Welcome to week four of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop! We are showcasing each of the 5 new In Colours for the first 5 weeks before we then feature our core colours in alphabetical order for the rest of the year.
Our fourth new In Colour is Sweet Sorbet, a vibrant red that sits neatly between Real Red and Poppy Parade. Here’s what Sweet Sorbet looks like in comparison to the other current Stampin’ Up! reds and pinks.
I decided to use the Eclectic Garden stamp set for my card because the flower stamp reminds me of a Waratah, the native flower of my home state of New South Wales, Australia.
Waratahs are a vibrant red, the ideal flower to be coloured in with Sweet Sorbet.
In the end I decided to create a slimline card also using two of the other images from Eclectic Garden because they are all so cute. After all, radishes can be red and the berries could be lingonberries!
The splatters are stamped with another stamp included in the Eclectic Garden stamp set, as is the cute “Thanks So Much” curved sentiment. The embossing folder is the the 3D Hive Embossing folder.
I used my light and dark Mossy Meadow and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends to colour the images in and the 2 largest circles from the new Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the images out.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Woollard – I can’t wait to see what has made this week!

I love the texture and the red against the neutrals on your card. It’s not my favourite stamp set but you made look great with what you did.
Oh I do like your slim line card Cathy and the colouring is just beautiful. The addition of the Hive background is perfect for this card. Love it!
Nice texture on your card Cathy, I’m not sure about the ‘Waratah’ but let’s go with that! White on Crumb Cake is so nice.
Wow Cathy!!! Great design. The neutral card and white layer of texture work perfectly with the pops of red (Sweet Sorbet). A fabulous card.
Lingonberries, I have never heard of them and had to Google it! I too love the waratah and how good does it look in Sweet Sorbet?! Great use of space creating a slimline card to feature the other 2 images as well with beautiful colouring.
Wow Cathy, I never really liked that stamp set, but you have shown it in a beautiful way. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your card is fabulous! I love the pops of colour, in both the colours images and the circle behind the central image. Crumb Cake is definitely popular with Sweet Sorbet tonight!
Beautiful card Cathy, great layout and I love your Waratah.
Stylish card Cathy and I did not pick the floral image as a Waratah but it certainly looks the part especially coloured using Sweet Sorbet blends – perfect choice! Your coloured leaves look fantastic and love the splatters too.
I love this style and design of card, simple with a pop of colour and a little bit of layer. Gorgeous!
Great design, Cathy … the crisp white background (and that beautiful embossed texture) makes the coloured images really stand out, and shows off Sweet Sorbet beautifully. I had been able to see only an artichoke in that stamp – but I love it as a waratah! Nice work!
