Welcome to week 45 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Soft Sea Foam from the Subtles family.
This very pale green is combined with Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent in the striped paper in the soon to be retired and currently half price ($10) Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. This monotone striped paper (top right sheet in the photo below) inspired the colour combination for my card today.
Did you know there are actually several variety of green pansies in real life? Regardless, I still would have still made green pansies as I love taking a bit of artistic licence when making my cards.
This Basic Border die provides a lovely scalloped and stitched edge to the Basic White layer and the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (also retiring soon) add a touch of bling to the centre of my pansies.
I just love how these Pansy dies add so much texture at the same as they die cut the flowers out.
The sentiments in the Pansy Patch Stamp Set have the most delightful mix of fonts – I’m so happy these Pansy dies and the Pansy Patch Stamp Set are both carrying over to the new annual catalogue.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Diane– I can’t wait to see what Di has made this week!

Wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx

Catherine, this card is just simply gorgeous! It has lots of elements I love – scalloped edges, faux stitching, stripes and beautiful coloured pansies. What’s not to love!
Bingo on the Pansies – I love your design with that border die, creating a lovely focus towards your flowers. These and the leaves have such beautiful texture with the embossing at the same time as cutting them out!
No, I had no idea that green pansies exist (other than on cards, on which we can invoke creative licence!). How beautiful. I love all the colour and detail on your card, Cathy. You’ve showcased Soft Sea Foam beautifully.
Your green pansies are delightful! I certainly did not know that they existed in real life, but I’m not much of a gardener, so it’s hardly surprising! The scalloped edge on your card is very sweet and combines beautifully with the striped DSP.
