AWHT Colour Creations #26 Melon Mambo
Melon Mambo with Blessings of Home
I started by stamping the large floral image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' ink on to Basic White card-stock. It was coloured with Stampin' Blends, ie Melon Mambo, Light Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Soft Succulent Combos plus my trusty Colour Lifter. The colour lifter was used quite a bit to soften Melon Mambo into white and add highlights.
Two of the coloured floral images were cut with the coordinating die from the Flowers of Home dies and extra coloured individual flowers were fussy cut. Little sprig dies and the longer die from the same set were used to cut some rose gold paper from the Gold and Rose Gold Metallic Speciality Paper. The rose gold paper had been coloured with the Dark Melon Mambo Blend before die cutting. Two thin strips were also trimmed off to use in the mounting process.
There is more Melon Mambo creativity. To continue with the blog hop, click on the "next" graphic below to be taken to the blog of a very talented lady, Tina Gillespie. As always, I am looking forward to checking out Tina's amazing creation and everyone else's. I do love seeing everyones' projects - so many ideas and such great creations
Hope to see you next week when we will be featuring Merry Merlot; and don't forget that the AWH Heart of Christmas Blog Hop is going live next Monday evening at 8pm AEST for the final blog hop for 2021.

AWH Heart of Christmas #21
Christmas with Festive Foliage
The embossed and coloured panel was cut into strips of random widths varying between 0.5cm and 2cm. All the strips were then adhered to a piece of window sheet in order to maintain the design but with small gaps in between. This card front was mounted on a slightly larger piece of Evening Evergreen card-stock with Dimensionals. A piece of Gold Shimmer Ribbon was wrapped around the card front; which in turn was added to a Thick Basic White card-stock base. Another piece of the ribbon was cut in half length-wise and the two halves were tied in a bow that was added to the card with Glue Dots.

AWHT Colour Creations #25 Mango Melody
Mango Melody with Sending Hugs and Tidings & Trimmings
CARD 1:
The main Sending Hugs stamp, was stamped in Versamark ink on Shimmery White card-stock and heat embossed with Gold Emboss powder and a Heat Gun. The image was water-coloured using the fine Water Painter with Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party Classic Stampin' ink for the background. Once dry, the image was fussy cut. A small section of the Shimmery White card-stock was water coloured in an ombre effect from Cherry Cobbler, Mango Melody and Mossy Meadow inks. The HUGS letters were cut from this section with some Foam Adhesive Sheet attached.
The water-coloured panel was adhered to the card front. Some Vellum card-stock was cut with the large die and adhered over the water-coloured panel. The letters spelling HUGS were added and the word "Christmas" from the Words of Cheer stamp set was White heat embossed on a small piece of Mango Melody card-stock. A bow with Gold Shimmer Ribbon was tucked under the edge of the coloured panel with a couple of Glue Dots and some Mango Melody sequins (from the Artistry Blooms sequins) added some shimmer.
Basic White card-stock was stamped in Mango Melody Classic ink with another greeting from the Words of Cheer stamp set and some leaves from the main Sending Hugs stamp were added to the RHS edge. Similarly a Basic White C6 envelope was stamped with the leafy edge of the large stamp in Mango Melody ink.
