It's week 2 of our 2024-2025 Round of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart stamping team.

This week we have a beautiful dark pink with a leaning towards purple - a cool pink rather than a warm toned reddish pink, with the wonderful happy name of Petunia Pop.

Petunia Pop

I embraced this colour at our Stampin' Up! On Stage (convention) After Dark stamping class, making two cards on the night, and I loved the colour combination so much, I decided to use them as inspiration for this weeks project.

Here are the cards I made at On Stage in March
And here is the colour combination.

Petunia Pop

Pretty In Pink

Peach Pie

Granny Apple Green

I just love the floral images with these colours, especially the little snippets of rose bouquets stamped in Petunia Pop ink on Petunia Pop card. Here's a close up of that first card :

So when it came to creating this week's project, I chose all the same colours and I selected the Layers of Beauty bundle from page 57 of our new catalogue, because I felt I MUST have roses, and I wanted to have a play with those lovely new Decorative Masks.   
This week I made a fairly simple basic Z-fold card, with a large die cut on the front.

My layers were made using paper from the 2024-2026 In Colour 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment, which gave me Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie horizontal stripes, inspired by the card on page 57  of the catalogue with the Old Olive stripes.   
The large rose image was stamped in Petunia Pop Ink, then I used Blending Brushes to apply Petunia Pop and Granny Apple Green inks only, for all 5 layers of colour on the rose image.

The image was then die-cut and mounted on the card front with Dimensionals.

   
Finally, half a dozen of the 2024-2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems (page 114-115) were added to give a touch of bling.

Thanks for stopping by. Time to see what the other talented Art With Heart SU demonstrators have been creating. Click the image below to be taken to lovely Theresa Gerrard's blog for the next Petunia Pop project.

Should you find a broken link in the blog hop, our lovely blog hop host Cathy has all of the links on her blog post HERE.

See you next week with inky fingers!
