ART WITH HEART COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 42: ROCOCO ROSE

 

This week's showcase is all about Rococo Rose, one of Stampin' Up!'s In Colors that will retire from our range in early May.  Cathy Proctor hosts our weekly Colour Creations Showcases.  Make sure you visit her blog to see her beautiful creation, and to find a list of participants in this week's share ... you'll be able to visit everyone's blogs by clicking on the links.

I have stuck with "simple" for my pink creations this week.  I've used the Vine Design bundle (sadly that, too, will retire at the beginning of May) to decorate some Basic White Notecards & Envelopes.  I like to have some "thank you" notecards on hand, and these are a sweet addition to my stash.

There are three intricate doily-type dies in the Vine Design bundle; they form the basis of my designs.  I cut each background shape from Rococo Rose Designer Series Paper, adhered each one to a notecard that has a top layer of Basic White card embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder (we'll lose that, too, in May), and added stamped and die-cut flowers.  The flower stamps were inked in Blushing Bride ink, and I applied Rococo Rose ink with a sponge dauber before stamping the images onto card.  The flowers on the envelopes are all stamped in Rococo Rose ink.

Here's the first notecard, with the stamped envelope underneath.  The sentiment (from Vine Design) has been cropped using an Ornate Frames die.

The ribbon on my second card is Crinkled White Seam Binding, coloured with the Light Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends marker.  If I'd known how pretty and soft the light marker is, I would have been using it more often!  We're a bit "light on" with soft pinks in our colour range, and I love how this looks.  The sentiment on this card was cut out using a Stitched Shapes Die.  These staple dies, that I use on most of my cards, will also be retiring from Stampin' Up!'s range at the beginning of May.

On my last notecard, I added a couple of extra stamped and die-cut flowers, tucking one behind the sentiment label.  The die used to cut out the sentiment on this one is from the Stitched So Sweetly collection.

Listed below are all the products I used to make these cards.  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.
