Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Hello Card

Today, we have week 19 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, gorgeous grape. 


I had trouble choosing my trio of colours from the swatch this week so I made two cards. I went with the top two sets of colours. Gorgeous grape, pool party, garden green for one card and gorgeous grape, early espresso, granny apple green for the second card. Both cards are practically the same except for the colour choices.
I have used the artistically inked stamp set and artistic dies and made two hello cards. I added in some copper foil from the brushed metallic foil from the July - December mini catalogue and some champagne rhinestone basic jewels. 


With decorated envelope - I used the large watercolour image randomly over the envelope flap

Oh, these are wonderful! Surprisingly to me, because I'm a blue girl through and through, I actually like the Early Espresso version best! The are both gorgeous though.

[Catherine Proctor]

Ros it's great to see the same design look so different depending on the colour combination used. If I had to pick a colour combination I would probably chose the Pool Party/Garden Green card, but they both look fantastic!

[Rachel Woollard]

I love the colour combinations you’ve used Ros, especially the Early Espresso background

[Andrea Sargent]

Wow Ros, I love your two cards. I also love the way you have used the same card design and just changed the colours. Both cards are beautiful. I love the harmony between Garden Green and Pool Party, and I also love the vibrancy brought by the Granny Apple Green in the other combination.

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

Great cards, Ros! I think I prefer the drama provided by the addition of Early Espresso ... but, having said that, Pool Party looks really pretty with Gorgeous Grape. Lovely job on them both.

[Kate Morgan]

Both lovely cards, but I think the Pool Party background makes those glorious purple flowers really pop!

[Caroline Manwaring]

Two beautiful cards Ros. My favourite is Pool Party/Garden Green.

[Rosa Leyden]

Wow such stunning cards Ros. I especially love the Pool Part and Garden Green combo. The flowers and leaves have been arranged perfectly.
