Welcome to week nineteen of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop!
This is a weekly blog hop where we showcase the stunning range of Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order over 12 months and this week we are featuring Evening Evergreen, a very dark and dramatic 2021-2023 In Colour.
Because Evening Evergreen is the darkest of Stampin’ Up! greens I thought I would try pairing it with the brightest of Stampin’ Up! greens – Parakeet Party – and I’ve decided I really love this colour combination!
The embossed layer couldn’t be simpler. After embossing Basic White card stock with the Fern 3D Embossing folder use blending brushes to add Evening Evergreen and Parakeet Party ink to the ferns.
I trimmed the embossed layer to 9.5 x 13.8cm, adhered it to a Parakeet Party 10 x 14.3cm cardstock layer and then adhered both of these layers to a a 10.5 x 14.8 cm Evening Evergreen layer – half a A4 sheet of cardstock.
The “Sending” layered die is from the Sending Dies. The secret to success with using a layering word die like this is to add an adhesive sheet behind the cardstock BEFORE you die cut the word out. It turns your die into a sticker that you can easily reposition to get it perfectly aligned.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Tina Gillespie – I can’t wait to see what Tina has made this week!

Cathy this card is beautiful!
The background is the star of the show here, Cathy. I love the colours and they way you have blended them so beautifully onto those gorgeous ferns. Love it!
Just love it
Your inked, embossed background is perfection, and I love how you’ve let it shine by keeping the rest of the card simple.
What a magical colour combo, and how perfect with the fern embossing folder. Great tip about the adhesive sheet.
I’m a lover of green, so ADORE this, Cathy! A simple, but oh-so-effective, technique … and I agree, it’s a fab colour combination.
Your card is stunning in it’s simplicity Cathy, I love the colours you’ve used
That embossing folder is so beautiful, and I love the way you have coloured it, then made the colours pop by layering them on the Evening Evergreen. It’s just beautiful Cathy!
LOVE these colours together Cathy. Gorgeous card!!
A delightful card Cathy. Like you I love the combination of Evening Evergreen and Parakeet Party. You have shown these colours beautifully by blending over the Fern embossing folder. Love your Sending sentiment (I keep forgetting the adhesive sheet until I am about to adhere my die cut. Hopefully I will remember your prompt next time. Xxx
