AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 32: PACIFIC POINT


 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:



The Silver Foil sheet strip running vertically down the left-hand side of my card has been embossed with a Little Details embossing folder.  I've added some Pacific Point and Silver Foil stars (cut using Stitched Stars dies) to my card.  The sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set.


Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

  1. 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.

  4. I 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!
