Colour Combo Blog Hop February 2020

Welcome to Colour Combo Blog Hop, Shaz here - You may have joined me from Melinda's Blog. It's been quite some time since I last joined in with Colour Combo Blog Hop
So I was looking for a challenge and that is exactly what I got...
As much as I love to Scrapbook, I started making a layout BUT it looked SHIT!!!
So it is sitting in a pile of scrapbooking layouts that need to be finished.

So I decided I better do a card for this challenge...

I used the Heart to Heart Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue..
Kept it pretty simple...

Stamp and Hop Blog Hop February 2020 Colouring

Welcome to Stamp 'N Hop - February Colouring Blog Hop....
You may have arrived from Sandra's Blog or you are starting with me.
The brief was use any Stamp set/Bundle with any colouring technique...

So I chose this Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper (DSP) as my colour palette.

Isn't it just Beautiful <3

 

AND I used the co-ordinating Timeless Tropical Bundle.
I am in LOVE with this suite!!!

Watercoloured Background is my choice, with white heat embossed images
over the background.  Products used the Watercolour Paper,
Stampin' Refills and Stampin' Spritzer to 
create the backgrounds for my hibiscus and frangipani.   
I used the following colours - Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, 
So Saffron and Real Red Stampin Refills.

To recreate my background for my flowers I firstly stamped each individual floral
image onto the Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper with Versamark and then added the White Embossing Powder and used my Heat gun to heat set it...Did this all over my paper.
Using this technique it allows the ink to pool around the heat set image.
Once all the images were on my background I randomly added watered down spots
of ink all over the paper and wet it with a spritzer and watched the magic happen.
Use your heat gun to dry this off and then Die cut your floral images... 
Here is the end result, pretty hey.  So much variation in colour.

 

The leaf background was watercoloured too,  except I didn't heat emboss I just inked up the stamp with a couple of the colours and then spritzed it very lightly and stamped it on the background.  The leaf background was created using Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron, Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party.

Here is what it looked like at the end, then I just die cut the leaves

Once all my images were cut out I decided that I needed some texture on my background
piece of DSP so I ran the Brown hessian kinda DSP through the Coastal Weave 3D  Embossing Folder which gave it this beautiful texture!!! 

I had to then add some more of the DSP to the card base.
So I chose some of the green foliage DSP...Sooo Beautiful.
I added some of the green as well from the DSP too!! 
The green background Dies are from the Tropical Dies

I hope you LOVE my project, I hope you do too!!!
If you LOVE all these products that I have used you can buy the Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle with everything from the Suite in it!!!

Have a GREAT day Cheers Shaz

We Create Blogger Have A Heart Blog Hop

Welcome to We Create Blog Hop, This month the theme is Have a Heart
It has been a while since I have joined these lovely ladies
for a Blog Hop with this group...BUT when it is a Theme like this I had to join in...

February is the month of LOVE...AND it is my Birthday month!!!
I am sure you will find plenty of inspiration with the 9 of us using a variety of products.

I decided I was going to use Heart to Heart Stamp Set and Dies...
BUT unfortunately I really didn't use many of the stamps...
I used several of the words to help me create my layout.
The Detailed Hearts Die is just BEAUTIFUL!

Look at what you can do with this die, I did something similar.

This layout is what you call VERY SIMPLE, I felt like the Die did all the work for me.
I ran the Detailed Heart Die through the die cutting machine a few time to get some
extra hearts so that I could fill in the open heart spaces..
BUT I decided I would scatter them on the layout, 
instead only using a couple with the die itself.

I used the Story Label shape stamp and then used the Story Label punch to punch it out.
I love it when we can use our punches too, Love the border around the shape.

I used the absolutely gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper for my layout.
I chose to use the back sides of the the very busy tropical themed papers for these
Wedding photos of my Brother and his Beautiful Forever Girl.

I am pretty sure that I covered the theme perfectly, this layout has a LOT of Hearts.
EXCEPT I didn't use a single floral stamp from this set...
I will challenge myself to use them one day soon I promise.

Up next is Tanya Harvey who will have something rather AMAZING like always <3
