STAMPIN' UP! ART GALLERY NOTE CARDS IN MAGENTA MADNESS

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Magenta Madness, a bold pink that is one of Stampin' Up!'s 2020-2022 In Colors.

I seldom use this pink, but think it is absolutely beautiful for flowers.  I like to have "thank you" note cards on hand, so have made a set of four, featuring Magenta Madness, using Stampin' Up!'s Note Cards & Envelopes.  I have used the Art Gallery stamp set, and co-ordinating Floral Gallery Dies on each card, and have used a strip of each pattern of Magenta Madness paper from the 2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack.  Each card has a different embossed panel, and different ribbon, and I have used black accents.  The foliage is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink, and each flower head is stamped in Magenta Madness - the solid base layer in "stamped off" ink, and the detailed petal layer in full-strength ink.  On each card I have used 2020-2022 In Color Square Gems.


On this card I used a Greenery embossing folder, and white seam binding ribbon, coloured with my Dark Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends marker:



The background of my second card was embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder, and I used Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon for the bow.  Forgive the feathery edges on my white panel - I didn't realise I need to put a new blade in my trimmer, until I saw these photos!



My third card has a background created with a Checks & Dots embossing folder, and an added knot of Black & White Gingham Ribbon.



Finally, a background embossed with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder, and ribbon treatment courtesy of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon coloured with the Dark Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends marker.



For each card, I stamped an envelope - two with the larger bloom, and two with the clusters of smaller flowers:



I really enjoyed playing with this colour that I don't gravitate towards.  You will find lots of inspiration on tonight's blog hop!  Next up is Vicki Boucher.  If you click on the button below, you'll be taken to her blog:

  2. Oh my goodness, what a glorious array of floral cards, Christine. They are all beautiful, but I think the last one is my favourite, maybe it's the glittery organdy ribbon with extra sparkles!

  3. Such a beautiful set of notecards yet all different in their own way. I think I like the first one best but then I look again and change my mind. What a great idea to colour the organdy ribbon.
