Welcome to week forty-three of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Pumpkin Pie, a bright orange colour. I’m using some brand new online exclusive products that are available to order from today – the Flowering Zinnia Suite.
I’ve die cut cardstock in some of the colours from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper: Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie.
The ‘Thinking of You” sentiment is from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. I’ve inked up one side of the embossing folder with Memento Black Ink before inserting the die into the folder with Basic White cardstock.
I’ve now got all all these spare sentiments to use on other cards!
I made a matching envelope for the card using the Flowering Zinnias DSP.
The black and white striped DSP on the side of the card is from the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper.
This side angle photo shows the lovely dimension you can get with these Flowering Zimmia dies and the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins from the Flowering Zinnia Suite add a final touch of bling.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent. I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

This is such a gorgeous card Cathy. I just love the beautiful colours that you have used to compliment your Pumpkin Pie flowers! Such a happy card. Love the envelope too!
Oh wow, such a gorgeous card Cathy. Your flowers are so bright and happy and contrast beautifully with the touches of Black and White. The dimension and layout are delightful as is the coordinating envelope. So wonderful. xxx
Love the bright, bold and happy colours of the die cut flowers, Cathy. Your layout is fantastic with the B&W DSP strip down the left side and the sentiment also in B&W. So, so pretty!
Oh my gosh Cathy what a very pretty card. So bright and happy. thanks for explaining how you created the sentiment as I am yet to give mine a go. The envelope is a fabulous idea.
Fabulous card Cathy, I love the bright colourful Zinnias and coordinating shiny sequins. The embossed sentiments are stunning.
Fabulous card Cathy, beautiful colours and layout. The pops of black and white contrast beautifully with the bright colours. Your handmade envelope is the perfect finishing touch.
What a beautiful, bright, textural card, Cath! The flowers are glorious, and I love your use of the black and white paper to tie in with the sentiment. The fabulously bright envelope is a really lovely finishing touch to your project. I’m rather in love with Pumpkin Pie, after maligning it for years!
