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 Soft Sea Foam, the palest green in the Stampin’ Up! colour range.
I’d love to claim credit for the idea for my card today, but sadly I’m not that clever! One of the incredible Artisan Design team members, Martin Stone, originally came up with this super creative use of the grid pattern paper from Handsomely Suited DSP. As soon as I saw his card I knew I just had to make one too.
The design is inspired by needlepoint charts and I based my design on a Cath Kidston needpoint chart.
My colour scheme pairs Soft Sea Foam with Mint Macaron (I love these two greens together), Flirty Flamingo and Real Red.
I used blends to colour my grid paper but markers or watercolour pencils would also work well. The advantage of using blends is that you get a light and dark blend for each colour.
The “you’ve been on my mind sentiment” is from the Simply Succulents Stamp Set, die cut using a stitched rectangle die.
A soft bow using the Blushing Bride bakers twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack completes the card.
I can’t wait to see what everyone else has created with Soft Sea Foam today!

Wow, that is so clever! Cathy, thank you for sharing this great idea with us all. Your colour combo is so pretty and the black matting makes everything pop! I love the pink twine bow.
A very clever card, Cathy and that would have taken a bit of figuring out which squares to colour! Looks amazing and reminds me of my cross stitch days when I designed my own designs.
Very clever, Cathy. I love the colours you’ve used with Soft Sea Foam; a beautiful combination. The black mat behind the grid panel is striking, too.
ooh, what a great idea! The bloom looks amazing in the pixelated style, and the colour combo is perfection.
Wow what a card Cathy! I haven’t seen this technique before and love the colours you have used.
Gorgeous card Cathy! So different, great idea
