Welcome to week twenty nine of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we are showcasing Highland Heather, a lovely soft purple colour from the subtles family. Can you guess the other colours I’ve paired it with on my thank you card?
There are actually just four colours on this card: Highland Heather, Night of Navy, Lost Lagoon and Basic White.
I’ve used a blending brush to achieve different shades of purple with Highland Heather ink. I die cut the coloured cardstock using flower dies from the Around The Bend Dies.
The leaves have been cut from the Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Paper Combo Pack, on sale for three days, reduced to $15.40. Aren’t these colours just stunning together?
It’s hard to capture the soft shimmer of this specialty paper in a photo, but it looks amazing in real life.
The white heat embossed thank you sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set.
The Fresh Freesia gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack are the finishing touch.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Woollard – I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!

Welcome to week twenty eight of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we are showcasing Grey Granite, a brownish grey that is part of the neutrals family. Gray Granite is a wonderful colour for masculine cards or nature scenes and today I’ve used it to create a birthday card for my brother-in-law.
Gray Granite goes really well with both silver and gold, so it was the ideal colour to us as a card base for a special ‘twist and pop’ 60th birthday card.
Here’s what the card looks like inside when it is opened up.
Here’s a short video to show how it pops up to reveal the lovely surprise inside.
The four pop-up panels have been stamped in Gray Granite with images and sentiments from the the Year to Celebrate Stamp Set.
Gold and silver foil embellishments have been die cut using the Merries Tree dies.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan – I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

The challenge for Day 8 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is called ‘Christmas Letters’.
I’ve used the gorgeous letter box from the Stamped with Love Stamp Set, stamped in versmark onto Real Red card stock and heat embossed with gold emboss powder.
The Joy of Noel Dies were used to die cut Garden Green and Old Olive cardstock to create the greenery behind the letterbox.
Before I adhered the letterbox and the foliage to the front of the card, I used a Blending Brush to add some Pool Party ink to the card base.
I thought a very modern sentiment in a typewriter font would work well with all the white space on this card, so I’ve used the ‘so you get a card’ sentiment from the ‘Just My Type’ stamp set.
The challenge for Day 5 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is the following sketch.
I’ve used the Deckled Circles dies and the Handcrafted Elements Dies to create three Christmas ornaments.
The background of this card has been created using a blending brush and Pool Party ink. The embellishments are the gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins.
Pretty Peacock card stock and ink, silver foil and Snowflake Magic 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper all combine beautifully for a monochrome effect.
