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 Poppy Parade, a very bright and happy red!
If you’ve got a “thing” for black and white paper like I do, you’re going to love, love, love this True Love DSP. It’s so very versatile because you can use it for backgrounds, colour it in different ways or fussy cut the flowers to use on your cards or scrapbook layouts.
And the back and white patterns just makes any colour pop!
The colour scheme I’ve used today is such a classic: Poppy Parade, black and white…with just a touch of another bright: Granny Apple Green.
The beautiful red flowers were coloured in with Stampin’ Blends: Poppy Parade for the petals, Granny Apple Green for the leaves, oh, and I nearly forgot the centre of the flowers…Daffodil Delight.
The detail on these flowers in the True Love Designer Series Paper make them so easy to colour and shade – just follow the lines!
The sentiment is from the matching stamp set: “Forever & Always”. After stamping the “Love” stamp I fussy cut it out only to remember I actually own the co-ordinating “Always” dies!!! Duh!!!!
Instead of adding a swirl of the Forever Greenery gold trim behind the “you so very much sentiment” I die cut it using the long rectangle die from the Field Tiles Dies. I then used a needle to thread the gold trim through the holes and then tie a bow, which is secured with a gilded gem.
I really like this effect and must remember to use it again.

Your colouring of the flower DSP is spectacular!
A gorgeous card Cathy and your colouring is just stunning. Te addition of the gold thread to the sentiment frame is beautiful
It looks so bright and cheerful!
A stunning card Cathy. So love the bright Poppy Parade flowers against the geometric black and white DSP. The gold twine around the label adds a lovely touch. xxx
Catherine, your card is gorgeous! A classic combination of red, black and white. Stitching the gold thread through the stitched rectangle is so clever and I love how it looks – might try this myself. I laughed at Kathryn’s comment – “You had time for sewing!” Lol.
What a gorgeous card, Cath. I adore that you have stitched that thread around the sentiment and those brightly coloured blooms are stunning against the the B&W background. You make me laugh with your fussy cutting when there was a die to use LOL
You had time for sewing??? LOL
Well done! Looks lovely – and great minds think alike xx
OMG, you must have amazing eyes – there’s no way I could have sewn that! it looks fantastic though, well worth the effort. Gorgeous card.
A beautiful, bold, creation, Cathy – love it! I, too, love colouring parts of the True Love DSP. The gold thread treatment to the sentiment panel is simply gorgeous.
Beaut Card Catherine, almost a snap again. I love the gold thread around the greeting
That is gorgeous Catherine!
