AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 24: MANGO MELODY

This week's choice of colour, for using on our papercraft projects, is Mango Melody.  I have always considered this colour to be a yellowy-orange, but now that I have put together a card with it, I think perhaps it's an orangey-yellow!  Regardless, it's a bright, happy, colour, that I enjoyed creating with.  Cathy Proctor is the co-ordinator of our weekly Colour Creations Showcases.  If you go to her blog, to see how she has used Mango Melody, you will find a comprehensive list of participants in this week's share.  We would love it if you visited all our blogs, and left some comment love, if you feel so inclined.

I have chosen a colour combination suggested by Stampin' Up!:

Using the Swirly Frames stamp set, I stamped overlapping circles, in all three colours, over a panel of Whisper White card.  I then embossed the stamped panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

Some flowers from the Arrange A Wreath bundle were stamped in Mango Melody ink on Whisper White card, die cut, then adhered to the card before having Coastal Cabana resin dots added to the centres.

Here's a close-up of the embossed background, and the sweet, colourful, flowers:

I have used a strip of Mango Melody Designer Series Paper (from the Brights 6" x 6" pack) across the middle of my card.  I sponged the edges of the paper with Mango Melody ink.  The stamped words in the sentiment come from the Well Said stamp set, and the die-cut word from the co-ordinating Well Written Dies.  I used my dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends marker to colour white ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season ribbon combo pack; isn't it pretty?  Love all that co-ordination!

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  They are available to purchase from my online store (for Australian residents only), which is open 24/7.  You can access my store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

STAMPIN' UP! ARRANGE A WREATH CHRISTMAS CARDS

I have teamed the fabulous Arrange A Wreath bundle with Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, to make a couple of crisp, clean, Christmas cards.  I love the colours in these papers, and have used them with a little variation on both cards.

On my first card, I stamped a wreath on Whisper White card, in Mossy Meadow ink.  I overlaid a die-cut wreath in Pear Pizzazz card, and poinsettias cut from Real Red card.  The sentiment is stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink.

I have used the same design on my second card, but stamped the wreath in Pear Pizzazz ink, and die-cut a wreath from Mossy Meadow card.  The sentiment on this card is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.  I kicked myself after uploading these pics, as I'd meant to dry-emboss the Whisper White panel on this card, to give a slightly different look!  Ah well, that can be a project for another Christmas card-making day.

I have listed below all the Stampin' Up! products used to make these cards.  If you would like to shop in my online store, and live in Australia, just click on any of the thumbnail images below.
