I am enjoying being on holidays as this morning I was able to finish off a card that I started with my card class.
Welcome to Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team "Heart of Christmas Blog Hop", tonight is my first this year, I know I should create more but life and work do get in the way. You maybe starting here, or you may have come from the Sharon Davern, who at late notice added me this week.
I attended an online facebook group of South Pacific Stampin' Up! Demonstrators a few weekends ago and the talented Donna from the Sydney office showed various textured techniques.
This one features a mask where we have layered colours of Coastal Cabana, Misty Moonlight, Granny Apple Green and then again Coastal Cabana with the blending brushes.
I have added the 2 beautiful angels from the Angels of Peace stamp set, stamped in Black Memento and then coloured with the Stampin' Up! Blends in Granny Apple Green and then fussy cut out and layered onto a circle of Basic White. Finally I added the sentiment and a few sequins.
Stamp Set: Angels of Peace, Merriest Moments
Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Basic White
Ink: Black Memento, Coastal Cabana, Misty Moonlight, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: Cut and Emboss Machine, Layering Circles, Sequins

The stencilled background is the perfect base for your angels, Kathryn! I love the colours you've used, and the scale of the design. The angels coloured in Granny Apple Green look wonderful against the background. Nice to have you playing along; enjoy your holidays! x

ReplyDeleteKathryn your stenciled background is just lovely as is the colouring of your angels
ReplyDeleteI love your colour palette Kathryn. Your card is really different but absolutely beautiful. It is funny that you have used such vivid colours but the way you have used them almost gives the card a serene quality.
ReplyDeleteOh, how beautiful is your sponging with the decorative mask?! That is the perfect shape behind your gorgeous angels and lovely soft colours.
ReplyDeleteI love the contemporary non traditional colours Kathryn. The stencilled background looks terrific and I do love the colouring in of your beautiful angels.
