This week I, along with some of my fellow Art With Heart Stampin' Up! team members, have a Pacific Point creation to share with you. This is a blue I seldom use, so I enjoyed the challenge - and, as is usually the case, found that I like the colour more than I thought I did! Cathy Proctor co-ordinates our weekly colour shares, and has a comprehensive list on her blog of all this week's participants.
I've teamed Pacific Point with Whisper White and silver, to make a congratulations card. Adding a metallic into the mix meant photographing my card was a bit tricky, but I love how it came out. I had a lot of fun playing with the new Circle Celebration stamp set for the first time.
I stamped the smaller, sunburst-type image, several times on my background Whisper White card, using Versamark ink, and then heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder. The largest (what I think look moon-like) circles were stamped in Pacific Point ink on Whisper White card, then die-cut using Layering Circles dies. The spotty circles were punched out with a (now retired) 1 1/8" circle punch - first I stamped one in Pacific Point ink on Whisper White card, and white-embossed one on Pacific Point card. In this photo, you can see how, after stamping one of the larger mottled circles in Pacific Point ink, I silver-embossed a foliage image over the top:

You know, I hadn't even given this circle set a good look at all, but what you have done, is truly wonderful. Blue, Silver & White is a great combination.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine - just found your blog via Pinterest and I am blown away by your cards. So in love with you cards I am now a follower! - Jacqueline xx
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Christine, very inspired!
ReplyDeleteI love blue, white and silver! Your card is a delightful retro/ 80s disco mix of images - it took me straight back to my year 10 leavers dinner where the girls were wearing either royal blue or black and white polka dots (and yes, bubble skirts LOL). Love it!
ReplyDeletePacific Point certainly does grow on you Christine. It is one of the best things about the CCS.....it challenges us to try new things!!! Your card is fabulous. So different and so creative. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool card! I immediately thought of balloons and fireworks, especially with the silver starbursts.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous and pretty Christine. A lovely combination of blue, silver and white - love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, Christine I'd totally overlooked this stamp set and the embossing folder - now I want both! I love the combination of blue, white and silver. Thank you for participating in out Pacific Point showcase tonight xx
ReplyDeleteWow Christine this is a fantastic card and a stamp set that I have not taken any notice of. Well I will have to take another look now. Great combination of the Pacific Point with the silver.
ReplyDeleteI love the silver/white/pacific point colour combo. It could be used for so many different occasions. You card looks fabulous also.
