Welcome to week three of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
Today we’re featuring another of the new 2024-26 In Colors: Pretty in Pink. I’ve created this graphic to show how Pretty in Pink compares to the current pinks in the Stampin Up! colour range.
This week’s card continues the Country Woods Suite theme. My Pretty in Pink card uses the Country Flowers bundle to create a flower market scene backed by a layer of Country Lace DSP.
I’ve CASED this card from page 48 of the Annual Catalogue. I loved the white painted tips of the milking stool, created with Pecan Pie light and dark Stampin’ Blends.
My version of this card has a colour scheme theat pairs Pretty in Pink with Granny Apple Green and a mix of neutrals: Basic Black, Basic White, Pecan Pie and Smoky Slate. I’ve also used the Country Lace DSP instead of an embossed cardstock layer.
Stampin’ Blends are the secret to creating dimension on the flower market tin container and the Pretty in Pink teapot. The Stampin’ Blends Colour Lifter pulls colour from images I’ve coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers to create additional highlights and dimension.
Blending the Pretty in Pink, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends makes it easy to create colourful pink and green variegated plants too.
The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, die cut out using an online exclusive die: Happy Little Things Dies. I then adhered the die cut sentiment to a strip of Smoky slate cardstock and used my paper snips to trim the ends to match the die cut.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

Love this CASE of the catalogue, and the subtle changes you made. The plants and pot look great in pink.
Fantastic CASE Cathy. I love your choice of colour palette and DSP for the background. Thanks for the close up photos. I really enjoyed studying your colouring technique. The pink and green plant is fabulous.
Very pretty, Cathy, these sure are your colours. I love the DSP choice and the colours work beautifully together.
Such a beautiful card Cathy and in fact I prefer your version. Love your colouring of the teapot and pail. This stamp set is surprisingly becoming a favourite for me.
Great card CASE and you’ve picked a lovely colour combo for it.
Love your colour choices, love the paper, love the stamps you’ve used! Beautiful card, Cath. Such a lovely way to showcase Pretty in Pink.
