AWHT Colour Creations # 35 Petal Pink

Petal Pink with Blessings of Home

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are continuing to work though all the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. Having started mid 2021 we are currently continuing to work through "P". 

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a pale orangey pink called Petal Pink. Petal Pink is part of the Subtles Colour Family and is a gorgeous pink. It is one of my favourite SU colours. This colour is delightful with Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake; great with Polished Pink or Very Vanilla and Gold, to name a few colour combos. 

Petal Pink is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Stampin' Blends and the Subtles Designer Series Papers as well as Pansy Petals, In Good Taste, You're A Peach, Sweet Talk, Flowering Fields, Sunshine & Rainbows & Party Pattern Designer Series Papers and No Matter the Weather & Kerchief All-inclusive Kits. Petal Pink embellishments include 1/8" Cotton Ribbon (as part of the Combo Pack), Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon, and Elegant Faceted Gems.  The card below has used Petal Pink Classic Stampin' ink, Cardstock, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Write Marker, Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon and Elegant Faceted Gems plus a range of other non-PP bits and pieces.

Here is the card created to showcase Petal Pink:

The design was inspired by my recollection of a Christmas card that had been created by Stesha Bloodhart - it was a cut away gate-fold. Of course it uses different dies, colours, stamps, etc, etc.

CARD 1:

Thick Basic White card-stock was scored and folded into a gate-fold card base. The two front sections were die cut on the middle edges using one of the Basic Borders dies. Both card fronts were stamped with the larger floral stamp from the Blessings of Home stamp set using Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' ink. The floral stamp was also stamped on an extra piece of Basic White card-stock.

The extra floral image was coloured with a selection of Stampin' Blends, including Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake combos plus the Color Lifter, a touch of Light Soft Sea Foam with Crumb Cake on the leaves and Light Pale Papaya with Crumb Cake on the flower centres. The coordinating Flowers of Home dies includes a die that cuts out this arrangement of flowers.

As part of the card inner is seen due to the shaping of the gate-fold, I decided to create a flap that could be lifted to reveal the personal message inside. This way my handwritten scrawled message wouldn't be accidentally seen from the front. The flap was cut from Petal Pink card-stock and folded in half with the bottom half adhered to the card inner section and the top half folded forward.  A piece of Basic White card-stock that had been embossed with the Stitched Greenery die (love this die) was adhered to the top flap. Petal Pink and Crumb Cake Stampin' Write markers were used to add some splatters.

The actual card inner had a piece of Basic White card-stock added that had been partially stamped with the large floral stamp in Crumb Cake. An extra thin strip of Petal Pink card-stock was added near the bottom.

A belly band was created using Petal Pink card-stock to hold the gate-fold closed. A mid-sized scalloped rectangle was cut using the Scalloped Contours dies from Basic White card-stock. This was used to visually ground the floral arrangement. A piece of Petal Pink Organdy Striped ribbon was tied around the belly band and the coloured floral arrangement was added with Dimensionals. The scalloped rectangle was also splattered with Petal Pink and Crumb Cake.

To create a finer bow, the ends of the Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon were each cut into 3 strips. These ends were tied into a bow and a piece of White Bakers twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack was tied around the knot of the ribbon bow into a twine bow. I fiddled with the addition of a sentiment and wasn't happy with my attempts. Then I found a sentiment sitting on my table that was already stamped in Crumb Cake. I fussy cut it out - this one worked with the design. (The sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration Special Moments stamp set - thank you Cathy.) The final touch was the addition of 3 Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems. They are so pretty.

A C6 Basic White Envelope was stamped in Crumb Cake ink with the same floral image as stamped on the card front. One can't have a naked envelope.

Thank you so much for dropping by. I so appreciate it.
