Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team's Heart of Christmas 2017: Week 2
June 07, 2017
It's Wednesday, so time for our Heart of Christmas Art with Heart Team showcase of Christmas creations for you. I'm finding this so fun and feel very accomplished to already have some Christmas cards ready for this year!
Today I wanted to use two of the new 2017 Stampin' Up! InColours with the Star of Light stamp set and coordinating Startlight Thinlits. I have used Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide. I love how these turned out.
I made one of each base colour, and mixed up the colours of the die cuts and stamping. These were pretty quick and simple to do and I think would make a good production line card.
The Tranquil Tide colour is quite dark, but the lemon Lime Twist really lifts and brightens it I think. I also like the look of the clear faceted gems and adhesive rhinestones with these colours.
I made this one second, and added a little extra stamping onto the Shimmery White piece behind the die cuts.
Lemon Lime Twist is fast becoming one of my favourite new colours! You can check out all the products I have used in this weeks cards, by clicking on the links at the end of the post.
Now it's time to check what the other clever ladies in my team have been creating for Christmas for week 2 of Heart of Christmas. We are really enjoying this as a fun, team sharing activity and love to check out what we have each made for the week too :)
Thanks for checking out week 2 of the Art with Heart Team's Heart of Christmas. I look forward to seeing you back here again soon,
Claire

Claire, I just love these colours and this beautiful stamp set together. The finishing touch is the gorgeous facetted gem in the centre of your stars.

I wouldn't have thought of using Lemon Lime Twist for Christmas, but it looks fabulous, Claire!

Oh I Love them Claire! Just Love this stamp set and the slight variation to the 2 cards. So easy to make and stamp a stack in 1 sitting. Brilliant! Didn't know if I would like Lemon Lime twist but I am starting to really like it!

You have done it again Claire. Love these two cards and the new colours are just right together. I was beginning to wonder just where to use the Lemon Lime twist and Tranquil Tide and you have come up with two cards that are lovely. I will definitely have a go at making some of these for Christmas and who knows, maybe use the colours elsewhere.
Many thanks
much love Jessie x
