Welcome to week fifty of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop, the last one for the year before we start again next Wednesday night with our 2024-25 blog hop!

Tahitian Tide, one of the 2022-24 InColors is retiring on 31st April. I’ve paired it with Pumpkin Pie and used the adorable Birds Eye View stamp set (thankfully, this set is carrying over) to make two cards for this week.

As the Birds Eye View stamp set does not have any sentiments I’ve used sentiments from the Happy Labels stamp set. This stamp set is retiring on 31st April and it is massively reduced from $42 to $16.80 – well worth snapping up at this price!

I didn’t have any Tahitian Tide DSP left so I used my Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends to colour black and white patterns from both the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

Card one features the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper coloured with the dark Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blend and the spotted Pumpkin Pie design from the Brights Designer Series Paper.

The bird was coloured in using light and dark Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I love these three colours together!

For both cards, the embossing folders used on the top layer of Basic White Cardstock are from the Basics embossing folders, an online only exclusive that has three different folders.

And the fronds behind the bird are die cut using the Textured Floral dies.

For card two I’ve coloured the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper using my light Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blend and used another design from the Pumpkin Pie DSP in the Brights Designer Series Paper collection.

This bird was also coloured in using light and dark Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends.

This bird is sitting on a frond from the Textured Floral dies.

Balmy Blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Pumpkin Pie Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and a simple bow of linen thread complete each card.

Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain – I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week!
