Shy Shamrock Capturing Smiles Hello Card
For week 47 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations we’re celebrating Shy Shamrock, a soon to be retired 2024-26 InColour.
I’ve paired “something old” (the soon to be retired Shy Shamrock cardstock, Shy Shamrock ink and the Beautiful Patterns 3D Embossing Folder) with something new (the Capturing Smiles Bundle and the Help Me Grow Bundle), both March Online Exclusives products.
The background layer is embossed with the Beautiful Patterns 3D Embossing Folder and to enhance the texture, I used a blending brush to gently add Shy Shamrock ink over the raised design.
This simple technique really brings the pattern to life, highlighting all those gorgeous details without needing extra layers.
For the focal point, I stamped, heat embossed in silver and die cut several layers of black cardstock to create the cutest vintage camera, using the Capturing Smiles Bundle, heat embossing it on Basic Black cardstock.
The delicate flowers from the Help Me Grow Bundle are die cut in Pretty in Pink cardstock and I’ve added some Pretty in Pink ink with a blending brush.
This fresh green of the Shy Shamrock background layer and die cut leaves contrasts well with the softness of the Pretty in Pink flowers and the Basic Black camera with Silver embossing , all layered against an embossed layer of Basic White.
As the sentiments in the Capturing Smiles bundle are more suited to scrapbooking, I finished the card with a simple “hello” sentiment from the Help Me Grow bundle.
I also added a few Pretty in Pink embellishments from the soon to be retired Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems.
