Art with Heart Team #ColourCreations39 - Real Red

 

It's been 12 month since I have participated in the Art with Heart Team #ColourCreationsBlogHop, wow oh wow this year is flying by.  This week we are featuring the colour Real Red.

Welcome to the hop or you may have come from my good friend in Melbourne, Rachel Palmieri.

I received a request this last week to create a card for the organist at my church who was being recognised for playing for 25 years.  This gave me the opportunity to make a piano card which I have looked at for many years.

The most complicated part to the card was drawing the freehand outline of the curve of the piano but it was so very easy, I then cut this out.  With a strip of Basic White, I draw some lines down to create some keys and then I added some thin strips of Basic Basic on dimensionals to create the upper keys on the piano.  Finally I added the sentiment and ribbon and it was finished.

Stamp Set:  Flowing Flowers

Cardstock:  Basic Black, Basic White

Ink:  Real Red

Accessories:  Real Red 3/8" Double Stitched Satin Ribbon

I hosted my last card class for the year last Saturday and we made this card, it's part of the story of Jesus birth with the 3 Wise Men.  I have chosen natural tones and after stamping the 3 Wise Men in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla I got my water painter and blended the colour to create a coloured in effect.

Heart of Christmas - Snowflake Wishes

This is the first time I have got organised this year to participate in the Heart of Christmas and you guessed it - it's the last one!  I have been Christmas inspired this weekend as the Christmas pageant happened in Adelaide on Saturday evening and I put up my Christmas tree on Sunday afternoon with the help of fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator Andrea Sargent.

I am featuring the Snowflake Wishes Bundle in Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  I have used the embossed resist technique, with white emboss powder with a light sponge daubing in Coastal Cabana and used the splatter stamp from Forever Form over the top.

I have layered the sentiment on a couple of different shape labels and place then in the centre over some thick bakers twine, finally finishing with die cut ofthe three matching Snowflakes and a scattering of gems.

Stamp Set:  Snowflake Wishes, Positive Thoughts, Forever Fern

Cardstock:  Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White

Ink:  Bermuda Bay

Accessories:  So Many Snowflakes Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Elegant Faceted Gems, White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Mint Macaron Thick Twine (retired)
