The colour choices this quarter are rich and regal. It includes 2 of my fave colours also Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape 😍

You must use all 3 of these gorgeous colours for this challenge, plus you can add to your mix any of Basics colours (White, Black or Very Vanilla) and any of the Metallics.

I have chosen to use a suite I have seriously fallen in L💗VE with called 'Country Lane'.
The 'Country Lane' suite and loads of other stunning suites are part of the upcoming Holiday Catalogue that will be available from the 5th of September 2018.

Here is my project for the #CI40 challenge

Happy

I just love that cream can, flowers and that Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder really creates a WOW background. And don't get me started on how much I am loving the Shimmer Paints! I will be hear all day waxing lyrical about how great it it lol

It's probably a little hard to tell, but I have used Shimmer Paint over the Cream Can to highlight the lighter areas. It really shines IRL just like a real metal Cream Can.

ESAD Colour Your Season blog hop

Hello and welcome to another wonderful ESAD hop.

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver- KOCreations Cards. You have most likely arrived from this clever ladies blog - Jackie Noble of Creative Jax.

If you have just started the hop here, don't stress 😉 I have a button further down for you to continue moving through to the next lovely designer in the hop.

Today we are focusing our creative abilities on the Limited Edition items
Colour Your Season.
This includes the Blended Seasons Stamp set, the Stitched Season Framelits and some new Watercolor Pencils in a range of different colours.

I have chosen to use the Blended Seasons bundle and have created a Bi Fold Window Card.

CONGRATS

This is just one card. I have shown it 4 different ways.
I adore how adding an extra fold gives this card so many more ways to view it.
I deliberately didn't add a sentiment to the front of my card. I have also left the middle of my card blank so a personal message can be added. I have stamped Congrats on the right inside fold. The word Congrats could be for many reasons, so the card is still very versatile.

I will now show you some larger shots so you can see more details.

Closed Front View

#KOCreationsCards #BlendedSeasonsBundle #WaterColour #WaterColor #Techniques #Congrats #CardMaking #InspiredByNature #Flowers #BifoldCard #ShabbyChic #Bees #StampinUp30

I wanted a Shabby feel to my card but I didn't want to tear the paper, as it would distract from the beautiful flowers too much. So I sanded the edges ever so lightly just to show some of the white hiding under the Blushing Bride. This kept the same feel of the paper in it's original form.
I wanted a contrast to the wood grain and the soft pinks, so I added some copper brads to die cut background around the outside edges.
I sponged Sahara Sand around the edges of the die cut stitched label, both the negative and the positive images to help grunge it up just a little. I also added some copper trim under the flowers to add a little bit more texture.

Open First Fold

#KOCreationsCards #BlendedSeasonsBundle #WaterColour #WaterColor #Techniques #Congrats #CardMaking #InspiredByNature #Flowers #BifoldCard #ShabbyChic #Bees #StampinUp30

The flowers and leaves have been water coloured using Aqua Painters and Ink pressed onto on Clear blocks. I coloured two images. Once all coloured I fussy cut the image out and layered onto the Copper Trim using Dimensionals.
Can you see some of the other details a little better?
What about the Bee, have you spotted him yet? He was added by first stamping him in black straight onto the coloured flowers. I then stamped him again in Sahara Sand on a scrap piece and water coloured the body. When dry, I cut it out and glued over the top of the black stamped image.

Side View

For the inside I decided that clean and simple was the go. I fussy cut out the other water coloured image and glued the top half to the inside of the right fold.

Open Second Fold

#KOCreationsCards #BlendedSeasonsBundle #WaterColour #WaterColor #Techniques #Congrats #CardMaking #InspiredByNature #Flowers #BifoldCard #ShabbyChic #Bees #StampinUp30

I stamped the word Congrats to the right of the flowers, this left the middle section completely blank for a more personal note to be written at a later stage.

Both Folds Open

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Alison Solven

Hello everyone 😊

I am hopping today with the Crazy Crafters Team and our special guest Alison Solven

We will all be using Alison as our inspiration today.
While perusing through Alison's wide range of works I noticed so many gorgeous floral cards. You can visit her blog HERE to check out some of her lovely designs.

I adore flowers of all types, so that is what I was inspired by.

For my project today I used a bundle called Floral Frames.

Here is my project.

Sending LOVE

#KOCreationsCards #FloralFrames #ShabbyChic #DistressTechnique #Flowers #InspiredByNature #Love #CardMaking #StampinUp30 #Layering

I wanted to create a Shabby style of card that has a clean feel with a bit of white space.

The background was created by distressing a piece of the Tropical Escape DSP and gluing straight onto the Whisper White card base.

Front View

#KOCreationsCards #FloralFrames #ShabbyChic #DistressTechnique #Flowers #InspiredByNature #Love #CardMaking #StampinUp30 #Layering

Focal Area

I stamped the coloured framed image onto Shimmery White in Sahara Sand.

I then coloured it with Inks and an Aqua Painter.

Old Olive

Garden Green

Petal Pink

Merry Merlot

Mossy Meadow

I defined the larger of the leaves using a Stampin' Write marker in old Olive.

I Fussy Cut the frame and layered it using dimensionals onto 3 Die cut Floral Frames.

The 3 frames were die cut from Old Olive and Thick Whisper White card stock.

I cut the centres out using the layering circles framelits.

I added a length of Copper trim that has been cut open and spread out flat behind my layered frames to add a little texture.

Thank you for stopping by. I do hope you have enjoyed my project today.

#KOCreationsCards #ColourYourSeason #LimitedEdition #StampinUp30 #GrayGranite #CI38 #PowderPink #BerryBurst #Flowers #Inspiredbynature #Congrats #Engagment #Wedding #CardMaking

I thought that I would do a spot of water colouring this time round. I am super happy with how it looks in these colours.

#KOCreationsCards #ColourYourSeason #LimitedEdition #StampinUp30 #GrayGranite #CI38 #PowderPink #BerryBurst #Flowers #Inspiredbynature #Congrats #Engagment #Wedding #CardMaking

Although I did notice that Gray Granite ink, stamps and water colours differently to the card stock. I even double checked to make sure that the card stock was the right one! Thats how different it looks, but yes it Gray Granite card stock and Gray Granite ink.. I do like the colour differrence though as it adds trhat little extra dimension to my flowers.

ESAD Designer Series Paper buy 3, get 1 free promotion blog hop

Hello and welcome to another wonderful ESAD hop.

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver- KOCreations Cards. You have arrived from Sharon Daltons post.

If you have just started the hop here, don't stress 😉 I have a button further down for you to continue moving through to the next lovely designer in the hop Siobhan Fitzsimmons

We are focusing our creative energies today on the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Promotion happening with Stampin' Up!® during July.

I purchased my faves from the list above.

Natures Poem, Animal Expedition and Tropical Escape. My FREE choice was the Under The Mistletoe DSP.

I thought about sharing a project from each DSP that I purchased in preparation for this hop and started creating.

But, I found myself ending up going back again and again to the Tropical Escape DSP.

So that is what I concentrated on - Tropical Escape.

I will share my other projects and link them back to this post over the coming week.

Here are a couple of projects using just 1 sheet of the gorgeous Tropical Escape DSP
