Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.
Week 28 – Melon Mambo
The excitement is really growing now, as I am heading to Sydney on Friday to see all my SU friends at our OnStage event for demonstrators. This is the first time for 3 years (thanks Covid) that we will be able to be there in person, yippee. There’s nothing like getting together in a huge room with 500 fellow crafters – can you imagine the hype?!!!
Anyway, more about that next week, but for now we need to focus our minds on Melon Mambo.
The Sending Smiles Bundle is a beauty. The flowers are stamped with the aid of the Stamparatus, in Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry inks. The leaves are Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. Using a Sponge Dauber to add the Rich Razzleberry ink to the edges of the flowers as the final step, gives it a lovely tone. The same was done with the leaves and the Evening Evergreen ink.
The white stamped layer is die cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies. This is adhered to a Gold Brushed Metallic Stitched Rectangle die and this glued onto a Melon Mambo layer on the dramatic, Basic Black card base.
The ‘thanks’ is die cut in Basic Black card and Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock. Before die cutting the Gold, I remembered to add Adhesive Sheet so it can be adhered like a sticker to the black layer. This is glued to the card. Some Glossy Dots Assortment were added at the end.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next week for inspiration using Merry Merlot.

Kate that sentiment really stands out beautifully. The combo of gold and black goes very well with Melon Mambo. The addition of Rich Razzleberry to the flower edges adds a lovely depth.

Your coloured flowers are wonderful – the various shades add a lovely effect. The pop of black is fabulous.

Your vibrant colours look amazing against the gold and the black layers of your card, Kate. I really love the way you’ve sponged the edge of your flowers too – what a delightful card.

Ooh, I do like the dramatic black card base, Kate! It offsets the bright colours beautifully. LOVE how you added colour with sponge daubers to the stamped images; really pretty.
