STAMPIN' UP! LAYERING LEAVES CARD FEATURING WILD WHEAT

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Wild Wheat, the last of the five new Stampin' Up! In Colors that we're showcasing before going on to new and returning Core Colors.  I think Wild Wheat is probably the most polarising of the new In Colors.  I love it, and have paired it with Pool Party - not a colour I would've thought of, but I think it looks fab.  My sister, whose eye for design is often quite different to mine, was visiting on a day when I was thinking about what to create with Wild Wheat.  She suggested Pool Party, so I took on the challenge!

To a Thick Very Vanilla card base, I added a Very Vanilla layer that I'd embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.

I used Wild Wheat ink to stamp the sentiment on Very Vanilla card.  This piece was cropped with a Deckled Rectangles Die, and run through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine again after moving the die, to cut the rectangle even smaller.  

I stamped the leafy sprigs on Very Vanilla card, using Wild Wheat ink.  There is a solid stamp in the Layering Leaves set, to fill in the leaves, but I opted to colour them using the Light Wild Wheat Stampin' Blends marker.  The Bough Punch was used to punch them out. 

Next to the sentiment label, I added a couple of Ombre Matte Decorative Dots (technically Coastal Cabana, but they play nicely with the Pool Party elements on my card).

The Earthen Textures bundle was, I think, the perfect choice for containing the foliage and adding some stamped interest.  I am having trouble putting this bundle down lately. 😄

The bottom third of my card front panel is covered in Wild Wheat Designer Series Paper, from the In Color pack.  I used Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon, and Wild Wheat In Color Dots, to finish off my design.

STAMPIN' UP! EARTHEN TEXTURES CARD IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

Today's card is the last one in my current Earthen Textures series, but I am sure you will see many more cards using these products on my blog in the coming year.  These stamps, dies and papers are already a firm favourite in my collection.

I am very happy that Misty Moonlight has returned to Stampin' Up!'s colour range.  I've used lots of it on my card, adding a few contrasts in Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.

How beautiful is that background paper?  It's from the Earthen Elegance DSP pack, as is the geometric patterned piece on my card front.

I die-cut the large palm leaf from Misty Moonlight card, and sponged around the edges with Misty Moonlight ink.  The gorgeous glossy dots are In Color Dots in Boho Blue.

The sentiment, from Botanical Layers, was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on Very Vanilla card.  This piece, and the Crumb Cake scalloped oval, was cut out with the Double Oval Punch.  I sponged around the edges of the Crumb Cake layer, with Crumb Cake ink.

Here's a closer look at the pots and the ribbon treatment.  Two of the pots were stamped on Misty Moonlight card, using Misty Moonlight ink (also used to sponge around the edges).  The smaller pot is topped with handles cut from another very cool patterned paper in the Earthen Elegance DSP pack.  The middle pot was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake card.

Before adhering the pots to my card, I laid some Misty Moonlight Inner Braid Ribbon (with the reverse side showing) across my card, where the two blue papers meet.  I knotted some Crumb Cake baker's twine around the ribbon, and used my Paper Snips to gently tease the threads apart.

The middle pot is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  To add the smallest pot, I used Stampin' Dimensionals just on the right-hand side ... liquid glue was used to stick it onto the brown pot.
