ANOTHER GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week’s challenge is #GPD317 and it is a colour challenge. Of all the GDP challenge categories, the colour challenge is definitely my favourite.

I love this colour combination! What do you think?

For my card, I decided to use the new Blessings of Home Stamp Set. This stamp set, with coordinating dies and Designer Series Paper was an early release bundle demonstrators were able to purchase for our 2021 OnStage @ Home event that was held from 11 – 13 November.

I decided to use a Misty Moonlight card base with a Basic White layer. Before securing the white layer, I wrapped a length of Mint Macaron Soft Velvet Ribbon and used Tear & Tape to fix it into place.

Then I cut a piece each of Blushing Bride and Misty Moonlight using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. These two die cut pieces were then given some texture using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals behind each embossed shape and positioned evenly above and below the ribbon.

I am so pleased with the way the embossed card and velvet ribbon combine to provide different textures to the card.

The floral image was stamped using Jet Black StazOn (not the Memento I mistakenly used in my product photo). Then I used my Water Painter to colour it. I decided to fussy cut, rather than die cut, the flower before popping it up onto a die cut piece of Mint Macaron card. This piece was then positioned over the other two embossed pieces.

The sentiment, from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set, was stamped in Mint Macaron and cut using the same Tasteful Labels Dies. Each end of the ‘Thank You’ label was trimmed and then positioned where you can see it.

When the water coloured image was dry, I painted Clear Wink of Stella across the flowers to add some shimmer.

I partially stamped the same floral image on the card insert and the envelope – there’s no surprise there. If you have seen any of my posts before, you will know that I never leave the inside of a card or an envelope undecorated.

I almost always add some embellishments to the front of my cards as my final step. This time I coloured some Clear Epoxy Essentials with the Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend.

During the OnStage @ Home event, we used the large floral image and I am looking forward to making more projects with this gorgeous set.

I’m so pleased with this card – lots of white space, layering and overlapping elements and such a great colour combination to use.

What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.

IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

This project will make my third challenge/blog hop this week. I’m on a roll.

I look forward to each Colour INKspiration challenge because they are so often colour combinations that I wouldn’t select myself.

May be an image of text that says '#109 COLOUR Crushed Curry SPIRATION CHALLENGES Pool Party Cinnamon Cider Early Espresso'

For this project I decided to use the Batik Boutique Bundle, which I haven’t used in a while. I also decided to try the baby wipe colouring technique for the first time.

I started by adding drops of ink refill to some folded baby wipes, then stamped the textile image from the Natural Textures Stamp Set several times (this is a host set from the current Annual Catalogue).

These were then cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut two for each of the floral elements that I made.

To make the floral elements I added some Adhesive Sheets to the back of strips of the four INKspiration colours. I cut one Early Espresso and two Cinnamon Cider full floral shapes. Then I cut two of the detailed infill shapes in both Crushed Curry and Pool Party.

The stamped panels were adhered to the back of the full floral shapes. Then I used the outline shapes from the detailed cut pieces and positioned each of them over the base full shape. As you can see, there are two with the Pool Party outline and one with the Crushed Curry outline.

The next step was to alternate the colours and fill in the outline. As you can see, two of them have Crushed Curry inserts and one has the Pool Party.

A panel of Cinnamon Cider was embossed using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder before it was attached to the front of the Crushed Curry card base.

The next step was to carefully postion the three feature panels down the centre of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. It was trimmed down and attached with dimensionals.

The floral image from the Batik Boutique Stamp Set was stamped, in Early Espresso ink, on the card insert and envelope.

Adding some Cinnamon Cider Square Gems, from the 2020 – 2021 In Colour Square Gems, was the last step for this card.

It’s always good to go back and use some of the products that have been left alone for far too long.

Until next time, happy stamping.
