Welcome to the July Color Fusers Blog Hop! This month, we are using a beautiful, soft color combination, including Soft Seafoam, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posy! For more inspiration using this color combination, be sure to use the navigation buttons at the bottom of this post to continue through the whole blog hop.
This color combination was a little bit of a challenge, because the Purple Posy ink pad and ink refill are not yet available to order. (Stampin’ Up! is working on some quality issues to ensure it only provides the best products.) Therefore, I decided to focus on the cardstock and Stampin’ Blends Markers that are available!!! And, I have to say, they are beautiful!
I used the Bloom & Grow stamp set to stamp images with Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Then, I used Stampin’ Blends Markers to color the images with the three colors. Typically, it is suggested to use these alcohol based markers with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, but I thought that might be a bit harsh for this delicate color combination, so I gave Crumb Cake a try, and it worked beautifully!
Because the colors are so light, I colored over the darker sections multiple times for a good variation in tones.
The photo above also shows the gorgeous embossing that I added with the new Scripty 3-D Embossing Folder. Love it!
The Budding Blooms Dies, which coordinate with the Bloom & Grow stamp set, include dies to cut the tiny flowers from Seaside Spray Cardstock, as well as the sweet scallop edging. They are so delicate and pretty!
Then, I used the Detailed Peacock Dies to cut leaves from Soft Seafoam and Vellum Cardstock.
Final touches included some gorgeous Seaside Spray 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon and Woven Threads Sequins in the new 2019 In Colors.
I created my greeting with the Well Said stamps and Well Written Dies. I cut out three “wishes” and adhered them together with Multipurpose Glue for some added dimension.
(I apologize for the quality of my photos for this project. The soft colors were very difficult to photograph!)
