Week 12 of our Art With Heart Colour Creations Insta hop is all about Bubble Bath, one of those beautifully soft pinks that works for almost any occasion. Delicate without being overpowering, it’s perfect for creating elegant floral cards with a subtle, feminine feel.
For my project I’ve created a monochromatic birthday card, using different shades, textures and layers to add interest while keeping the colour palette beautifully simple.
The floral arrangement was created with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle, with the flowers stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured using both the Light and Dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends. Using the two Blends adds subtle shading and depth while keeping the card beautifully monochromatic.
The leaves were stamped onto Vellum Cardstock using VersaMark Ink and white heat embossed. The translucent vellum softens the foliage, allowing it to sit behind the flowers without competing for attention, while the crisp white embossing adds an elegant finish.
The Happy Birthday greeting on the front was white heat embossed on Bubble Bath card stock before being die cut using the thin sentiment die from the Lovely Arrangement Dies.
I embossed the background using the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder, adding plenty of texture while allowing the soft Bubble Bath colour to remain the star of the show.
To break up the background, I added a strip of Beach Boardwalk 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper, layered over a slightly wider strip of Basic White cardstock. This simple layering technique helps frame the floral arrangement, introduces a subtle pattern and adds another layer of interest while keeping the overall design soft and elegant.
