Colour Creations Week 3, Secret Sea

Hi everyone, 

This week we are celebrating one of the new In Colours, Secret Sea.  I have seen it placed between Pretty Peacock and Navy. However, it looks like a very dry green blue. 

Above is my first attempt.  I wanted to soften the colour. However, my best critic, Mum, suggested starting with the colour cardstock.  So below is my example for this week. 

I used watercolour paper for the flowers, using water to draw the colour from the stamped image. I used a retired embossing folder, called Subtle and embossed the white layer.  However, it is barely seen. I also used Thankful Garden Stamp Set and fussy cut the flowers and leaves, using them individually. The 2025-2027 In Colour Flat Pearls just blended in fantastically.  Finishing it off, I used the sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies. 

I am happy with this example.  I hope that you are too. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog.
