TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Today I want to share a ‘no line’ water colouring technique.

I am using the new Basic Beige Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp the floral image, from the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set, onto a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper.

The Basic Beige was a little darker than I thought it would be – perhaps it would have been better on a piece of Basic Beige cardstock.

I used Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo ink to water colour the flowers. The Water Painters are great colouring tools. The leaves are coloured using Garden Green.

After I finished water colouring the image, and letting it dry, I used Clear Wink of Stella to add some gorgeous shimmer.

I masked the greeting so that I could stamp the words in two seperate sections. After trimming down the greeitng, I attached it to the frot of the card with strips of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A length of Pretty in Pink bordered Ribbon was tied into a bow and adhered to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.

I stamped three very small flowers on the card insert and on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added three of the Pretty in Pink gems from the 2024-2025 In Colour Shimmer Gems pack.

Tomorrow I have a beautiful anniversary card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I want to showcase one of the soon to be released new Stamp’ Up! products – Layers of Beauty Bundle and Decorative Masks.

There are five masks in the Decorative Masks bundle.

For my first card I chose Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather for the flowers and Garden Green and Shaded Spruce for the leaves.

After using my Blending Brushes to colour the flowers and leaves, I cut the Basic White layer with the largest of the Rectangle Deckled Dies.

I added this panel to a Gorgeous Grape card base and Shaded Spruce layer.

The greeting was stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I coloured a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon with the Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blend. After cutting the narrow edge from the ribbon, I frayed the remaining length and adhered it to the embossed panel. Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the greeting layer up from the card front.

The narrow ribbon edge was then tied into a bow and attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

I stamped a small flower image on the cardinsert and envelope.

Finally, I added some Glossy Dots to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a water coloured floral image to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION #163 PROJECT

Welcome to our 163rd challenge at Colour INKspiration! We welcome Teah Karr Woodward as our Guest Designer.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Monica Formosa. As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI163, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Starry Sky, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! colour.

These colours are so vivid and it took me a while to figure out which stamp set/bundle I would use. Then Attention Shoppers came to mind.

I decided to use a Basic White card base and a panel of Crushed Curry paper from the 2023-2024 Regals 6″x 6″ DSP pack.

Then I used Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black card stock, with Adhesive Sheet attached to each, to die cut the shopping trolley.

The fun part was then stamping each of the shopping trolley items, several times, and then die cutting them. Then I used Stampin’ Write Markers and Stampin’ Blends to colour each of them.

Because the greeting I chose was ‘Treat Yourself’, I needed to fill the trolley with loads of goodies.

I stamped the same greeting inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

For bling, I added Clear Wink of Stella onto each of the trolley items.

One day soon I hope to find where the flower bouquet die has disappeard to!

Tomorrow I have my 3D Beach Day project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
