STAMPIN' UP! SEASONAL BRANCHES BIRTHDAY CARD IN LOST LAGOON

I have one more Lost Lagoon card to share with you, to round out the week.  Earlier in the week, I die-cut a piece of Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer Paper, using a Gorgeous Garden Die, and layered it on top of a piece of Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper.  It turned out that I didn't use this piece for my Colour Creations card, so I made something else with it, using this colour combination:

Using a Stylish Shapes Die, I cut a circle from vellum.  I coloured the back of the vellum with the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker, as I didn't want it to be stark white.  After embossing this circle with the Timber 3D embossing folder, I coloured the front of it with the Stampin' Blends marker, as it was still too light.

From Pecan Pie card, I cut two branches using Seasonal Branches Dies.  I glued one on top of the other, for a little added dimension, since each branch is so thin.  I die-cut the flowers from Bubble Bath Soft Shimmer Paper, and added an Iridescent Rhinestone to each flower centre.

The bird was stamped in Basic Gray ink on Basic White card, and coloured using Stampin' Blends markers.  I used Lost Lagoon and Pool Party for the body, and a touch of Light Pecan Pie for the beak.

To the top of the circle, I added a bow (that you can see in the photo above).  I laid together a length each of Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon, and Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, and tied a bow.  Glue Dots were used to stick it down.  In the photo above, you can also see that I added a scalloped border of Bubble Bath Soft Shimmer Paper.  I cut this using the long edge of a Scalloped Contours frame die.

The sentiment was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink on a strip of Basic White card.  I stamped the flowers in Bubble Bath ink, and sponged Bubble Bath ink around the edges of the sentiment strip.  A couple more Iridescent Rhinestones were added to this piece.

STAMPIN' UP! MERRIEST TREES CHRISTMAS CARD IN LOST LAGOON

While I was creating with Lost Lagoon for this week's Colour Creations blog hop, I made a Christmas card featuring this beautiful colour with Pretty Peacock and silver.

I used two patterned papers from the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper pack, for the background.  The watercolour-wash looking paper was embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.  I then sponged around the edges with Lost Lagoon ink, and mounted it on a slightly larger panel of Lost Lagoon card.  The watercoloured trees paper was sponged around the edges with Lost Lagoon ink, and adhered towards the bottom of the embossed paper.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on a piece of Lost Lagoon card, and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I sponged white craft ink around the edges of the tree, and added Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins.  The tree pot/skirt was cut from Pretty Peacock card, and the star on top of the tree was silver-embossed on Basic White card.

Silver & White Sheer Ribbon ties in (pardon the pun) nicely with the white and silver touches on my card.

I stamped some presents in Lost Lagoon ink, and others in Versamark ink, on Basic White card.  I heat-embossed the Versamark ones with silver embossing powder, and did the same for the bows adorning the Lost Lagoon presents.
