Welcome to week two of our Art with Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop! We are showcasing each of the 5 new In Colours for the first 5 weeks before we feature our core colours in alphabetical order.
Our second new In Colour is Parakeet Party, a vibrant lime green that is almost fluorescent. This colour screams happy and demands to be noticed!
Here’s what Parakeet Party looks like in comparison to the other current Stampin’ Up! greens – we have so many gorgeous greens to choose from I had to shrink this image down to fit it on the page!
My card today is very quick and easy to make and shows just how gorgeous Parakeet Party looks with blue/green colours. The background is created using three different blending brushes and these three colours: Pool Party at the top, Parakeet Party in the middle and Bermuda Bay at the base.
The palm trees and grass die cut in Basic Black cardstock using the Paradise Palm dies really pop against this vibrant background.
The sentiment is from the Paradise Palm stamp set, heat embossed in white and die cut using a Potted Succulent die. I really enjoy making gender neutral designs because they are so versatile.
This scene takes me back to very happy time, sitting on a Hawaiian Beach and watching the sunset with my boys.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kathryn Ruddick – I can’t wait to see what Kathryn has made this week!

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

The black die card is the perfect finishing touch for the blended background.
Oh I just love how you have blended your background Cathy it is just gorgeous. The Black silhouette on the top is perfect! Makes me want to run away somewhere nice and warn today!
The black silhouettes are fabulous in front of your beautiful blended background. Lovely colours and I can’t believe there are so many greens in the SU range!
Even though you say your card is quick and easy it is the use of the blending brushes that absolutely makes this card and the addition of the black silhouette adds dramatically. Such a lovely Hawaiian card
So much to love here! The sponging of that colour combo is one I’m going to have to try. The palm tree silhouettes are gorgeous. Great card!
Ooh, I do love a black silhouette against a bright background – and this is gorgeous, Cathy! Oh, to be in Hawaii, hey? One day.
Parakeet Party looks so good with Bermuda Bay especially. I love your idea, for using this gorgeous green.
Oh, wow! Your sunset card looks amazing! The black die cuts really pop against the beautifully blended background. PS – have you forgotten about Starry Sky?
Your card communicates ‘Peace’ – that peace that you feel on a beach at sunset. Your scene is stunning – the black die cuts against your gorgeous blended background. Xxx
Oh, memories of overseas holidays. I love your tropical card, Parakeet Party is perfect with Pool Party and Bermuda Bay.
Wow just love that blended background Cathy. Your tropical card is a great choice to showcase Parakeet Party xx
