Patchwork Pieces for Zoo Crew

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.

Week 11 – Basic Gray

Basic Gray is a bit like the weather in Melbourne lately; cold, wet and overcast, so I have paired it up with the very pretty, Lemon Lolly.

I used the Patchwork Pieces die and cut it out in Lemon Lolly card and again in a piece of the Basic Gray 2023-24 Neutrals Designer Series Paper. Because of this, I was able to create 2 cards!

I wanted to add an extra feature, so I fussy cut some images from the Zoo Crew DSP.  By adding a Basic Gray circle, it helped the image to really pop. Isn’t this little racoon with a handful of balloons so cute?!!

On the next card, I had this cute little ballerina image but I wanted to have her dancing across the card. This is a stepped up version with small magnets behind the die cut circle and the popped up layer.

Adding a strip of Lemon Lolly card to use as a pull tab, you can watch her dance across the card. The arrow impression is from the Give it a Whirl dies, as are the stitched hearts.

On the inside of both these cards, I added the happy birthday sentiment from the Wanted to Say dies, a strip of Basic Gray card and another little stitched heart.

Here they are side by side.

I really love these two colours together. What do you think of this colour combination? Let me know in the comments below.
