AWHT Colour Creations #24 Magenta Madness

Magenta Madness with Expressions in Ink & Brilliant Wings

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart 2021-2022 Colour Creations Blog Hop.

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a delightful bright pink called Magenta Madness. Magenta Madness is part of the In Colours for 2020-2022 and is a lovely colour for flowers. It is also a joyful colour and one I have fun working with.

Magenta Madness is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Stampin' Blends; the 2020-2022 In Colours & Expressions of Ink Designer Series Papers; Rainbow Glimmer Paper. The card below have used Magenta Madness Classic Stampin' ink, Card-stock, Stampin' Blends and the Expressions in Ink Speciality Designer Series Paper plus a range of other bits and pieces.

Here is my card heroing Magenta Madness:

I so love the Expressions in Ink Speciality Designer Series Paper - in fact I have loved it so much that until recently I haven't been able to cut it up. Magenta Madness is one of the colours in this delightful paper so in designing for this blog hop it was a great opportunity to share my love of it with you. The SDSP sheet used for the card front combines Magenta Madness with Polished Pink and Gold.

This delightful paper is part of the Expressions in Ink suite of products. The only stamping on the card is the sentiment which comes from the Artistically Inked stamp set. The focal die cut motif was cut using the Artistic Dies. 

The card is a Fancy Fold - its frustrating but I can't remember what its called. It folds at one side and on the other side both edges fold back on themselves. The card is held closed with a belly band. The belly band was created with a strip of Basic White card-stock that is folded to the front and the ends crossed one over the other and adhered together. 

A piece of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon was coloured with a Light Magenta Madness Blend and then tied around the belly band with a bow tied to the right. A die cut Basic White  card-stock circle, cut using the Layering Circles dies was adhered over the belly band join. A die cut detailed floral spray was cut using the large Artistic dies from Gold Metallic Speciality Paper and some In Color Jewels were added for further shimmer. A couple of tiny butterflies were added to the card front. They had been cut using the Brilliant Wings dies from Gold Metallic Speciality Paper.

Two designs from the SDSP were used on this card, one on the two main front panels and the second inside the card. The SDSP was adhered directly to a Basic White card base on the main front panels. Where Basic White card-stock was used inside the card it was layered on Magenta Madness card-stock leaving a thin boarder. 

The middle left panel is for the personal message. The centre right white panel was embossed with the Painted Textile 3D embossing folder, layered on a panel of Magenta Madness and then a strip of SDSP was adhered toto the left of the panel. Butterflies were cut using the Brilliant Wings dies from the SDSP and then detailed dies from the same set cut butterflies from the Gold Metallic Speciality paper. I think the detailed butterflies would have been sufficient without the back SDSP butterflies, but I did want to continue the SDSP through. 

Here is a photo of the other side of the card when it is fully open.

The SDSP was added to the envelope flap of a C6 Basic White envelope with the SDSP being carried over to the envelope front (as can be seen in one of the photos above).

I loved creating with this gorgeous SDSP and showcasing Magenta Madness at the same time. As I needed to work today, time was limited to provide a fuller description of the process. Do make contact if you have any queries.

Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase - #23 Magenta Madness

Magenta Madness with Forever Lovely

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the 23rd 2020 Colour Creations Showcase by members of the Art with Heart Team.

This week we are focussing on a gorgeous pink called Magenta Madness. Is it a bright and happy hot pink. Magenta Madness is one of the 2020-2022 In Colours and it can be found in Stampin' Up!s card-stock; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads, re-inkers & Stampin' Spots); Stampin' Write Markers; Stampin' Blends; a range of Designer Series Papers, packs, the Rainbow Shimmer Paper and embellishments, incl the In Colour ribbon and Enamel Dots. There is so much delightful product.

Apart from wanting to hero Magenta Madness in this week's project, I was also inspired by beautiful Apple Blossoms that I saw locally while walking my dog, Gemma. 

I was so surprised when I went to create my project to find that my Magenta Madness Classic Stampin' ink pad had not been opened as it is a delightful colour. Having said that I tend to work more with softer colours. I have used other Magenta Madness products. Here is my card: 

I started by creating the blended sponged background on Shimmery White card-stock using Blackberry Bliss, Magenta Madness and Mango Melody Classic Stampin' ink. I actually first tried a different colour combination but wasn't fully satisfied, so chose this colour combo that was inspired by the Rainbow Shimmer paper. The Blackberry Bliss section isn't showing very much, but it is under the blossom spray. The blended piece was sprinkled with a little water to add some texture.

I tossed up as to whether I would use Magenta Madness or Blackberry Bliss card-stock for the card front but decided to go with the deeper colour and highlight the brighter sponged centre. An oval was cut in the Blackberry Bliss card front using the Layered Oval dies and then it was dry de-bossed using the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. The blended piece was adhered directly to the Magenta Madness card base and the Blackberry Bliss card front was popped up on Dimensionals.

The large blossom spray from the Forever Blossoms stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed using Silver Stamping' Emboss powder onto Shimmery White card-stock. It was stamped 3 times. Choosing one as the full spray, the leaves were water-coloured with Pear Pizzaz Classic Stampin' ink and the smaller Water Painter with the finest tip. All the flowers and buds were water-coloured with Magenta Madness and a little Blushing Bride Classic Stampin' inks. 

While I could have used the coordinating Cherry Blossom dies to cut the base blossom spray, I decided to take my Snips to another room, put my feet up and fussy cut all the individual flowers and buds from two of the sprays as well as the full spray. The flowers and buds were shaped with my fingers to add extra dimension. The individual flowers were layered and directly adhered in the centre of the same flower. One added layer of buds were adhered with Mini Dimensionals. The blossoms spray was positioned in place with both Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue and Dimensionals.

Some Frost White Shimmer paint was flicked over the card to add some interest and shimmer. A sentiment from A Little Lace stamp set was also heat embossed in silver and trimmed near to the words. Two bows were tied, one with Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding and the other with a piece of over died Misty Moonlight/Silver twine from the Flowers for Every Season Combo pack. A Dark Magenta Madness Blend was used to colour the twine. Some 2020-2022 In Color Enamel dots were added as the finishing touch. I have added 5 Enamel Dots but realised one has been hidden in the photo as I usually add an odd number of embellishments.

The card inner of Whisper White card-stock was mounted with a fine border of Blackberry Bliss card-stock and the blossom spray from the Forever Blossoms set was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Silver Stampin' Emboss powder. As with the card front, a few 2020-2022 In Colour Enamel Dots were added as embellishment. A Whisper White C6 envelope was stamped with the same blossom spray, though stamped in Magenta Madness Classic Stampin' ink. 

Thank you for spending some time with me at my blog and sharing in some Magenta Madness. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries, would like me to send you a Stampin' Up! catalogue or if I can help you with any products.
