Welcome to week 41 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is a regal colour: Pumpkin Pie.
This is a colour I rarely use or wear – so it did prove a bit of a challenge until I saw this stunning rug!
I looked at colour combinations within the regal family but decided I wanted a bluer green to go with the orange so I settled on the following colour combination: Pumpkin Pie, Real Real red (both regals) and Coastal Cabana (from the brights family).
Last week I created a background by stamping all over the powder pink cardstock with powder pink ink – such a simple and effective technique – so this week I did a similar technique, this time stamping in black a variety of floral images onto my three different coloured cardstocks.
I then die cut two rectangles in each of the three colours using my rectangle stitched framelits
I like how this technique lets the vibrant colours of the cardstock shine through, whilst also adding a subtle touch of floral elegance.
Because there are no embellishments on this card (and I was so very tempted to add a bow of linen thread!!!!!) I added dimension by mounting all of my rectangles to the card base using adhesive foam strips.
The stamp sets I used were the botanical bliss stamp set and the pressed flowers stamp set, both from the annual catalogue.

Welcome to week 40 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is a 2017-19 in colour: Powder Pink, which retires at the end of May.
I was quite amazed when I looked at the Designer Series Paper to see which ones contained Powder Pink and I discovered nearly every single range used Petal Pink instead. So I decided instead to CASE a card from the Occasions catalogue that features the “All that you are.” I based my design on the card on the left in the picture below.
What I loved about this card was the background created by stamping all over the powder pink cardstock with powder pink ink. Its such a simple and effective technique and in both my card and the one I CASED the background is softened with a layer of vellum.
The lovely deep pink that co-ordinates with the powder pink is flirty flamingo and I die cut my leaves and foliage from old olive and crumb cake card stock using the co-ordinating frosted bouquet framelits.
The sentiment is also from the “All that you are” stamp set, stamped in crumb cake and then die cut using a die from the frosted bouquet framelits.
