CI#83 COLOUR CHALLENGE

A few weeks ago, I made a card for the Colour INKspiration CI#81 using these colours.

I was so pleased to be named the winner and asked to be a guest designer.

This is the colour scheme for CI#83.

At first, I found this colour palette challenging but decided to use the leaves in the image as my inspiration.

So, the LOVE OF LEAVES BUNDLE was called into action.

I love the dies in this bundle and the stitched features they give.

I enjoy layering elements on a card … and, a bit of bling. Thank goodness for WINK OF STELLA and ENAMEL DOTS.

The sentiment ‘I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE IN MY LIFE’ is ideal for so many situations.

Let me know what you think of this card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

OH, CHRISTMAS TREES

I started playing with some die cut triangles – folding and creasing them at different angles. That’s when I imagined them as Christmas trees.

The FOREVER GREENERY DSP was my go to paper for these trees.

I cut several different sizes using the STITCHED TRIANGLES DIES.

The SILVER FOIL stars were made using the STITCHED STARS DIES.

This was such a super quick and easy card to make.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN

After I made the LUCKY YOU card, that I posted yesterday, I decided to design a card using all the colours in the COLOUR VELVETEEN PAPER PACK – Cinnamon Cider, Highland Heather and Soft Sea Foam.

This is not my usual colour palette but it’s always good to challenge yourself and definitely a different style of card for me.

I decided to use the BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN STAMP SET and coordinating AUTUMN PUNCH PACK for this card.

I punched out lots and lots of the mini punch shapes – leaves and acorn.

The wreath was created by adhering the shapes onto a quarter inch circular piece of card stock I made using the LAYERING CIRCLES DIES.

I had so many punched shapes I decided to layer them to create some height on the card front.

As I mentioned earlier, this is not my preferred colour combination or style – so, I’m still deciding if I like the finished card. I need to put it to one side and look again later.

Hmmm … undecided.

Anyway, thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
