Welcome to the Art With Heart Team, Colour Creations Blog Hop, for 2021-2022. Each week members of the team will showcase a current colour (in alphabetical order) from the extensive Stampin’ Up! range.
Week 24: Magenta Madness
You will find a number of products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue that feature Magenta Madness including – Classic Stampin’ Pad, cardstock, ink refill, Stampin’ Blends, 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper pack, 2020-2022 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers and Rainbow Glimmer paper.
But my favourite product to feature the colour Magenta Madness is……
For the second week in a row my card features this gorgeous paper.
My card:
My card also uses the coordinating bundle. These lovely images stamp beautifully. Being Distinktive™ stamps, there is a lot of lovely light and shade in the stamping. Just a word of warning when using Distinktive™ stamps……your ink pad needs to be a little on the dryer side. If you have a new ink pad or one that is very juicy, try conditioning it first, with a bone folder or the back of a spoon. Conditioning simply means, to move some of the excess ink held in the middle of your ink pad, to the sides.
This is a very ‘over the top’ card for me but because all the products coordinate so well, it works. I actually find this floral pattern intimidating but I was determined to use it. I think that the white tag gives your eyes somewhere to rest and I deliberately kept the sentiment to a bare minimum.
I stamped a coordinating image on the envelope and adhered a strip of the gold and white stripe across the bottom of the inside of the card.
A double bow of linen thread was my finishing touch.

This card is not “over the top” it is just perfect. I love the way you’ve used the white tag too, very nice indeed.
Your card is beautiful! The white tag was a great choice to catch the eye.
Your card is beautiful Michele but I do agree with you that the white tag works beautifully to break up the DSP
All of the elements on your card work so beautifully together Michele. The white tag was a great idea to settle the eye from all the vibrancy of the pink and gold. Just gorgeous!
A lovely combination of interesting layers and colour Michele.
Great use of these papers and stamps, Michele, and the tag is a fabulous addition. Just gorgeous!
Nothing “over the top” about this card, except for its beauty, Michele! You have put everything together so beautifully, and I agree, the white tag breaks up the boldness and busy-ness of the patterns … just right.
