AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 29: MOSSY MEADOW

 

Tonight is the last Colour Creations Showcase for this year; we'll be back, to continue sharing creations using Stampin' Up!'s colours, in alphabetical order, on 6th January.  As always, Cathy Proctor is co-ordinating our group share, and she has a comprehensive list on her blog of all the participants.  This week we are focussing on Mossy Meadow, a lovely dark green.

Mossy Meadow is a beautiful green to use on leaves, especially with the glorious magnolia stamp from the Good Morning Magnolia set.  I have used Jet Black StazOn ink to stamp the magnolia onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Using Water Painters, and reinkers in Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Early Espresso and Crushed Curry, I watercoloured the image.  When it was dry, I flicked some water droplets onto the coloured areas.  I love the grey tones that came through on the Mossy Meadow leaves, as the ink diluted.

My card base is Thick Whisper White, the front of which has been embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.  The main background panel is one of the beautiful patterns from Dandy Garden 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, coming in the January - June Mini Catalogue (it will be available to purchase from 5th January).  I matted the paper on a piece of Mossy Meadow card, and die-cut the bottom of both the DSP and card panels, using the decorative edge die in the Magnolia Memory die pack.

The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Whisper White card.  I used one of the new Stitched With Whimsy dies (coming on 5th January) to frame the word, then cut out the piece with a Stitched Rectangle die.  I do love my stitched dies!  I coloured some pearls with my Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends marker, and added a bow made with Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim (also coming in the January - June 2021 Mini Catalogue).

I added a little more Mossy Meadow to the inside of the card.  The sentiment is white-embossed on Mossy Meadow card, and cut using a Stitched Rectangle die.  A tiny watercoloured leaf finishes it off:

AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 26: MERRY MERLOT

 

The colour we're focussing on, for this week's showcase, is Merry Merlot ... one of my least-used colours in the Stampin' Up! range.  It's not my favourite (obviously), so it was good to be stretched out of my comfort zone.  Cathy Proctor is hosting our share, as she does every week.  She has a comprehensive list on her blog of everyone sharing their Merry Merlot creations.  We'd love it if you visited all our blogs, for some inspiration.

I have kept my card fairly simple, as I wanted to show off the impression created on my main Merrry Merlot panel with the Magnolia 3D embossing folder.  

I stamped a couple of small magnolias on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, using StazOn Jet Black ink.  I also stamped a couple of extra single leaves.  Using Merry Merlot and Mossy Meadow ink (pooled in the open lid of the inkpads), I watercoloured the images and die-cut them.  The sentiment is from the new Many Messages bundle (a large, multi-sentiment, stamp and co-ordinating labels die), and was gold-embossed on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I've added a gold bow to the flower stems, using the lovely Forever Greenery Trim.

Here's a close-up of the gorgeous Magnolia embossed background, and Gilded Gems:

Listed below are all the current products I used to make this card.  The Many Messages bundle will be available in the January - June 2021 Mini Catalogue.  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.
