AWH Colour Creations - Week 46 - Smoky Slate

Hi everyone!

Welcome to this weeks Colour Creations blog hop with the Art with Heart team. Here we are at Week 46 and our featured colour tonight is Smoky Slate.

I love Smoky Slate. It's a lovely, silvery grey with almost a sheen to it.

Smoky Slate 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - Neutrals Collection

I've gone for a very quick and easy card for tonight's hop.

To a Whisper White cardbase, I added a panel of the Smoky Slate cardstock that I die-cut the centre from with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. I was going to add my Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack panel straight onto the white background, but then decided to replace the centre of the rectangle and pop up the focal image on dimensionals. I glued the panel onto some silver foil first.

The only other addition to the front of the card were the three pearls.

And there you go - quick, simple and easy.

Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack

Our Memories & More card packs are ideal if you're in need of a quick make card. Choose a design that has a sentiment and your work is almost done.

*Note: If you were thinking of getting this pack, it is on Low Inventory so get in quick!

For the inside of the card, I chose one of the larger cards from the pack and simply added the white writing panel to echo the front of the card.

I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate and it comes from the Well Said stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue.

Well that's it from me tonight, hop over to Catherine's blog to see all of the other Smoky Slate creations from the team.

Thanks for stopping by. 

After tonight, we have just 4 colours left in our Colour Creations blog hop! I hope you'll check in each week to see what the team creates with the remaining colours.

AWH Colour Creations - Week 38 - Pool Party

Hello & welcome everyone.

Another week, another Colour Creations blog hop from the Art with Heart team, and another square card from me tonight.

This is Week 38 and our colour is Pool Party.

Pool Party 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - Subtles Collection

What a lovely, soft and cooling colour Pool Party is. On my card I've combined it with Night of Navy, and one of the great patterns from the Twinkle Twinkle DSP in the Annual Catalogue. I layered the DSP onto a piece of Night of Navy that I ran through the Subtles embossing folder. I had a play around with the Well Said bundle, and that's where the sentiments and the flowers, stems and little bird came from. This is a fantastic bundle, and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more!

I cut out the stitched oval from Whisper White and using the same die and a scalloped oval, I cut out the Pool Party frame. I inset the stitched oval inside the frame and used sticky tape on the back to hold the whole thing together as one piece. Then I just popped it up on dimensionals. I had to trim the stems a little as they were too long, I used Soft Sea Foam for these, with Pool Party flowers. Can you see the sparkle on the flowers? Where would I be without my Wink of Stella?! I added a basic rhinestone to each of the centres. The little birdie is so cute. He has a retired black rhinestone as his eye. My bow is made from the Pool Party shimmer ribbon. Using my dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blend marker, I added dots to each of the scallops around the oval frame.

The word 'best' was stamped in Pool Party and cut out with the smallest Rectangle Stitched Framelits die. It isn't this small really. I cut the whole rectangle out first, and then laid the die back over the shape to cut again creating the smaller rectangle. It aligns pretty well, and you can feel it fall into place fairly easily. The die-cut word 'wishes', comes from the Well Written Framelits Dies.
You really should check this bundle out. It's in the Occasions Catalogue on Page 27.

This is what I did on the inside of the card.

I added a piece of the DSP, then a stitched square for the message. And isn't that a sweet little butterfly?! He's also from the Well Written Framelits.

Well, that's it from me, thanks for stopping by.
