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 31 – Lost Lagoon

This week, I have a sneak peek of some new Designer Series Paper to be released in the new January-April Mini Catalogue. I am also featuring product from the Online Exclusives, the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. I love this furry bear with his big red pot of golden honey, it just makes me smile and I had a ball colouring it in. But more about that later.

I realise Lost Lagoon isn’t one of the colours in the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, but I felt it was a great grounding colour.  I embossed a strip and glued it to the left side and two different patterns of the DSP to the right. The Sweet Sorbet Ribbon & bow was added along with some Adhesive-backed Hearts. The sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set, was stamped and cut with Paper Snips and added on dimensionals.

The bear is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and coloured using Blends Combo Markers; Gray Granite (D), Crumb Cake (L, D), Daffodil Delight (L, D), Real Red (L, D).  Then using my 35 year old Derwent Pencils, I added the texture of the fur & surrounds. Alisa Tilsner has a paid class on how to do this, but I definitely need a lot more practise.  I die cut it using the Stylish Shapes die.

The front and back panels of the card are our standard A5 size. The card is suspended on the centre mechanism that is scored 3 times to have 4 panels. The Scalloped Contour dies were used to cut the 3 white scalloped panels, the white tag and the scallop border where the white tag fits into.  Some more of the DSP is added to the panels and the 3 jars are cut directly from the patterned paper.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Melon Mambo.
