers which I love to use especially with a range of colour inks offered by Stampin' Up!

The ink colours I have used on this card include Rococo Rose for the two-stamp flower where I have stamped once for the first stamp and then stamped once off for the second stamp to provide 2 shades of the same ink colour.

The leaves are from a variety of die and stamp sets in Mint Macaron, Just Jade and Garden Green card stock and ink colours. I have used Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Flourishing dies for several leaves together with dies from Pierced Blooms and Nature's Thoughts sets as well. 

The smaller flowers are also from the Pierced Blooms die set. All these will be continuing to the new Stampin' Up! 2021-22 catalogue which is available from 4th May this week! Please keep an eye out for it and I'm sure you won't be disappointed in some of the new products being offered.

The card base is Flirty Flamingo card stock and a Basic White layer that has been embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder (retiring soon). I have then added three layers of 2021-22 DSP Assortments in Mint Macaron that have been cut using Stitched Rectangles dies. The Mother's Day greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set in Rococo Rose ink which is a retiring ink when the current catty ends tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to catch you on Wednesday for the AWH Team Colour Creations Showcase and the colour Smoky Slate. Have a great week ahead!
