Welcome to week twenty-three of our 2020-2021 Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase.
Each week various members of our Art With Heart Colour Creations team will be bringing you weekly colour inspiration as we showcase our range of over 50 beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.
Week 23 – Magenta Madness
This week I’ve drawn inspiration from one of Stampin Up!’s retired products: the Everything is Rosy product medley which featured a stunning colour combination of Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Rose Gold and Whisper White.
Because Night of Navy and Melon Mambo looked so beautiful together in the Everything is Rosy product medley I thought I’d use a similar colour combination for my Magenta Madness card, using a selection of 2019-21 and 2020-22 In Colours.
Rococo Rose is a lot “muddier” than Magenta Madness but because I used my light Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend I think I managed to get away with using these very different tones of pink together on my cards today.
All three cards feature the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set, the co-ordinating Budding Blooms dies and the 2020–2022 In colour 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I needed to make some thank you cards for customers so for all three cards I used the lovely thank you sentiment from Bloom & Grow. The floral images and sentiments were stamped in Memento before colouring with Stampin’ Blends.
This first card doesn’t include Rococo Rose – the flowers are coloured using the light and dark Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends.
My next card includes Rococo Rose and like the other two cards I’ve coloured Rhinestone Jewels with my dark Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blend to customise my embellishments.
The lovely scalloped edge on the Whisper White card stock layer is easy to achieve with the Budding Blooms dies – just use a pencil to mark the middle and the sides of the card stock before you die cut to ensure the angle on both sides matches.
My final card was designed to use up the off cuts of the designer series paper from the previous two cards and as so often happens I end up liking the “use it all up card” the best!

What a beautiful colour combination Cathy – the two blues are perfect for off-setting that rather in your face pink 🙂
I just adore your cards! Gorgeous!
Catherine your colour palette is gorgeous……I love the two pinks and the two blues together and then altogether they just work. My favourite is card three and I might just need to case your clean design. Lovely.
Sweet and pretty thank you cards, Catherine. Your colour combo is just beautiful as is your colouring with the blends. Oh so pretty. xx
Beautiful cards as always Cathy. I really love Magenta Madness teamed with Misty Moonlight.
So very pretty Cathy, I would love a thank you card like this. I’m sure who ever receives them will love them as well.
Absolutely adore your colour combination, stunning with this stamp set. Gorgeous xx
Your cards are gorgeous, I love how you have toned down the the brightness of magenta madness.
Such beautiful thank you cards Cathy. I love your colour combination – it shows Magenta Madness brilliantly. Your customers will be delighted. (So glad I didn’t choose Bloom & Grow this week – it did pass through my mind.) xxx
I love all your cards, Cathy – so beautiful! Magental Madness looks great with Misty Moonlight. I wouldn’t have expected it to also work well with Rococo Rose, but the two pinks look fab together! Love the coloured rhinestones; the perfect embellishment.
Magenta, not Magental. 🙂
Lovely cards Cathy. I love the colour combinations you’ve used, it makes Magenta Madness look not quite so bright
