Week 22: Highland Heather
You will find a number of products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue that feature Highland Heather including – Classic Stampin’ Pad, cardstock, ink refill, Stampin’ Blends, Subtles Designer Series Paper pack, Subtles Stampin’ Write Markers, Grosgrain Ribbon, Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate, Pastel Pearls and Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.
But my favourite product to feature the colour Highland Heather is……
This fabulous Memories & More card pack is perfect for both the card maker and scrapbooker. There are matching envelopes too, which are also gorgeous and perfect when sending your beautiful handmade card.
My card:
I love the way this mask from the Plenty of Patterns set of decorative masks matches the large floral and leaves from the In Symmetry stamp set. After creating the background using Highland Heather ink and a blending brush, I stamped and diecut the large floral and matted it with a scalloped circle of Highland Heather.
I decided that I needed another layer so I pulled out my trusty Tailor Made Tags dies and once diecut, embossed the tag using the Timeworn Type embossing folder. This was the first time I have used this embossing folder as it arrived in a recent order. It is really lovely and I know that it is about to become a favourite. I added small white pearls to the flower and used Gorgeous Grape pearls on the card. The greeting and ribbon are also Gorgeous Grape.
Channelling my inner Tina Gillespie I stamped the inside and envelope to match. I have begun doing this more often as it really does add a lovely touch to your handmade card.

What a lovely card, Michele. I love how the pretty masked background and focal flower element matches, it makes a lovely feature. I’ve just recently received the Timeworn Type EF too, and it’s already a favourite (it didn’t take long), of mine.
Your card made my heart sing, and that was even BEFORE I saw the stamped inside!! LOL!! It’s so beautiful.
Yes, that sponged background mask coordinates perfectly with In Symmetry. I love the embossed Tailor Made Tag behind the feature image, wonderful.
Very Pretty card Michele, I so love Highland Heather and your card really shows it off beautifully.
This is such a beautiful card, Michele, that shows off Highland Heather so well. The stencilled background, the embossed tag, the gorgeous colours in your stamping … all so pretty, and put together to perfection.
What a gorgeous creation Michele. So glad you shared about the matchy-matchy Plenty Of Patterns decorative masks, might need to get those.
Such a funky card Michele, great idea
Michelle I had never noticed how Plenty of Patterns decorative masks matches the large floral and leaves from the In Symmetry stamp set – they look fantastic together! Love everything about this card!
