Hello and welcome, My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today, I'll be sharing with you the third of many blog hops. It's Week 3 of Colour Creations with the Art With Heart Team in Australia. The third colour is Moody Mauve which is part of the In Color Collection for 2023 - 2025 and Stampin' Up! have created a beautiful dusky pink and I've combined it with a favourite colour palette of mine. Paper Florist Dies (161284) I just had to try out another new Stampin' Up! product from the Annual 2023 - 2024 Catalogue and I'll be showing you the Paper Florist Dies (161284) which is focused on page 33 of the catalogue. I just love the idea of creating paper flowers and with a little bling. Moody Mauve is a dark pink, but I do like to wash it out for the flower petals by making a watercolor wash onto a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Once dry I then die-cut the flowers using the Paper Florist Dies. I also used Moody Mauve, Night of Navy Cardstock and More Dazzle 6" x 6" Specialty Paper in Champagne. The background panel watercolor wash is Bubble Bath ink, water and Clear Wink of Stella. I like to mix the three together in the well of the Stampin' Pad and then add the glitter ink to the watercolor paper using Water Painter the large flat brush gives you a quicker application. Once dry I then add Moody Mauve ink, I splatter the ink using one of the Water Painters and sometimes I add water to the ink for a lighter colour. I used Night of Navy Cardstock and heat embossed using VersaMark, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and Sending Smiles Stamp Set, then die-cut the images using the coordinating Dies to create the sentiment. For some more bling I used Moody Mauve 2023-25 In Color Dots. Thank you for visiting my blog today, I would so love to hear your thoughts on my projects by leaving a comment below.
