Welcome to week thirty-eight of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Parakeet Party, an 2023–2025 In Color. This vibrant green sits somewhere between Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist and really adds a pop when placed against neutrals, such as this Pebbled Path DSP from the FREE (with an order over $90) Sale-a-bration Softly Stippled DSP.
Parakeet Party also looks great with other greens, so I’ve paired it with Old Olive, Garden Green and Pebbled Path for my “birthday wishes” card.
The Planted Paradise card is a reversible stamp set that all demonstrators received for free at the last OnStage conference. This stamp set is especially great for masculine cards!
To create the plant stand for the Pebbled Path pot I’ve used the easel die from the Crafting With You dies. Line up the die at the edge of the cardstock as shown in the photo below.
This type of stamp set is so much fun to play with and create different arrangements of plant leaves in different colours and shapes. I’ve die cut the Softly Stippled DSP using the second largest Deckled Rectangle die.
The “birthday wishes” sentiment is from the Sending stamp set, white heat embossed onto a strip of Parakeet Party.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

We’ll be back showcasing Petal Pink next Wednesday, 7th February. I hope you can join us then.
Such a healthy plant you’re growing there Cathy! The stool is a perfect addition to this potted plant.
Oh wow, so creative using the easel for your pot plant stand. I love that background DSP, rI thought you had painted that yourself! This bundle is so you, and you have created a brilliant card. The sentiment white heat embossed on the Parakeet Party card is perfect.
ooh, I didn’t realise that your background was DSP – I thought that you’d been having a bit of fun with watercolouring. Your are clever to create the stool for your gorgeous pot plant. Fab card!
I love your card Cathy, great idea to use the easel from the Crafting With You stamp set, I love the final result
I love your delightfully creative card, Cath! Pebbled Path (and specifically that gorgeous DSP) looks fantastic as a backdrop to Parakeet Party. Very clever use of the easel die. I also love the sentiment white-embossed on Parakeet Party card. Great details, and use of colour.
