Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink – Week 34 AWH Colour Creations Showcase

Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink – Week 34 AWH Colour Creations Showcase

Welcome back to our Colour Creations Showcase as we continue our showcase of over 50 beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours in alpha order.

This week we are showcasing the lightest pink in the Stampin’ Up! colour range, Petal Pink.

I’ve used products from the Fine Art Floral suite today, as well as the the Blushing Bride and Whisper White twine that comes in the Snail Mail Twine combo pack.

After showcasing Pear Pizzazz last week I realised it was a colour I have overlooked and neglected so I’ve included it in my colour palette today, along with Basic White, Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, and of course, our colour of the week, Petal Pink.

I love the two-step stamping of the flowers in the Art Gallery stamp set – there are so many different colour combinations and looks you can achieve with the two-step stamping stamps and even the single step stamps in this set give you such a wonderful water coloured effect. They really make you look like an artist!!!

Did you notice the stunning Basic White embossed card stock layer on the Crumb Cake card on the left? This is a new embossing folder called painted texture 3D embossing folder. It really does look like paint!

I used the marker technique on this card because this floral image is single step stamping. Even though the Art Gallery stamp set is photopolymer you can still colour different sections with your markers to stamp in multiple colours on the one stamp.

Under the floral image is another beautiful product from the Fine Art Floral Suite – Golden Garden Specially Acetate Sheet. The image on this acetate is gold on one side and silver on the other. I’ve used the gold side on this card – here’s a closer look at the pattern.

On the other card I’ve flipped the acetate over to the silver side and the Basic White card stock layer is embossed using the Tin Tile embossing folder which matches the pattern on the acetate really well.

The large floral image is two step stamping and all of these floral images have been die cut out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery Dies.

The “Happy Birthday” sentiment and the die I’ve used to cut it out are also from the Art Gallery Bundle.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the Art With Heart team have created with Petal Pink today. Click on the links below to see what they’ve made.

We will return next year on Wednesday February 10th when we’ll be showcasing another one of the Subtles: Pool Party. We hope you can join us all then.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase: Week 25 Melon Mambo

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase: Week 25 Melon Mambo

Welcome to week twenty-five of our 2020-2021 Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase. I can’t believe we are halfway through our 2020-2021 colour creations showcase!

Each week various members of our Art With Heart Colour Creations team will be bringing you weekly colour inspiration as we showcase our range of over 50 beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 25 – Melon Mambo

Melon Mambo is a colour I love to use for two step stamping and especially for stamping off because it is such a gorgeous pink when stamped off, without any of the orange tones of the other pinks in the Stampin’ Up! colour range.

To show you just how beautiful Melon Mambo looks when stamped off I’m using a brand new stamp set with matching dies from the upcoming January – June 2020 Mini Catalogue: the Art Gallery Bundle, which consists of the Art Gallery stamp set and co-ordinating Floral Gallery Dies.

My favourite green to use with Melon Mambo is Pear Pizzaz so here’s the colour combination I’ve used for my card today.

It looks like I’ve used two different pinks on this card but I’ve actually only used Melon Mambo at full strength and stamped off once. The largest flower is two-step stamping and then I’m stamped the smaller flower twice, once at full strength and once stamped off. There is a another stamp (that I’ve used on the inside of the card) for two step stamping on this flower image as well but I wanted to show the colour of Melon Mambo stamped off very clearly.

The two stems are stamped in Pear Pizzaz, one at full strength and the other one stamped off once.

One of the things I really love about this bundle is the font and the size of the sentiments, the number of different sentiments (there are nine in total) and the two rectangular dies designed to fit all these sentiments. I’ve used “Happy Birthday” and the longer rectangle for my card today.

Inside my card I used another sentiment and roughly inked up another stamp from this set in both Pear Pizazz and Melon Mambo, stamping it off once before stamping inside my card. The final touch is the addition of Melon Mambo at full strength for the second part of the floral stamp, using the stamp that also works for the second step of the smaller flower on the front of the card.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the Art With Heart team have created with Melon Mambo today. Click on the links below to see what they’ve made.

Next Tuesday we’ll be showcasing one of the Neutrals: Merry Merlot. We hope you can join us all then.

If you’d like me to post you your very own copy of the forthcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue, the August – December 2020 Mini Catalogue, the 2020-21 Stampin Up! Annual Catalogue, the 2020-21 Beginners Brochure, or to simply find out about more about Stampin’ Up! contact me.
